Rakit Console is simple PHP library to create Command Line Interface (CLI) Application. This library strongly inspired by Laravel Artisan Console.

• Closure command. You don't need to create class for simple command.
• Built-in command list.
• Auto help handler for each commands.
• Easy command signature.
• Password input.
• Simple Coloring.

Just run this composer command:

composer require rakit/console

Create a file named cli (without extension).

<?php

use Rakit\Console\App;

require('vendor/autoload.php');

// 1. Initialize app
$app = new App;

// 2. Register commands
$app->command('hello {name}', 'Say hello to someone', function($name) {
    $this->writeln("Hello {$name}");
});

// 3. Run app
$app->run();

Open terminal/cmd, go to your app directory, run this command:

php cli hello "John Doe"

You can see available commands by typing this:

php cli list

You can show help by putting --help or -h for each command. For example:

php cli hello --help
