README

CLI generator for the Laika PHP MVC Framework.

Install

laika-cli ships as a dependency of laikait/laika-core, so every Laika project already has it. If you started from laikait/laika-framework, the wiring below is already in your composer.json and the executable is generated for you on composer install, update, dump-autoload and create-project — no manual step needed.

php laika help

Wiring it up manually

Composer only runs scripts declared by the root project, never by a dependency. So a project that wasn't created from the framework skeleton needs to call the generator itself:

"scripts": {
    "post-autoload-dump": [
        "Laika\\Cli\\ScriptHandler::generate"
    ],
    "post-create-project-cmd": [
        "Laika\\Cli\\ScriptHandler::generate"
    ]
}

Keep ScriptHandler::generate first in post-autoload-dump if later entries in that list invoke laika themselves — it has to exist before they run.

What gets generated

File	Platform	How you run it
`laika`	all	`php laika help` — or `./laika help` on Linux/macOS
`laika.bat`	Windows only	`laika help` in cmd, `.\laika help` in PowerShell

Both are thin proxies into vendor/laikait/laika-cli, so they always match the version this project has installed. They are rewritten only when their content actually changes, and regenerate if you delete them.

Versions before 3.0 shipped this package as a Composer plugin, which required an allow-plugins entry in every consuming project. That is no longer needed — you can drop "laikait/laika-cli": true from your config.allow-plugins.

Global install

Prefer a single laika command available in every project? Install it globally instead:

composer global require laikait/laika-cli

Make sure Composer's global vendor/bin directory is on your PATH (see the Composer docs), then run laika from inside any Laika project directory (or a sub-directory of one):

laika model:make User

The global binary detects the current project by walking up from your working directory until it finds lf-boot/app.php — no php prefix needed.

Usage

php laika route:make users
php laika pipeline:make Auth
php laika filter:make Log
php laika model:make User --table=users --id=id --uid=uid
php laika template:make admin/dashboard
php laika service:make --name=Mailer --class=App\\Model\\MailerModel
php laika controller:make UserController

php laika route:list
php laika pipeline:list
php laika model:list

php laika model:remove User

php laika model:rename --old=User --new=Customer
