Symla-CLI
=========

[](#symla-cli)

Base structure for Joomla CLI scripts Provides support classes for simplified CLI scripts development for Joomla

1. Install Dependencies
=======================

[](#1-install-dependencies)

To work with this. You need to pull it via composer

```
composer require symla/cli

```

2. Let Joomla know about it
===========================

[](#2-let-joomla-know-about-it)

In your cli script you have to specify path to composer autoloader, copy bootstrap.php from cli folder to your cli folder and require it in your cli script

```
require_once(__DIR__ . '/bootstrap.php');

```

3. Create CLI file
==================

[](#3-create-cli-file)

Now you can use simplified CLI bootstrap class like this:

```

use Symla\Joomla\Cli\ApplicationCli;

class SimplifiedCli extends ApplicationCli
{
	public function doExecute()
	{
		// do something useful
	}
}

ApplicationCli::getInstance('SimplifiedCli')->execute();

```
