Defining console commands #18

Open Jaspervv opened 5 years ago

Jaspervv commented 5 years ago

Is it possible to define console commands from within a plugin? And if so.. how?

The only way made this possible was by editing the themosis/themosis's App\Console\Kernel. But I would like the plugin to work independently.

@Jaspervv Normally you should have access to the Command alias which lets you call commands defined from the root application.

Now for defining commands, I haven't extended the plugin manager for this but this can actually be a great feature addition. So yes, for now I think you can't define commands from the plugin.

Thanks, I checked and calling commands can be done with

Console::call('key:generate');

For anyone coming across this in the future, be sure to check Laravel's Documentation.

Implementing commands support for plugins requires more than I thought, php console never initialises WordPress, therefor plugins and the PluginLoader are never initialised either.

The idea with plugin commands would be to be able to register commands within the application without having to load WordPress. WordPress will always try to look after a database and for running commands, it is not necessary.
