The Helpers

TableGeneratorHelper

Usage

Register the helper:

/** @var \Symfony\Component\Console\Application $app */
$app->getHelperSet()->set(new \Ctrl\Console\Helper\TableGeneratorHelper());

Generate a table:

public function execute(InputInterface $input, OutputInterface $output)
{
    // Retrieve the Helper from the HelperSet
    $tableGenerator = $this->getHelperSet()->get('table_generator');

    /** @var \Traversable $data */
    $data = getATraversable();

    // Pass $output to the Generator to render the table immediately.
    $tableGenerator->generate($data, $output);

    // Or, don't, and the generator will return the table instead.
    $table = $tableGenerator->generate($data);
    $table->render($output);
}

Mapper

You can pass a callable in the generator's 3rd argument to map each row before adding it to the table.

public function execute(InputInterface $input, OutputInterface $output)
{
    // ...

    $mapper = function($row) {
        return [ 'a', 'b', 'c' ];
    };

    // Apply the mapper to the results
    $tableGenerator->generate($data, $output, $mapper);

    /*
    Output:
    +---+---+---+
    | 0 | 1 | 2 |
    +---+---+---+
    | a | b | c |
    | a | b | c |
    | a | b | c |
    | a | b | c |
    +---+---+---+
    */
}

CsvGeneratorHelper

Usage

Register the helper:

/** @var \Symfony\Component\Console\Application $app */
$app->getHelperSet()->set(new \Ctrl\Console\Helper\CsvGeneratorHelper());

Configure a to-csv option in your command Definition to provide the csv filename as an argument:

public function configure()
{
    $this->setDefinition([
        new InputOption('to-csv', null, InputOption::VALUE_OPTIONAL, 'The CSV filename')
    ]);

Then, call the generator during execute:

public function execute(InputInterface $input, OutputInterface $output)
{
    // Retrieve the Helper from the HelperSet
    $csvGenerator = $this->getHelperSet()->get('csv_generator');

    /** @var \Traversable $data */
    $data = getATraversable();

    // Generate the CSV. The user will be prompted for the filename if it has not yet been provided.
    $csvGenerator->generate($data, $output);
}

Mapper

The CsvGeneratorHelper also includes the ability to apply a map to each row before being inserted. Check the Mapper section for the TableGeneratorHelper for more details.

Filename

If you want to specify a filename at generation time, or if you are working in a non-interactive mode, you can pass the filename as the 4th parameter of the generate method.

public function execute(InputInterface $input, OutputInterface $output)
{
    // ...

    // Generate the CSV with a specific filename.
    $csvGenerator->generate($data, $output, null, '/path/to/my.csv');
}
