Artisan command parameters

When creating Artisan command, you can ask the input in variety of ways: $this->confirm(), $this->anticipate(), $this->choice().

// Yes or no?if ($this->confirm('Do you wish to continue?')) { //}// Open question with auto-complete options$name = $this->anticipate('What is your name?', ['Taylor', 'Dayle']);// One of the listed options with default index$name = $this->choice('What is your name?', ['Taylor', 'Dayle'], $defaultIndex);

Maintenance Mode

If you want to enable maintenance mode on your page, execute the down Artisan command:

php artisan down

Then people would see default 503 status page.

You may also provide flags, in Laravel 8:

• the path the user should be redirected to
• the view that should be prerendered
• secret phrase to bypass maintenance mode
• status code during maintenance mode
• retry page reload every X seconds

php artisan down --redirect="/" --render="errors::503" --secret="1630542a-246b-4b66-afa1-dd72a4c43515" --status=200 --retry=60

Before Laravel 8:

• message that would be shown
• retry page reload every X seconds
• still allow the access to some IP address

php artisan down --message="Upgrading Database" --retry=60 --allow=127.0.0.1

When you've done the maintenance work, just run:

php artisan up

Artisan command help

To check the options of artisan command, Run artisan commands with --help flag. For example, php artisan make:model --help and see how many options you have:

Options: -a, --all Generate a migration, seeder, factory, and resource controller for the model -c, --controller Create a new controller for the model -f, --factory Create a new factory for the model --force Create the class even if the model already exists -m, --migration Create a new migration file for the model -s, --seed Create a new seeder file for the model -p, --pivot Indicates if the generated model should be a custom intermediate table model -r, --resource Indicates if the generated controller should be a resource controller --api Indicates if the generated controller should be an API controller -h, --help Display this help message -q, --quiet Do not output any message -V, --version Display this application version --ansi Force ANSI output --no-ansi Disable ANSI output -n, --no-interaction Do not ask any interactive question --env[=ENV] The environment the command should run under -v|vv|vvv, --verbose Increase the verbosity of messages: 1 for normal output, 2 for more verbose output and 3 for debug

Launch Artisan command from anywhere

If you have an Artisan command, you can launch it not only from Terminal, but also from anywhere in your code, with parameters. Use Artisan::call() method:

Route::get('/foo', function () { $exitCode = Artisan::call('email:send', [ 'user' => 1, '--queue' => 'default' ]); //});

Hide your custom command

If you don't want to show a specific command on the artisan command list, set hidden property to true

class SendMail extends Command{ protected $signature = 'send:mail'; protected $hidden = true;}

You won't see send:mail on the available commands if you typed php artisan
