Objective PHP / Command Line Interface

Description

CLI components allow to create command that are routable on CLI only.

The main main focus of this component is put on:

• implements maintenance scripts within the application
• reuse most of what is done for the main application in a CLI context

The CLI package provides Objective PHP applications with several components:

• CliRequest
  • this one will be used by the RequestWrapper from objective-php/application to expose CLI arguments to the routed action
• CliRouter
  • this component works together with the MetaRouter class from the objective-php/router package
  • it is needed to register then route the command line actions
  • the CliRouter is also responsible for triggering actions's parameter hydration
• CliParameterContainer
  • this is where the CLI parameters are stored
• AbstractCliAction
  • base class to extend for writing CLI actions

What's next

Next release with provide the developer with some more base action classes, especially targeted at creating workers.

How to test the work in progress?
