Registering Commands Automatically

To make the console commands available automatically within a Drupal installation, you will need to:

• Create a Command directory inside your module i.e. src/Command and create a PHP file suffixed with Command.php i.e. MyCustomCommand.php for each command that you want to provide.

• Make sure you class extends one of Command or ContainerAwareCommand classes.

Drupal Console provides two types of commands, stand alone and container aware commands.

Stand alone commands

These commands are listed and can run outside of a Drupal installation, you defined one by extending the Command class.

use Drupal\Console\Command\Command;

class MyStandAloneCommand extends Command
{
}

Container aware commands

These commands are listed and must be run against a Drupal, you defined one by extending the ContainerAwareCommand class.

use Drupal\Console\Command\ContainerAwareCommand;

class MyContainerAwareCommand extends ContainerAwareCommand
{
}
