Commandline interface in browser for Symfony2

ConsoleBundle

This bundle allows you accessing the symfony2 console via your browser.

Features

• Colored output
• Autocompletion for command names
• Local command history (localStorage)
• cache:clear works

Installation

1. Download the Bundle into vendors/bundles/CoreSphere/ConsoleBundle

2. Add this line to your autoloader

   // app/autoload.php
   $loader->registerNamespaces(array(
       'CoreSphere'          => array(__DIR__ . '/../vendor/bundles'),
   ));
   

3. Add the following route to your routing configuration

   #app/config/routing_dev.yml
   console:
       resource: "@CoreSphereConsoleBundle/Resources/config/routing.yml"
   

4. Register the bundle in you AppKernel in the development section

   // app/ApplicationKernel.php
   public function registerBundles()
   {
       $bundles = array(
           // other bundles here...
       );
   
       if (in_array($this->getEnvironment(), array('dev', 'test'))) {
           $bundles[] = new CoreSphere\ConsoleBundle\CoreSphereConsoleBundle();
       }
   
       return $bundles;
   }
   

5. The templates needs these blocks in order to render the content: javascripts, stylesheets and body. The bundle layout extends ::base.html.twig, so you can either implement these three blocks, either override CoreSphereConsoleBundle:Console:layout.html.twig.

6. jQuery is already included in CoreSphereConsoleBundle:Console:layout.html.twig, you can remove it if you do it yourself.

7. Run the assets:install command to install the css and js files

   ./app/console assets:install --symlink web
   

Usage

The default route is /console, reach it and enjoy!
