A very simple structure for running CLI commands as part of your Slim Framework application
A very simple structure for running CLI commands as part of your Slim Framework application., (*1)
This is not a console tool. It's just a parallel to the HTTP entry point into your application, enabling you to do things like create create scripts to be run as cronjobs or set up basic queue listeners., (*2)
Taking the structure of Slim-Skeleton as an example, your public/index.php does this:, (*3)
require __DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php'; session_start(); // Instantiate the app $settings = require __DIR__ . '/../src/settings.php'; $app = new \Slim\App($settings); // Set up dependencies require __DIR__ . '/../src/dependencies.php'; // Register middleware require __DIR__ . '/../src/middleware.php'; // Register routes require __DIR__ . '/../src/routes.php'; // Run app $app->run();
You need to create a new PHP script, similar to this, to serve as the entry point for your commands.
It should be outside the public folder. Perhaps src/cli.php., (*4)
require __DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php'; // Instantiate the app $settings = require __DIR__ . '/settings.php'; $app = new \DrewM\SlimCommander\App($settings); // Set up dependencies require __DIR__ . '/dependencies.php'; // Register commands instead of routes require __DIR__ . '/commands.php'; // Run app $app->run($argv);
Instead of routes, you define commands in e.g. src/commands.php., (*5)
$app->command('HelloWorld', 'HelloWorld:greet', [
'name',
]);
Arguments are:, (*6)
In the above example, the first argument will be passed to the callback as name, (*7)
Your callback gets the container passed to its constructor:, (*8)
class HelloWorld
{
private $container;
public function __construct($container)
{
$this->container = $container;
}
public function greet($args)
{
echo "Hello " . $args['name'];
}
}
Add it to your container, just as you would normally:, (*9)
$container['HelloWorld'] = function ($container) {
return new \App\Commands\HelloWorld($container);
};
And then you'd execute it with php src/cli.php HelloWorld Fred, (*10)
