README

Creating a new console action can be overkill from time to time. Sometimes we just want to run a simple script on our magento application for example to test some code or run a one time action.

This package allows you to run actions on your magento installation like we did on magento 1.

Install

Install the package

composer require j-stam/magento2-shell:*

Copy the shell folder from this package to your magento 2 root

Usage

Set Area code

The area code defaults to global. To use a different area code you can set it by overwriting the protected $appAreaCode; in your shell script

The following areas can be set:

• \Magento\Framework\App\Area::AREA_GLOBAL or 'global'
• \Magento\Framework\App\Area::AREA_FRONTEND or 'frontend'
• \Magento\Framework\App\Area::AREA_ADMINHTML or 'adminhtml'
• \Magento\Framework\App\Area::AREA_DOC or 'doc'
• \Magento\Framework\App\Area::AREA_CRONTAB or 'crontab'
• \Magento\Framework\App\Area::AREA_WEBAPI_REST or 'webapi_rest'
• \Magento\Framework\App\Area::AREA_WEBAPI_SOAP or 'webapi_soap'
• \Magento\Framework\App\Area::AREA_GRAPHQL or 'graphql'

Set Is Secure

Some magento actions for instance removing products are required to be executed in a secure area next to being executed in the adminhtml area. Use protected function setIsSecureArea($isSecure) to set wether the current area is secure or not.

Instantiate object

• Create a instance: public function createInstance($type, array $arguments = [])
• Get a instance: public function getInstance($type)
• Get the object manager: public function getObjectManager()

Use dependency injection.

The dependency injection uses the public function getInstance($type) to load your dependency. If you want to create a new instance, inject a factory for the object you are trying to create and use its create method or use the createInstance method instead of dependency injection

protected function di(
    \Magento\Catalog\Model\Product $product
) {
    $this->product = $product;
}

Export data to csv, xml, json

$this->io->writeJson($data, 'filename.json')

Read data from csv, xml, json

$this->io->readJson('filename.json')

Excecute sql querys

You can run sql queries with the standard \Magento\Framework\DB\Adapter\AdapterInterface

$sql = 'SELECT * FROM your_table LIMIT 1';
$result = $this->connection->fetchAll($sql);
// or
$query = $this->connection->query('SELECT * FROM your_table LIMIT 1');
$result = $query->fetchAll();

Write output to a log file

You can write output to a log file using monologger. To set your log file name overwrite the protected $logFileName. When this variable is not set, your class name will be converted from PascalCase to lowercase seperated with dashes.

To write output to your log use the protected $logger

$this->logger->error('Your error message');
$this->logger->info('Your info message');
...

All log files are placed in {magento_root}/var/log/shell/ by default. To specify your own log file path overwrite the protected $logFilePath variable.

Write output to terminal

Available in the shell is the symfony console output class. This can be used directly by accessing the protected $consoleOutput. Or if you just want to write (a line) you can use the public functions write($messages, $newLine = true, $options = OutputInterface::OUTPUT_NORMAL) and writeln($message, $options = OutputInterface::OUTPUT_NORMAL)

$this->writeln('Your line');
$this->write('Your message')
$this->write(['Your message', 'Your other message'])

Example script

<?php

require_once realpath(dirname(__FILE__) . '/../app/bootstrap.php');

class Example extends \Stam\Shell\ShellAbstract
{
    protected $product;

    /**
     * Optional function, can be used for dependency injection
     */
    protected function di(
        \Magento\Catalog\Model\Product $product
    ) {
        $this->product = $product;
    }

    public function run()
    {
        $this->writeln('Hello world!');
        $this->logger->debug('Hello world!');
    }
}
$shell = new Example();
$shell->run();
