Laravel Artisan, Erm...

Are you tired of trying to call an Artisan command and endup with this result?

Command "migrate:make" is not defined.
Did you mean one of these?
    migrate
    migrate:fresh
    migrate:install

To make your life easier, Erm...better install this package.

Instalation

You can install the package via composer:

>_ composer require caneco/artisan-erm

Registering the service provider

In Laravel 5.5 the service provider will automatically get registered. But if needed just add the service provider in config/app.php file:

'providers' => [
    // ...
    Caneco\ArtisanErm\ArtisanErmServiceProvider::class,
];

Publishing the configuration file

To publish configuration file execute the following command and pick the package Service Provider:

>_ php artisan vendor:publish

 Which provider or tag's files would you like to publish?:
  [0 ] Publish files from all providers and tags listed below
  [1 ] Provider: Caneco\ArtisanErm\ArtisanErmServiceProvider
  [… ] ...

Or do it in a single command:

>_ php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Caneco\ArtisanErm\ArtisanErmServiceProvider"

When published, you will have a config file with the list of Erm...commands avaiable:

return [

  'list' => [
    /*
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    | Erm...this is the awkward list of Cache commands
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    */
    'cache' => [
      'clear'  => 'Flush the application cache',
      'forget' => 'Remove an item from the cache',
      'table'  => 'Create a migration for the cache database table',
    ],

    // ...
];

Usage

After the initial setup. Erm...commands are ready to use right from your Laravel artisan command.

$ php artisan list
...
Available commands:
  clear-compiled       Remove the compiled class file
  down                 Put the application into maintenance mode
  ...
  erm
   erm:cache           Erm...show all the commands in the `cache` namespace.
   erm:config          Erm...show all the commands in the `config` namespace.
   erm:make            Erm...show all the commands in the `make` namespace.
   erm:migrate         Erm...show all the commands in the `migrate` namespace.
   erm:queue           Erm...show all the commands in the `queue` namespace.
   erm:route           Erm...show all the commands in the `route` namespace.
   erm:schedule        Erm...show all the commands in the `schedule` namespace.
   erm:view            Erm...show all the commands in the `view` namespace.
  ...

Then you can call any Erm...commands and all the available choices will be presented for you to choose.

$ php artisan erm:cache

 Erm...which command would you like to call:
  [0] artisan cache:clear    Flush the application cache
  [1] artisan cache:forget   Remove an item from the cache
  [2] artisan cache:table    Create a migration for the cache database table
 >
...

Or you can directly call the main Erm...command and it will awkwardly list top commands.

$ php artisan erm

 Erm...which command would you like to call:
  [0] artisan cache:_
  [1] artisan config:_
  [2] artisan migrate:_

With this, it's a walk in the park to call any ambiguous command.

Discover new namespaces

By default the listed Erm...commands will be according to a fresh new Laravel app.

But if your current application already other big command namespaces like horizon: you can rebuild the list using the following option:

$ php artisan erm --discover

Erm...will check the list of Artisan commands in your Laravel application and map a new erm.php config according to that.

The next time you call the base Erm...command the new options will be available.

$ php artisan erm

 Erm...which command would you like to call?:
  [0] artisan cache:_
  [1] artisan horizon:_
  […]

What is Erm?

According to the Urban Dictionary, the term "Erm" it's a word used commonly to fill awkward space in conversations. It felt right since you can end up with some awkwardly results with Artisan.

Gotchas ⚠️

Only the options that have more than 1 (one) namespace will be listed
After you rebuild the list from artisan erm --discover the erm.php config it's not going to be that pretty anymore.
