A boilerplate for console-based data import scripts

Console Import Standard Edition

A boilerplate for console-based data import scripts using symfony/console and ddeboer/data-import., _(*1)

Installation

You need Composer to create a new data import script:, _(*2)

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

After you have installed Composer you can create a new project using the following command:, _(*3)

$ php composer.phar create-project florianeckerstorfer/console-import-standard-edition path/to/install

The sample classes provided in this project reside in the Acme\DemoImport namespace. However, since this project uses PSR-4 I can place the classes directly in the src/ directory. Currently only the Command directory contains a file and you should open it and change the namespace according to your needs. You also have to adapt the namespace in composer.json in the autoload.psr-4 option., _(*4)

Usage

After implementing your import logic in a command you can run the application:, _(*5)

$ php bin/app.php

This will give you a list of all available commands. The demo command is called import and you need to call it the name of a CSV file., _(*6)

$ php bin/app.php import ~/my-data.csv

Adding Additional Commands

You can add additional commands to the application by creating a command and adding it to the application. Learn more about creating commands in the Console documentation., _(*7)

# bin/app.php

$console->add(new \Acme\DemoImport\Command\ImportCommand());
$console->add(new \Acme\DemoImport\Command\OtherCommand());
