How to use command

[ecotechie]

What are best practices for using this command?

I was able to run the command by creating a config.yml file under ~/.wp-cli:

require:
  - packages/local/present.php

I've tried running the command with:

Fairly certain I'm missing an easy solution to running the command :smile:

@ecotechie If you have the package properly loaded, you can simply run:

$ wp present my-presentation.md

It looks like the command is registered... Can you share the Markdown file you're using?

[ecotechie]

Got it working :confetti_ball:

Looking further into it, I now realize you must register the command on one of the yml files using:

require:
  - packages/local/present.php

Right?

Was hoping to be able to just do a quick wp eval-file.... my bad.

[danielbachhuber]

The command should register as soon as the PHP file is loaded: https://github.com/danielbachhuber/wp-cli-present-command/blob/master/present.php#L203

[ecotechie]

How would you load the php file in the command line without first setting the require: in a yml file? Clearly, I'm lacking in skills here :disappointed:

[danielbachhuber]

Sorry, taking a step all of the way back, here's how I was able to get it working locally:

First, I cloned the repository locally:

$ cd ~/.wp-cli
$ git clone git@github.com:danielbachhuber/wp-cli-present-command.git

Second, I edited ~/.wp-cli/config.yml to load the command:

require:
  - wp-cli-present-command/present.php

At this point, I could run wp present and see some output:

$ wp present
usage: wp present <file>

Then you just load your presentation file into the command:

The contents of presentation.md is this:

# This is the first presentation slide

It has some text in the body.

***

# This is the second presentation slide

The *** splits the content into multiple slides.

[danielbachhuber]

Oh. If you installed this with wp package install, then the present command wouldn't be registered because there's no autoloader defined.

Thanks for all the info!!!

I got it working as you suggested. Cloned with git.

Pretty fun package :smile: I'll provably change some things and get back to you with a pull request (just some additional formatting or such). I hope you don't mind me using it for a WordCamp talk. Giving credit to you of course!

Glad to hear :)

That'd be great! It'd be really helpful to have a README too. I haven't used this in such a long time that I've mostly forgotten how it works.

I hope you don't mind me using it for a WordCamp talk.

Sounds good, good luck! Let me know how it goes.
