Console
Motivation: this library purpose is to provide a lighter and more robust API for console commands and/or applications to symfony/console.
It can be used either in combination with FrameworkBundle
to facilitate the creation of commands or as a stand-alone package to create a CLI application app.
Key differences:
- Implement interfaces instead of extending classes
- Leverages an
IO
object instead of Input + Output + SymfonyStyle which offers:- The API of SymfonyStyle but still access to the Input and Output objects
- A typed API for arguments and options

Installation with Symfony
<?php declare(strict_types=1);
// config/bundles.php
return [
// ...
// Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle()
// ...
Fidry\Console\FidryConsoleBundle::class => ['all' => true],
];
Usage preview
To implement a command you have to implement the Fidry\Console\Command\Command
interface as follows:
<?php declare(strict_types=1);
namespace Acme;
use Acme\MyService;
use Fidry\Console\Command\Command;
use Fidry\Console\Command\Configuration;
use Fidry\Console\ExitCode;
use Fidry\Console\IO;
final class CommandWithService implements Command
{
private MyService $service;
public function __construct(MyService $service)
{
$this->service = $service;
}
public function getConfiguration(): Configuration
{
return new Configuration(
'app:foo',
'Calls MyService',
<<<'EOT'
The <info>%command.name</info> command calls MyService
EOT,
);
}
public function execute(IO $io): int
{
$this->service->call();
return ExitCode::SUCCESS;
}
}
With the bundle enabled, those services are auto-configured into traditional Symfony commands.

Known limitations
Some limitations are due to lack of time dedicated to those or based on the assumption they are not necessary. Those choices may be revisited depending on of the use case presented.
- Support for hidden commands (see doc)
- Support for command aliases
- Support for command usage configuration
- Some methods of
Application

The project provides a Makefile
in which the most common commands have been registered such as fixing the coding style or running the test.
