README

Your REPL for Kirby CMS projects

Ever wanted to experiment with your Kirby project on the fly, right from the command line? With Kirby Console, you can inspect and alter your project data instantly, no need to query the website!

Installation

The easiest way to get started is by installing Kirby Console globally with composer:

$ composer global require pstaender/kirby-console

Usage

Jump into your Kirby project folder and run:

$ kconsole

You’ll be greeted with something like:

Psy Shell v0.12.4 (PHP 8.2.22 — cli) by Justin Hileman
Kirby v4.1.0
>>>

Work with kirby(), page() and site() as you used to know:

>>> kirby()->version()
=> "4.1.0"

Impersonate

Need to work as a specific user? Pass the user’s email as the first argument (handy for permission-restricted tasks like editing):

$ kconsole kirby
Psy Shell v0.12.4 (PHP 8.2.22 — cli) by Justin Hileman
Kirby v4.1.0 – kirby@getkirby.com
>>> kirby()->user()->email()
=> "kirby@getkirby.com"

Troubleshooting

Can't get kconsole to start (can happen und not-bash-supporting-systems like windows etc)? Try kirbyconsole instead.

kconsole is a bash script wrapper to allow to restart the whole REPL. (You can read here why I had to build that workaround).
