Nette Console

Artisan-like console for Nette:

• Symfony Console wired into DI via contributte/console
• package discovery: DI extensions of installed packages register themselves after composer require
• make:* generators with overridable stubs

Installation

composer require rajtik76/nette-console

Attach discovery in Bootstrap, before the container is created:

use Rajtik\Console\Discovery\PackageDiscovery;

PackageDiscovery::fromComposer()->attach($this->configurator);

Add an entry script, e.g. nette in the project root:

#!/usr/bin/env php
<?php declare(strict_types=1);

require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

// debug mode recompiles the container on config changes; set NETTE_DEBUG=0 in production
$container = (new App\Bootstrap)->bootConsoleApplication(debugMode: getenv('NETTE_DEBUG') !== '0');
exit($container->getByType(Contributte\Console\Application::class)->run());

php nette list

list and --version print a nette banner; console: name and console: version set the caption under it.

Commands

Command	Description
make:command <Name>	Creates App\Console\<Name>Command. Mail/Report → App\Console\Mail\ReportCommand, terminal name app:report (--command to override, --force to overwrite).
package:discover	Lists extensions registered by discovery.
cache:clear	Deletes files in temp/cache (DI container, Latte, ...).

Commands extend Rajtik\Console\Command\Command and return an ExitCode from handle(); the process exits with its numeric value (Success = 0, Failure = 1, Invalid = 2):

use Rajtik\Console\Command\Command;
use Rajtik\Console\Command\ExitCode;
use Symfony\Component\Console\Attribute\AsCommand;
use Symfony\Component\Console\Input\InputInterface;
use Symfony\Component\Console\Output\OutputInterface;

#[AsCommand(name: 'app:send-report')]
final class SendReportCommand extends Command
{
    protected function handle(InputInterface $input, OutputInterface $output): ExitCode
    {
        return ExitCode::Success;
    }
}

Any service extending Symfony\Component\Console\Command\Command is a command. Register generated commands through search in services.neon:

search:
    - in: %appDir%
      classes:
        - *Command

Package discovery

A package declares its extensions in composer.json using NEON entity syntax:

"extra": {
    "nette": {
        "extensions": {
            "migrations": "Acme\\Migrations\\DI\\MigrationsExtension(%consoleMode%)"
        }
    }
}

• The container is recompiled after composer install/update (production) and whenever vendor/composer/installed.json changes (debug mode).

• An extension of the same name in the application's extensions: section wins.

• Two packages claiming the same name fail the compilation.

• Opt out in the root composer.json:

  "extra": {
      "nette": {
          "dont-discover": ["acme/migrations"]
      }
  }

"*" disables discovery entirely.

Configuration

netteConsole:
    stubs: %rootDir%/stubs          # application stubs override package ones (command.stub, ...)
    commands:
        namespace: App\Console
        directory: %appDir%/Console

Writing a generator

Extend Rajtik\Console\Command\GeneratorCommand and implement stubName(), defaultStubDirectory(), targetFile() and replacements(). Stub placeholders use {{ key }}. After generating, the DI container cache is invalidated so new classes found by search are registered on the next run.

Checks

composer run ci:check    # PHPStan level 8 + Nette Tester
