A powerful command line application framework for PHP. It's an extensible, flexible component, You can build your command-based application in seconds!

CLIFramework

CLIFramework is a command-line application framework, for building flexiable, simple command-line applications.

Commands and Subcommands can be registered from outside of an application or your plugins.

Defining a new command is pretty simple, all you need to is declare a class which is inherited from CLIFramework\Command class.

Features

• Intuitive command class and option spec

• command options are supported, powered by GetOptionKit. including long option, short option, required|optional|default value.

• Hierarchical commands.

• Automatic help page generation.

• Automatic zsh completion generator.

• Friendly message when command arguments are not enough.

• Testable, CLIFramework provides PHPUnit test case for testing the commands in PHP.

• Argument validation, suggestion,

• Command Groups

• HHVM compatible

Synopsis

class CommitCommand extends CLIFramework\Command {

    public function brief() { return 'brief of bar'; }

    public function options($opts) {
        $opts->add('C|reuse-message:','Take an existing commit object, and reuse the log message and the authorship information (including the timestamp) when creating the commit.')
            ->isa('string')
            ->valueName('commit hash')
            // ->validValues([ 'static-50768ab', 'static-c2efdc2', 'static-ed5ba6a', 'static-cf0b1eb'])
            ->validValues(function() {
                $output = array();
                exec("git rev-list --abbrev-commit HEAD -n 20", $output);
                return $output;
            })
            ;

        $opts->add('c|reedit-message:','like -C, but with -c the editor is invoked, so that the user can further edit the commit message.')
            ->isa('string')
            ->valueName('commit hash')
            ->validValues(function() {
                // exec("git log -n 10 --pretty=format:%H:%s", $output);
                exec("git log -n 10 --pretty=format:%H:%s", $output);
                return array_map(function($line) {
                    list($key,$val) = explode(':',$line);
                    $val = preg_replace('/\W/',' ', $val);
                    return array($key, $val);
                }, $output);
            })
            ;

        $opts->add('author:', 'Override the commit author. Specify an explicit author using the standard A U Thor <[email protected]> format.')
            ->suggestions(array( 'c9s', 'foo' , 'bar' ))
            ->valueName('author name')
            ;

        $opts->add('output:', 'Output file')
            ->isa('file')
            ;
    }

    public function arguments($args) {
        $args->add('user')
            ->validValues(['c9s','bar','foo']);
        $args->add('repo')
            ->validValues(['CLIFramework','GetOptionKit']);
    }

    public function init() {

        $this->command('foo'); // register App\Command\FooCommand automatically

        $this->command('bar', 'WhatEver\MyCommand\BarCommand');

        $this->commandGroup('General Commands', ['foo', 'bar']);

        $this->commandGroup('Database Commands', ['create-db', 'drop-db']);

        $this->commandGroup('More Commands', [
            'foo' => 'WhatEver\MyCommand\FooCommand',
            'bar' => 'WhatEver\MyCommand\BarCommand'
        ]);
    }

    public function execute($user,$repo) {
        $this->logger->notice('executing bar command.');
        $this->logger->info('info message');
        $this->logger->debug('info message');
        $this->logger->write('just write');
        $this->logger->writeln('just drop a line');
        $this->logger->newline();

        return "Return result as an API"; // This can be integrated in your web application
    }
}

Command Forms

CLIFramework supports many command-line forms, for example:

$ app [app-opts] [subcommand1] [subcommand1-opts] [subcommand2] [subcommand2-opts] .... [arguments] 

If the subcommand is not defined, you can still use the simple form:

$ app [app-opts] [arguments]

For example,

$ app db schema --clean dbname
$ app gen controller --opt1 --opt2 ControllerName 

Subcommand Hierarchy

Commands have methods for stages, like prepare, execute, finish, for a command like below:

$ app foo_cmd bar_cmd arg1 arg2 arg3

The call graph is like:

app->run
- app->prepare
  - foo_cmd->prepare
    - bar_cmd->prepare
    - bar_cmd->execute
    - bar_cmd->finish
  - foo_cmd->finish
- app->finish

Requirement

• PHP5.3

Installation

From composer

{
    "require": {
        "corneltek/cliframework": "*"
    }
}

Or install from repository:

$ git clone http://github.com/c9s/CLIFramework.git
$ pear install -f package.xml

Tutorial

To use CLIFramework, please define the application class first,

src/YourApp/CLIApplication.php:

namespace YourApp;
use CLIFramework\Application;

class CLIApplication extends Application
{

    /* init your application options here */
    public function options($opts)
    {
        $opts->add('v|verbose', 'verbose message');
        $opts->add('path:', 'required option with a value.');
        $opts->add('path?', 'optional option with a value');
        $opts->add('path+', 'multiple value option.');
    }

    /* register your command here */
    public function init()
    {
        $this->command( 'list', '\YourApp\Command\ListCommand' );
        $this->command( 'foo', '\YourApp\Command\FooCommand' );
        $this->command( 'bar' );    // initialize with \YourApp\Command\BarCommand
    }

}

Then define your command class:

src/YourApp/Command/ListCommand.php:

namespace YourApp\Command;
use CLIFramework\Command;
class ListCommand extends Command {

    function init()
    {
        // register your subcommand here ..
    }

    function options($opts)
    {
        // command options

    }

    function execute($arg1,$arg2,$arg3 = 0)
    {
        $logger = $this->logger;

        $logger->info('execute');
        $logger->error('error');

        $input = $this->ask('Please type something');

    }
}

To start your Application:

// include your PSR-0 autoloader to load classes here...
$app = new \YourApp\Application;
$app->run( $argv );

Defining Command Argument Info

In order to provide more information about your command, and generate meaningful completion script, CLIFramework provides a way for you to define the argument info of a command:

namespace YourApp\Command;
use CLIFramework\Command;
class FooCommand extends Command {

    public function arguments($args) {

        $args->add('user')
            ->desc('user name')
            ->validValues(['c9s','bar','foo']);

        $args->add('repo')
            ->desc('repository')
            ->validValues(['CLIFramework','GetOptionKit']);
    }
}

Zsh Completion Generator

example/demo zsh demo > _demo
source _demo

demo <TAB>

Console Prompt (Readline)

simple prompt:

$input = $this->ask("Your name please");

$ php demo.php
Your name please: 

prompt and except valid values:

$input = $this->ask("Your name please", array('John', 'Pedro'));

Version Info

CLIFrameword has a built-in --version option, to setup the version info, you can simply override a const in your application class to setup version string:

class ConsoleApp extends CLIFramework\Application
{
    const NAME = 'YourApp';
    const VERSION = '1.2.1';
}

This shows:

$ yourapp.php --version
YourApp - version 1.2.1

Example

Please check example/demo.php

$ php example/demo.php

ArgumentEditor

use CLIFramework\ArgumentEditor\ArgumentEditor;

$editor = new ArgumentEditor(array('./configure','--enable-debug'));
$editor->append('--enable-zip');
$editor->append('--with-sqlite','--with-postgres');

echo $editor;
# ./configure --enable-debug --enable-zip --with-sqlite --with-postgres

Message style formatter

$formatter = new CLIFramework\Formatter;
$formatter->format( 'message' , 'green' );

Built-in styles:

'red'          => array('fg' => 'red'),
'green'        => array('fg' => 'green'),
'white'        => array('fg' => 'white'),
'yellow'       => array('fg' => 'yellow'),
'strong_red'   => array('fg' => 'red', 'bold'  => 1),
'strong_green' => array('fg' => 'green','bold' => 1),
'strong_white' => array('fg' => 'white','bold' => 1),

Prompter Component

$prompter = new CLIFramework\Prompter;

$prompter->style = 'strong_white';

$value = $prompter->ask( "Please enter your email" );

$value = $prompter->ask( "Apple or Banana" , array( 'Apple', 'Banana' ) );

Chooser Component

$chooser = new CLIFramework\Chooser;
$value = $chooser->choose( "System Options" , array( 
    'use php-5.4.0' => '5.4.0',
    'use php-5.4.1' => '5.4.1',
    'use system' => '5.3.0',
));

How command class register works

• CLIApplication is inherited from CommandBase.
• Command is also inherited from CommandBase.
• To register a subcommand, we use the addCommand method to register commands or subcommands.
  • The command class is optional, if command class name is omitted, then the addCommand method will try to guess the real command class, and try to load the command class.
