Have you ever executed 2 or 3 artisan commands *over*, and *over*, and *over* in your Laravel projects? Me too! That's what prompted this package. With it, you can define "shortcuts" to bundle up those commonly used commands into short, memorable names (or long, convoluted ones, that's up to you!).

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

You'll have to follow a couple of simple steps to install this package.

### Downloading

[](#downloading)

Via [composer](http://getcomposer.org):

```
$ composer require sven/artisan-shortcuts
```

Or add the package to your dependencies in `composer.json` and run `composer update` on the command line to download the package:

```
{
    "require": {
        "sven/artisan-shortcuts": "^1.0"
    }
}
```

### Registering the service provider

[](#registering-the-service-provider)

If you're [not using auto-discovery](https://laravel.com/docs/5.6/packages#package-discovery), register `Sven\ArtisanShortcuts\ServiceProvider::class` in your `config/app.php` file.

### Publishing the configuration file

[](#publishing-the-configuration-file)

To publish this package's configuration file, execute the following command and pick `Sven\ArtisanShortcuts\ServiceProvider` from the list:

```
$ php artisan vendor:publish
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

After publishing the configuration file, you can define your shortcuts in `config/shortcuts.php`. Knowing that, creating your own artisan shortcuts is fairly straightforward. Take a look at the following configuration:

```
return [
    'custom-command' => [
        FirstCommand::class => [
            '--option' => 'value',
        ],
        SecondCommand::class,
    ],
];
```

Running `php artisan custom-command` will execute `FirstCommand` with the option `--option=value`, and `SecondCommand` without any arguments or options.

Something I use this for all the time is [Barry van den Heuvel's `laravel-ide-helper` commands](https://github.com/barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper):

```
return [
    'ide' => [
        GeneratorCommand::class,
        ModelsCommand::class => ['--nowrite' => true],
        MetaCommand::class,
    ],
];
```

Instead of using the FQCN for the command classes, you can also use the command names:

```
return [
    'clear' => [
        'cache:clear',
        'config:clear',
        'view:clear',
    ],
];
```
