console service provider for Silex

ConsoleServiceProvider

Provides a Symfony\Component\Console based console for Silex., _(*1)

Install

The recommended way to install ConsoleServiceProvider is through composer., _(*2)

You can either add it as a depedency to your project using the command line:, _(*3)

$ composer require gridonic/console-service-provider

or by adding it directly to your composer.json file:, _(*4)

{
    "require": {
        "gridonic/console-service-provider": "1.0.*"
    }
}

Run these two commands to install it:, _(*5)

$ curl -s http://getcomposer.org/installer | php
$ php composer.phar install

Now you can add the autoloader, and you will have access to the library:, _(*6)

<?php
require 'vendor/autoload.php';

Register the service provider with your Silex application, _(*7)

register(new ConsoleServiceProvider(), array(
    'console.name' => 'MyApplication',
    'console.version' => '1.0.0',
    'console.project_directory' => __DIR__.'/..'
));

?>

You can now copy the console executable in whatever place you see fit, and tweak it to your needs. You will need a way to fetch your silex application, the most common way is to return it from your bootstrap:, _(*8)

For the rest of this document, we will assume you do have an app directory, so the console executable will be located at app/console., _(*9)

Usage

Use the console just like any Symfony\Component based console:, _(*10)

$ app/console my:command

Write commands

Your commands should extend Gridonic\Command\Command to have access to the 2 useful following commands:, _(*11)

• getSilexApplication, which returns the silex application
• getProjectDirectory, which returns your project's root directory (as configured earlier)

Register commands

There are two ways of registering commands to the console application., _(*12)

Directly access the console application from the console executable

Open up app/console, and stuff your commands directly into the console application:, _(*13)

#!/usr/bin/env php
add(new MyCommand());
$application->run();

?>

Use the Event Dispatcher

This way is intended for use by provider developers and exposes an unobstrusive way to register commands in 3 simple steps:, _(*14)

1. Register a listener to the ConsoleEvents::INIT event
2. Implement your program logic
3. PROFIT!

Example:, _(*15)

addListener(ConsoleEvents::INIT, function(ConsoleEvent $event) {
    $app = $event->getApplication();
    $app->add(new MyCommand());
});

?>
