laminas/laminas-cli
Command-line tooling for Laminas applications. Provides a framework-agnostic CLI entry point and command infrastructure to run, discover, and organize project commands, with integration hooks for Laminas components and workflows.
laminas-cli is a command-line toolkit for the Laminas ecosystem, providing a consistent way to run and manage framework-related tasks from your terminal. It integrates with Laminas applications to streamline common workflows and encourage a standard CLI experience across projects.
Use laminas-cli to build, extend, and automate developer tooling via configurable commands and modules, making it easier to script and maintain repeatable operations during development and deployment.
- Unified CLI entry point for Laminas-based projects
- Extensible commands via modules/packages
- Config-driven command registration and behavior
- Developer workflow automation for routine tasks
- Framework-friendly integration with Laminas apps
Frequently asked questions about Laminas Cli
- Can I use laminas-cli in Laravel projects, or is it only for Laminas/Mezzio?
- While laminas-cli is designed for Laminas projects, its core features—like Symfony Console integration and PSR-11 container support—work with Laravel. You can use it for custom CLI tools, especially if you need Laminas-specific integrations or advanced input handling. However, manual setup (e.g., container binding) may be required due to Laravel’s container differences.
- How do I install laminas-cli in a Laravel project?
- Run `composer require laminas/laminas-cli` to install. However, since Laravel’s container isn’t natively compatible, you’ll need to either wrap it in a PSR-11 container adapter or register commands manually via a Laravel service provider. Check the [README](https://github.com/laminas/laminas-cli) for container configuration options.
- Will laminas-cli work with Laravel’s Artisan commands?
- No, laminas-cli and Artisan are separate systems, but they can coexist. If you need Laminas-specific CLI features (e.g., advanced input prompts), laminas-cli may complement Artisan. For most Laravel use cases, Artisan alone is sufficient unless you’re bridging Laminas and Laravel ecosystems.
- How do I register custom commands with laminas-cli in Laravel?
- Bind commands via a Laravel service provider using `$this->app->singleton(MyCommand::class)`. Alternatively, configure them in `config/laminas-cli.php` if you’re using the package’s native setup. Ensure commands are namespaced to avoid conflicts with Artisan (e.g., `laminas:` prefix).
- Does laminas-cli support Laravel’s non-interactive environments (e.g., CI/CD)?
- laminas-cli’s interactive prompts (e.g., input parameters) may fail in non-interactive contexts like CI. Mitigate this by providing default values or using CLI arguments instead. Test commands in `--no-interaction` mode to ensure compatibility with Laravel’s scheduled tasks or deployments.
- What Laravel versions does laminas-cli support?
- laminas-cli itself doesn’t enforce Laravel version constraints, but it requires PHP 8.0+ and Symfony Console (v5.4+). Ensure your Laravel version (8.x+) aligns with these dependencies. Test thoroughly, as container integration may vary across Laravel releases.
- Can I replace Artisan with laminas-cli entirely in Laravel?
- No, laminas-cli isn’t a drop-in replacement for Artisan. While it shares Symfony Console under the hood, it lacks Laravel-specific features like migrations, queues, or Eloquent integrations. Use it only for custom or Laminas-compatible CLI tools alongside Artisan.
- How do I handle dependency injection for laminas-cli commands in Laravel?
- Laravel’s container (PSR-11) can inject dependencies into laminas-cli commands if registered via a service provider. For example, bind a command’s dependencies manually in `register()` or use Laravel’s autowiring. Avoid relying on laminas-cli’s native container setup to prevent conflicts.
- Are there performance concerns with adding laminas-cli to Laravel?
- laminas-cli adds minimal overhead if used sparingly for custom commands. However, its Laminas-specific abstractions (e.g., config keys) may introduce slight bloat. Profile your app to ensure no performance degradation, especially in high-traffic CLI workflows like queues or migrations.
- What alternatives exist for advanced CLI tooling in Laravel?
- For Symfony Console-based CLI tools, consider Symfony’s `console` component directly or packages like `spatie/laravel-command`. If you need Laminas integrations, laminas-cli is unique, but for pure Laravel, Artisan or Symfony’s tools are more idiomatic. Evaluate based on your project’s ecosystem (e.g., Laminas vs. Laravel-only).
