Commands

Creating a command

The current implementation simply uses the already existing controller structure. Nothing extra needed to do.

Running a command

To run a command, simply use: php index.php run <controller> <action> <param1> ...

Be sure to use chdir(realpath(__DIR__)) in your index.php if you are running commands from a different working directory, e.g. as a cronjob.

Dedicated console commands

Since version 1.4.0, real Symfony console commands can live in app/Commands/ (in the application and in modules). Each file declares one global class named like the file, extending the Symfony Command class:

<?php
    use Symfony\Component\Console\Command\Command;
    use Symfony\Component\Console\Input\InputInterface;
    use Symfony\Component\Console\Output\OutputInterface;

    class ReportCommand extends Command {
        protected function configure(): void {
            $this->setName("report:daily");
        }

        protected function execute(InputInterface $in, OutputInterface $out): int {
            $out->writeln(model("Report")->summary());
            return Command::SUCCESS;
        }
    }
?>

Run it with php index.php report:daily; it appears in php index.php list next to the framework commands. The framework is fully booted before execute() runs, so config(), model(), and the database are available. When two roots register the same command name, the application wins over modules, and modules win over the framework.
