Command Line Interface¶

Group Office also has a Command Line Interface. To implement this do the following:

Create a controller that extends the abstract controller in folder ‘go/modules/tutorial/music/cli/controller’:

<?php

namespace go\modules\tutorial\music\cli\controller;

use go\core\Controller;

class CliDemo extends Controller {
  public function hello($name = "World") {
    echo "Hello $name!\n";
  }
}

Run (Notice the path is case sensitive!):

sudo -u www-data php /usr/share/groupoffice/cli.php tutorial/music/CliDemo/hello --name=Merijn

or with docker-compose:

docker-compose exec --user www-data groupoffice-master php /usr/local/share/groupoffice/cli.php tutorial/music/CliDemo/hello --name=Merijn

This should output:
```
Hello Merijn!
```

Note

Command line methods always run as the administrator user so you should probably need to sudo into the web user (www-data)

Specify config file¶

If you have a multi instance environment you can specify the config file location with the ‘c’ argument:

php /usr/share/groupoffice/cli.php tutorial/music/CliDemo/hello --name=Merijn -c=/etc/groupoffice/multi_instance/domain.com/config.php
