How do I create Symfony Console commands?

Symfony Console is a component of the Symfony framework that allows you to create command-line commands. These commands can be used for various tasks such as running scripts, managing your application, and automating repetitive tasks. Here’s how you can create your own Symfony Console commands.

Creating a Symfony Console Command

To create a Symfony Console command, follow these steps:

  1. Create a new PHP class that extends the Command class.
  2. Define a configuration for your command using the configure method.
  3. Implement the logic for your command in the execute method.

Here’s an example:

<?php namespace App\Command; use Symfony\Component\Console\Command\Command; use Symfony\Component\Console\Input\InputInterface; use Symfony\Component\Console\Output\OutputInterface; class MyCustomCommand extends Command { protected static $defaultName = 'app:my-custom-command'; protected function configure() { $this ->setDescription('This command does something awesome.') ->setHelp('This command allows you to ...'); } protected function execute(InputInterface $input, OutputInterface $output) { // Your command logic here $output->writeln('Executing my custom command!'); return Command::SUCCESS; } } ?>
