CoRex Laravel Console

Laravel Console (artisan, commands, visibility)., _(*1)

Versioning for this package follows http://semver.org/. Backwards compatibility might break on upgrade to major versions., _(*2)

For bigger Laravel installations, the list of artisan commands can be quite long. This package enables you to have your own artisan with commands of your choice., _(*3)

Warning: existing laravel commands such as route:list is only hidden. If you add a command with same signature as an existing command, it will override existing command. If this happens, you cannot use i.e. $this->call() to call the overridden Laravel Command., _(*4)

Installation

Run "composer require corex/lconsole"., _(*5)

Now you have 2 options., _(*6)

Option 1

Add following code to AppServiceProviders@register method., _(*8)

if ($this->app->environment() == 'local') {
    $this->app->register(\CoRex\Laravel\Console\ConsoleServiceProvider::class);
}

Option 2

Copy the file "artisan" in package to root of Laravel installation and rename it., _(*9)

Setup artisan

Finally modify the created artisan file to suit your needs., _(*10)

Example of a new artisan., _(*11)

require_once(__DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php');

$artisan = new \CoRex\Laravel\Console\Artisan(__DIR__);

// Set name on artisan.
//$artisan->setName('name');

// Set version on artisan.
//$artisan->setVersion('x.y.z');

// Add single command.
//$artisan->addCommand(MyCommand::class);

// Add multiple commands on specified path.
//$artisan->addCommandsOnPath(path-to-commands, true, '');

$artisan->execute();

It is good practice to end all of your commands with the word "Command" i.e. "MyCommand". This way you can have only your commands added on "$artisan->addCommandsOnPath()" and not all other classes i.e. helpers., _(*12)

Example of a modified artisan., _(*13)

require_once(__DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php');

$artisan = new \CoRex\Laravel\Console\Artisan(__DIR__);

// Set name on artisan.
$artisan->setName('Test');

// Set version on artisan.
$artisan->setVersion('1.0.0');

// Add single command.
//$artisan->addCommand(MyCommand::class);

// Add multiple commands on specified path.
$artisan->addCommandsOnPath(__DIR__ . '/app/Console/Commands, true, '');

$artisan->execute();
