console

[lablnet]

As i was thinking since the long time about new improved console so finally i try to find time and work on it.

Its new console, which support to register commands etc..
A simple hello world command may look like this

<?php

namespace App\Console\Commands;
use Zest\Console\Command;

class Hello extends Command
{
    protected $sign = "hello";
    protected $description = "Command to print hello message on screen";

    public function handle()
    {
        $this->write("<green>Hello World.</green>");
    }
}

In Zest Skeleton it should added to
App/Config/Console.php

<?php

namespace Config;
use Zest\Console\Commands as InternalCommands;

class Commands extends InternalCommands {
    protected $commands = [
        ['hello',  \App\Console\Commands\Hello::class],
    ];
}

It also have few internals commands

Here is snapshot of list command

@peter279k and @Maikuolan what do yo think about this approach?

The symfony console exists no matter, but i love to reinvent wheel, and the motive of Zest framework.

Your works are very similar with Symfony/Components.

I don't think it's not very necessary to rebuild a console....Why don't you build a console on top of above component :)?

Because

The main purpose of Zest framework is to provide a very lightweight framework without any external dependencies except core and autoloader

[Maikuolan]

Seems like an interesting idea. Would be a nice addition to Zest, I think. :-)

I'm not super familiar with framework-based consoles though, TBH. Even Symfony's console, which seems to be reasonable popular AFAICT, isn't something I tend to ever use, except when necessary (e.g., when using a Symfony-based application which relies on their console).

[peter279k]

Just notice that the console about Laravel framework relies on the Symfony/Console.

My main suggestion is: We should consider using the lightweight PHP console to build the console Zest framework.

It should be easy to build and it can avoid "repeating yourself" :).

What do you mean by light weight php console

For now in this 'PR' I will continue a bit work the think about it. The proglen is that to include third party lib is violate term of Zest .
