Console commands tool in PHP
============================

[](#console-commands-tool-in-php)

Tool to quickly write console commands in PHP. It is based on a [Symfony Console Component](http://symfony.com/doc/master/components/console/introduction.html).

Depends:

- [symfony/console](https://github.com/symfony/Console)
- [symfony/finder](https://github.com/symfony/Finder)

Installation
============

[](#installation)

Create project with [Composer](http://getcomposer.org/doc/03-cli.md#create-project):

```
$ composer create-project suncat/console-commands ./cmd

```

go to the `cmd` directory with project:

```
$ cd ./cmd

```

Done!

Usage
=====

[](#usage)

Look at list available commands

```
$ app/console list

...
Available commands:
    generate   Generate skeleton class for new command
    help       Displays help for a command
    list       Lists commands
    test       Command test

```

Generate skeleton command class:

```
$ app/console generate

```

Write name of your command class in console dialog:

`Please enter the name of the command class:` AcmeCommand

Get the answer:

```
Generated new command class to "./cmd/src/Command/AcmeCommand.php"

```

Look at list available commands

```
$ app/console list

...
Available commands:
    acme       Command acme
    generate   Generate skeleton class for new command
    help       Displays help for a command
    list       Lists commands
    test       Command test

```

Execute your command `acme`:

```
$ app/console acme
Execute

```

Now you can change the logic of your command class on your own.

If the name of your command class will be in CamelCase you get `camel:case` command.
