Commands

Lenkrad uses the Symfony console to facilitate CLI commands. It's wise to head over to the package's documentation, but for our purposes, here's a quick example using this documentation's custom route generator:


            namespace Configuration;

            use Neoan\Cli\Create\FileCreator;
            use Neoan\NeoanApp;
            use Symfony\Component\Console\Attribute\AsCommand;
            use Symfony\Component\Console\Command\Command;
            use Symfony\Component\Console\Input\InputArgument;
            use Symfony\Component\Console\Input\InputInterface;
            use Symfony\Component\Console\Output\OutputInterface;

            #[
                AsCommand(
                    'create:webroute',
                    'Starter: Creates file implementing Routable'
                )]
            class WebRouteCommand extends Command
            {

                private NeoanApp $neoanApp;

                // should you need the core instance, you can pass it in
                public function __construct(NeoanApp $neoanApp, string $name = null)
                {
                    $this->neoanApp = $neoanApp;
                    parent::__construct($name);
                }

                // see https://symfony.com/doc/current/console.html#configuring-the-command
                protected function configure()
                {
                    $this
                        ->addArgument(
                            'name',
                            InputArgument::REQUIRED,
                            'fully qualified namespace'
                        );
                }

                // see https://symfony.com/doc/current/console.html#creating-a-command
                protected function execute(InputInterface $input, OutputInterface $output): int
                {
                    FileCreator::process('controller', $input->getArgument('name'), $this->neoanApp, $output);
                    $viewTemplate = file_get_contents($this->neoanApp->cliPath . '/.templates/ViewTemplate.html');

                    $nameParts = explode('\\', $input->getArgument('name'));


                    file_put_contents($this->neoanApp->appPath . '/views/docs/' . strtolower(end($nameParts)) . '.html', $viewTemplate);


                    return Command::SUCCESS;
                }
            }
            

In order to register the command, open the file "cli" (or wherever you or your starter package placed the cli command) and load it.



            use Configuration\WebRouteCommand;
            use Neoan\Cli\Application;
            use Neoan\Helper\Setup;
            use Neoan\NeoanApp;

            require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';
            $setup = new Setup();
            $setup->setPublicPath(__DIR__ . '/public')
                  ->setLibraryPath(__DIR__ . '/src');

            $app = new NeoanApp($setup, __DIR__);

            $console = new Application($app);

            // add your command(s)
            $console->add(new WebRouteCommand($app));
            $console->run();
