• Video introduction in french

Installation

$ composer require mnapoli/silly

Usage

Example of a Silly application:

use Symfony\Component\Console\Output\OutputInterface;

$app = new Silly\Application();

$app->command('greet [name] [--yell]', function ($name, $yell, OutputInterface $output) {
    $text = $name ? "Hello, $name" : "Hello";

    if ($yell) {
        $text = strtoupper($text);
    }

    $output->writeln($text);
});

$app->run();

Running the application is the same as running any other Symfony Console application:

$ php application.php greet
Hello
$ php application.php greet john --yell
HELLO JOHN
$ php application.php greet --yell john
HELLO JOHN

Silly\Application extends Symfony\Console\Application and can be used wherever Symfony's Application can.
