Yii Console package provides a console that could be added to an application. This console is based on
[Symfony Console](https://github.com/symfony/console). The following extra features are added:
- lazy command loader;
- `SymfonyEventDispatcher` class that allows to use any [PSR-14](https://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-14/) compatible event
dispatcher with Symfony console;
- `ErrorListener` for logging console errors to any [PSR-3](https://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-3/) compatible logger;
- console command `serve` that runs PHP built-in web server;
- raises events `ApplicationStartup` and `ApplicationShutdown` in console application;
- class `ExitCode` that contains constants for defining console command exit codes;
- `ConsoleBufferedOutput` that wraps `ConsoleOutput` and buffers console output.
## Requirements
- PHP 8.0 or higher.
## Installation
The package could be installed with [Composer](https://getcomposer.org):
```shell
composer require yiisoft/yii-console
```
## General usage
In case you use one of Yii 3 standard application templates, console could be accessed as `./yii `.
If not, then in the simplest use case in your console entry script do the following:
```php
#!/usr/bin/env php
setCommandLoader(new CommandLoader(
// Any container implementing `Psr\Container\ContainerInterface` for example:
new Container(ContainerConfig::create()),
// An array with command names as keys and service IDs as values:
['my/custom' => MyCustomCommand::class],
));
$app->run();
```
Since `\Yiisoft\Yii\Console\CommandLoader` uses lazy loading of commands, it's necessary
to specify the name and description in static properties when creating a command:
```php
use Symfony\Component\Console\Attribute\AsCommand;
use Symfony\Component\Console\Command\Command;
use Yiisoft\Yii\Console\ExitCode;
#[AsCommand(
name: 'my:custom',
description: 'Description of my custom command.'
)]
final class MyCustomCommand extends Command
{
protected function configure(): void
{
// ...
}
protected function execute(InputInterface $input, OutputInterface $output): int
{
// ...
return ExitCode::OK;
}
}
```
Run the console entry script with your command:
```shell
your-console-entry-script my/custom
```
> When naming commands use `:` as a separator. For example: `user:create`, `user:delete`, etc.
Since the package is based on [Symfony Console component](https://symfony.com/doc/current/components/console.html),
refer to its documentation for details on how to use the binary and create your own commands.
### Aliases and hidden commands
To configure commands, set the names and aliases in `\Yiisoft\Yii\Console\CommandLoader` configuration.
Names and aliases from the command class itself are always ignored.
The command can be marked as hidden by prefixing its name with `|`.
```php
'yiisoft/yii-console' => [
'commands' => [
'hello' => Hello::class, // name: 'hello', aliases: [], hidden: false
'start|run|s|r' => Run::class, // name: 'start', aliases: ['run', 's', 'r'], hidden: false
'|hack|h' => Hack::class, // name: 'hack', aliases: ['h'], hidden: true
],
],
```
### Runs PHP built-in web server
You can start local built-in web development server using the command:
```shell
./yii serve
```
Your application will be accessible in your web browser at by default.
To configure default settings, set the options in `\Yiisoft\Yii\Console\CommandLoader` configuration.
```php
'yiisoft/yii-console' => [
'serve' => [
'appRootPath' => null,
'options' => [
'address' => '127.0.0.1',
'port' => '8080',
'docroot' => 'public',
'router' => 'public/index.php',
],
],
],
```
Alternatively, you can pass the settings through the console options.
> Tip: To run a web server with XDebug enabled, pass `--xdebug 1` to the command.
To see the available options, run `./yii serve --help`.
