How to Hide Console Commands
How to Hide Console CommandsΒΆ
By default, all console commands are listed when executing the console application
script without arguments or when using the list command.
However, sometimes commands are not intended to be executed by end-users; for example, commands for the legacy parts of the application, commands exclusively executed through scheduled tasks, etc.
In those cases, you can define the command as hidden by setting the
setHidden() method to true in the command configuration:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 | // src/AppBundle/Command/LegacyCommand.php
namespace AppBundle\Command;
use Symfony\Component\Console\Command\Command;
class LegacyCommand extends Command
{
protected static $defaultName = 'app:legacy';
protected function configure()
{
$this
->setHidden(true)
// ...
;
}
}
|
Hidden commands behave the same as normal commands but they are no longer displayed in command listings, so end-users are not aware of their existence.
Note
Hidden commands are still available using the JSON or XML descriptor.
