Built-in Commands

UserFrosting's CLI, or Command-line Interface, is called the Bakery. It provides a number of helpful commands that can assist you while you build, manage and install your application. To view a list of all available Bakery commands, you may use the list command from your UserFrosting root directory:

$ php bakery list

Every command also includes a "help" screen which displays and describes the command's available arguments and options. To view a help screen, simply precede the name of the command with help:

$ php bakery help [command]

General help can also be displayed by running:

$ php bakery help

Available commands

bake

Bake is the general installation command. It combines setup:db, setup:smtp, debug, migrate, create-admin and build-assets into a single command:

$ php bakery bake

build-assets

The build-assets command is an alias for the node.js scripts used for asset management. The /build directory contains the scripts and configuration files required to download Javascript, CSS, and other assets used by UserFrosting. This command will install all required build dependencies locally (e.g. Gulp and Yarn), and then automatically download frontend dependencies to /app/assets.

See the Asset Management chapter for more information about asset bundles and the compile option.

$ php bakery build-assets [options]

clear-cache

The clear-cache command takes care of deleting all the cached data. See Chapter 17 for more information.

$ php bakery clear-cache

create-admin

The create-admin command is used to create the root user. This command will self-abort if the root user already exists.

$ php bakery create-admin [options]

Options can also be used to create the admin user without interaction (See the table below for the list of available options). For example :

$ php bakery create-admin --username="admin" --email="[email protected]" --password="adminadmin12" --firstName="Admin" --lastName="istrator"

debug

The debug command will run a series of tests to make sure everything is ready to run UserFrosting on your system. If you have trouble accessing your UserFrosting installation, you should run this command first to make sure basic requirements are met.

The information displayed by this command can also be useful to other people when asking for help and submitting new issues on GitHub.

$ php bakery debug

locale:compare

This command compare two locales dictionaries. A list of all locale keys found in the left locale and not found in the right locale will be generated, as well as a list of all keys with empty values and/or duplicate values. This can be helpful to list all values in a specific languages that are present, but might need translation.

$ php bakery locale:compare [options]

This command is interactive, which mean it will ask for which locales to compare. Options can also be used to automatically compare the two locales without user interaction (See the table below for the list of available options).

This command will display :

• Comparaison between Right and Left locales : Returns al list of all differences in both locales using array_diff_assoc. This can be used to compare the two locales.
• Missing keys from Right found in Left : This can be used to see which keys are missing in the Right locale, but that can be found in the Left locale, so they can be added.
• Same values found in both Left and Right locale : This can be used to find strings in the right locale that is the same in the left locale. When two locale have the same string value, it may means the string is not translated in the right locale.
• Empty values for Right locale : List keys with empty string for the right locale. Thoses string might need to be filled in.

For example :

$ php bakery locale:compare -l en_US -r fr_FR

locale:dictionary

This command shows the compiled dictionnary for the selected locale.

$ php bakery locale:dictionary [options]

This command is interactive, which mean it will ask to select the locale to show the dictionnary from. Options can also be used to automatically select the locale without user interaction (See the table below for the list of available options).

For example :

$ php bakery locale:dictionary -l fr_FR

locale:info

This command list all available locale as well as the defaut locale.

$ php bakery locale:info

Example output :

+------------+----------------------+----------------------+---------+---------+
| Identifier | Name                 | Regional             | Parents | Default |
+------------+----------------------+----------------------+---------+---------+
| en_US      | English              | English              |         | Yes     |

+------------+----------------------+----------------------+---------+---------+

migrate

The migrate command runs all the pending database migrations. Migrations consist of special PHP classes used to manipulate the database structure and data, creating new tables or modifying existing ones. UserFrosting comes with a handful of migrations to create the default tables. The built-in migrations also handle the changes in the database between versions. See the Migrations section for more information about migrations.

$ php bakery migrate [options]

The pretend option can be used to test migrations. This will display the underlying SQL queries:

$ php bakery migrate --pretend

Result :

UserFrosting\Sprinkle\Core\Database\Migrations\v400\SessionsTable
> select * from information_schema.tables where table_schema = ? and table_name = ?
> create table `sessions` (`id` varchar(255) not null, `user_id` int null, `ip_address` varchar(45) null, `user_agent` text null, `payload` text not null, `last_activity` int not null) default character set utf8 collate utf8_unicode_ci
> alter table `sessions` add unique `sessions_id_unique`(`id`)

migrate:rollback

The migrate:rollback command allows you to cancel, or rollback, the last migration operation. For example, if something went wrong with the last migration operation or if you made a mistake in your migration definition, you can use that command to undo it.

Note that migrations are run in batches. For example, when running the migrate command, if 4 classes (or migration definitions) are executed, all 4 definitions will be reverted when rolling back the last migration operation, unless you used the step option with the migrate command.

Options can also be used to rollback more than one migration at a time or to rollback a specific migration.

$ php bakery migrate:rollback [options]

migrate:reset

The migrate:reset command is the same as the rollback command, but it will revert every migration. Without options, this is the same as wiping the database to a clean state. Use this command with caution!.

$ php bakery migrate:reset [options]

migrate:refresh

The migrate:refresh command will rollback the last migration operation and execute it again. This is the same as executing migrate:rollback and then migrate.

$ php bakery migrate:refresh [options]

migrate:status

The migrate:status command will show what migration have been run and which one can be run. It will also display if a ran migration is available, in other words if this migration class was found so it can be rolledback.

$ php bakery migrate:status [options]

route:list

Display the list of all registered routes.

$ php bakery route:list [options]

Example result:

$ php bakery route:list --uri=/account/ --method=POST --sort=action
