CLI library : be able to print arrays or objects - Fred9176 - 12-04-2023
Hi,
Would it be possible to add the equivalent of print_r or var_dump to the CLI librayy ?
Actually, it only allows strings as input and this will also permit to display arrays and objects.
Thank you,
Fred

Use dd()

or d()

Thank you, I didn't know this one for CI ;-)

I noted something strange : if I use print_r or d() between CLI:write commands, the result of these 2 commands are all written after all the CLI:write commands returns.
For example, the following code:
PHP Code:
CLI::write('before');
print_r('print_r command');
d('d command');
CLI::write('after');
Will render :
Code:
before
sh: tput: not found
after
print_r command
┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
string (9) "d command"

Called from .../modules/Electricite/Models/ReleveModel.php:37 [d()]I created a custom library to add print_r et var_dump to CLI :
PHP Code:
<?php
namespace App\Libraries;
use CodeIgniter\CLI\CLI as BaseCLI;
class CLI extends BaseCLI
{
/**
* Outputs result of print_r to the cli on its own line.
*
* @return void
*/
public static function print_r($data, ?string $foreground = null, ?string $background = null)
{
$toPrint = print_r($data, TRUE);
CLI::write($toPrint, $foreground, $background);
}
/**
* Outputs result of vaar_dump to the cli on its own line.
*
* @return void
*/
public static function var_dump($data, ?string $foreground = null, ?string $background = null)
{
ob_start();
var_dump($data);
$toPrint = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
CLI::write($toPrint, $foreground, $background);
}
}
