Download the PHP package cymapgt/console without Composer

console

package for exposing PHP services via a console interface, providing build in authentication if needed

Description

The console package allows other packages to implement an interface that allows them to provide command line functionality to their classes in with minimal duplication of code. A NetConsoleInterface aware class can be registered to the console API; which offers among other things automatic help generation as well as an authentication interface prior to accessing registered namespaces.

Installing

Install application via Composer

require "cymapgt/console" : "^1.0.0"

Usage

Overview

• Authenticate the console user (named console) to the Service

• Provide interface to add services to the API

• Provide interface to remove services from the API

• Provide interface to amend a service using the API

• Provide interface to display usage for the API

• Provide interface to delegate actual API calls to the registered services

Using the Console package

Writing a NetConsole aware class

The package comes with two demo Classes that implement the NetConsoleInterface. See the files src/DemoApi.php and src/DemoRpi.php for template which you can use to implement your NetConsole class. Copy the files and customize as required.

Authentication to NetConsole

The default NetConsole authentication comes with some assumptions:

1.You auth data store is a database, with a table named user; and fields for username and password

2.You have an active user named console in the datastore

If you adhere to the above, your console authentication will work out of the box (assuming as well that the NetworkBootstrap is properly configured).

If you would like to implement your own Authentication, replace the file src/helper/ConsoleCredentials.php and in it

1.Create a class named ConsoleCredentials

2.Creat a public static method named authenticate() that will implement your custom authentication logic

Core NetConsole Commands

The core of NetConsole implements the NetConsoleInterface. There are a number of reserved keywords:

1.ADD COMMAND:

add serviceName serviceNamespace

COMMANDS AND SWITCHES:

COMMANDS

serviceName - The name of the service as registered in the console, or one of the sticky services.

serviceNamespace - The fully qualified namespace for the service being registered to the netconsole API

SWITCHES

None

EXAMPLE:

add bootstrap cymapgt\core\utility\bootstrap\console\BootstrapConsole;

2.HELP COMMAND:

help serviceName [-v="..."] [-m="..."]

COMMANDS AND SWITCHES:

COMMANDS

serviceName - The name of the service as registered in the console, or one of the sticky services.

SWITCHES

-v - The verbosity level of the help documentation

-m - Specifying a method name here will filter the help to provide only docs for that specific method

EXAMPLES

help bootstrap -m=config-all -v=3

help add

3.REMOVE COMMAND:

remove serviceName

COMMANDS AND SWITCHES:

COMMANDS

serviceName - The name of the service as registered in the console, or one of the sticky services.

SWITCHES

None

EXAMPLE:

remove bootstrap

4.QUIT COMMAND:

quit

COMMANDS AND SWITCHES:

COMMANDS

None

SWITCHES

None

EXAMPLE:

quit

5.CUSTOM COMMANDS:

Your PHP services functionality is exposed by implementing the NetConsoleInterface

After this implementation, you need to register your package with NetConsole by using the add command.

Successfully adding the package will expose all of the commands and switches you defined in the console configuration. The package can thus be used for managing tasks such as application installations within a controlled environment if you are distributing your proprietary logic.

It can also be used to quickly convert PHP services to console applications.

Testing

PHPUnit Tests are provided with the package
