This page assumes that you have created a Composer "make" script as described on the Setup page.
dot-makerwill look for a matching ServiceInterface in the module (e.g.: BookServiceInterface — BookCommand). If it finds one, it will automatically inject it into the Command.
To create a Command, use either of the following commands:
composer make commandOR
./vendor/bin/dot-maker commanddot-maker needs to know in which module you want to create the new Command.
To determine this, it will prompt you to enter the name of an existing module:
Existing module name:
If you input a module name which does not exist (like, "NonExistentModule"), an error will be thrown:
Module "NonExistentModule" not found
and will keep prompting for a valid module name until you provide one.
Once an existing module name (like, "ExistingModule") is provided, dot-maker will output a success message:
Found Module "ExistingModule"
Once the target module has been identified, you will be prompted to input a name for the Command:
Command name:
The name must contain only letters and numbers.
You don't have to append "Command" to the name. It is automatically appended when necessary. See our Naming Standards page for more information.
If you leave the name blank, the process will exit.
If you input an invalid name (like, "."), an error will be thrown:
Invalid Command name: "."
If you input the name of an existing Command (like, "ExistingCommand"), an error will be thrown:
Class "ExistingCommand" already exists at /path/to/project/src/ExistingModule/src/Command/ExistingCommand.php
If you input a valid name (like, "NewCommand"), dot-maker will create the Command and output a success message:
Created Command: /path/to/project/src/ExistingModule/src/Command/NewCommand.php
To allow the creation of multiple Commands, the process will loop until you leave the name blank. Each iteration creates a new Command under the same module.
