This package makes it even easier to write maintainable and expressive Artisan commands, with argument/option casting, validation and autoAsk. Also, it lets you define your arguments/options with simple properties and attributes for better ide support and static analysis. And all this with a single trait.

🔧 Usage
-------

[](#wrench--usage)

> 🗯️ Before you use this package you should already have an understanding of Artisan Commands. You can read about them [here](https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/artisan).

### A Basic Command

[](#a-basic-command)

To use the Toolkit you simply need to add the `UsesConsoleToolkit` trait inside your command.

Then add the `Thettler\LaravelConsoleToolkit\Attributes\ArtisanCommand` to the class to specify the name and other things like description, help, and so on.

The `ArtisanCommand` requires the `name` parameter to be set. This will be the name of the Command which you can use to call it from the commandline.
