README

The minimalistic slim framework console implementation.

About

So, what exactly is this package?

Well, it is a simple library for Slim Framework 3 that allows you to call controller actions from the console.

It utilizes the strategy design pattern to provide a flexible way of parsing a given argv array.

You can find more information on the php argv variable here.

Further it provides a small middleware class, designed to stop web-access to these actions.

Installation

Run composer require gameplayjdk/slim-console.

Yes, it's that simple.

Usage

Initial setup:

<?php
// ...

$configuration = [];

$console = new \Slim\Console\Console();

if ($console->isSupported()) {
    $configuration['environment'] = $console->getEnvironment($argv);
}

$configuration['settings'] = [
    // ...
];

$app = new \Slim\App($configuration);

// ...

Middleware usage:

<?php

// ...

$app->get('/cli/some-command', \App\Controller\CliController::class . ':someCommandAction')
    ->add($console->getMiddleware());

// ...

Call that action from the console:

php app.php cli some-command
