Slim CLI?

[ABGEO]

Hello,

I think it would be nice to create a new Slim component - CLI Console (like Symfony Console), to start the PHP Dev server, Debug router and Container, Generating Routes and Actions etc.

If you agree with me, I can immediately start working on it.

It would be a good idea to integrate into a separate repo. CLIs require a kitchen sink of dependencies so isolating it to its own repo is better imo.

[ABGEO]

@l0gicgate I agree with you, this should be a separate repository. We can create a new repository, for example Slim-console, and I will work in it, if we really need this feature.

[l0gicgate]

I'm definitely open to new features that improve the end user UX. Let's get some feedback in here and see what we should put in there

@ABGEO07 @l0gicgate Would it make sense to put a CLI component as a part of https://github.com/slimphp/Slim-Skeleton ?
Since this is what Slim-Skeleton's purpose is:

to quickly setup and start working on a new Slim Framework 4 application.

Is this supposed to be a cli tool for Slim powered web applications like artisan is for Laravel? Or is it a slim cli framework for creating cli applications?

Thanks for the clarification

What's the status of this? Has a new repo been created? I'd like to contribute to this effort.

[l0gicgate]

I need to create a new repo. We also need to figure out how the CLI will be built. What are we going to use to create a console? I have experience with symfony/console. Any other suggestions?

Also, what is going to be the initial functionality?

• Setup a project?
• Create routes?

I need more input

I would suggest the initial functionality be create a project (prompting the user for what interfaces they want to use for error control, DI, etc.), Routes with a hello-world skeleton action. Other features to be added later may be validation and sanitation middleware.

My suggestion is to use Robo with Climate. I've used this successfully in the Willow Framework
I created Willow to marry Slim 4 with the Eloquent ORM. Here are some examples:

./willow list

./willow db:show-tables and willow db:show-columns User

I would like to see something like in the yii2 framework's cli interface(especially their gii/* commands.

• Model Generator - This generator generates an ActiveRecord class for the specified database table.
• CRUD Generator - This generator generates a controller and views that implement CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations for the specified data model.
• Controller Generator - This generator helps you to quickly generate a new controller class, one or several controller actions and their corresponding views.
• Form Generator - This generator generates a view script file that displays a form to collect input for the specified model class.
• Module Generator - This generator helps you to generate the skeleton code needed by a Yii module.
• Extension Generator - This generator helps you to generate the files needed by a Yii extension.

But where are the models, controllers, forms, modules and extensions in Slim?
