Console - reclaim reserved commands, like "list" and "-v"

[paulocoghi]

Is it possible to use the "list" command for my own purposes, overwriting its original usage?

Also, I would like to use the lowercase "-v" for version, instead of the original "verbose".

Are those changes possible? There is no problem if it isn't.

Possibly. You could try extending the ACON::Application type, then:

• Override default_commands to remove the list command
• Override default_input_definition to remove the verbose option and change version to use lowercase v
  • May also need to override do_run to check for -v, then call super
• Update @default_command to be what you need it to be
• Override configure_io to change back shell_verbosity and output.verbosity back to their defaults as it also checks for -v

I'm not sure if there will be any other side effects, but seems like it should be fine. Up to you if you think it's worth the extra overhead. Another approach could just be to not do this but simply do https://athenaframework.org/Console/Application/#Athena::Console::Application--default-command so your command is executed by default instead of list. And/or if your application is only going to have a single command, checkout https://athenaframework.org/Console/Application/#Athena::Console::Application--single-command-applications.
