#Making a Command

To make your own galaxy CLI command use the galaxy command make:command. Galaxy commands use the Symfony Console Package. Lets make a command named app:test.

php galaxy make:command Test app:test

This will output,

Command created: Test
Configure Command Test: Add your command to config/galaxy.php

You can now find your new command at app/Commands/Test.php. We will take a look at it next, but first add the command to the galaxy.php configuration file.

'commands' => [
    \App\Commands\Test::class
]

Now run php galaxy list and check for:

app
  app:test         Short description here

Now run the command:

 php galaxy app:test

This will output,

Executed!

You are now ready to start building your command.

#Coding Commands

Here is the Test command class we just created. If you want to make your commands without the galaxy CLI this can serve as a working template.

<?php
namespace App\Commands;

use \TypeRocket\Console\Command;

class Test extends Command
{

    protected $command = [
        'app:test',
        'Short description here',
        'Longer help text goes here.',
    ];

    protected function config()
    {
        // If you want to accept arguments
        // $this->addArgument('arg', self::REQUIRED, 'Description');
    }

    public function exec()
    {
        // When command executes
        $this->success('Execute!');
    }
}
