Installation

Using composer

# For the latest released version
composer global require biblibre/omeka-cli

# For the latest dev version
composer global require biblibre/omeka-cli:@dev

Then add ~/.config/composer/vendor/bin to your PATH

export PATH=~/.config/composer/vendor/bin:$PATH

Using the phar

Download the latest ̀omeka-cli.phar from Releases page.

wget https://github.com/biblibre/omeka-cli/releases/download/$VERSION/omeka-cli.phar
chmod +x omeka-cli.phar
sudo mv omeka-cli.phar /usr/local/bin/omeka-cli

Using the sources

git clone https://github.com/biblibre/omeka-cli.git
cd omeka-cli
composer install --no-dev
bin/omeka-cli --version

Creating custom commands

To create a custom command named foo:bar with the Foo plugin, put the following code in the initialize hook of your plugin's main class:

$events = Zend_EventManager_StaticEventManager::getInstance();
$events->attach('OmekaCli', 'commands', function() {
    return array(
        'Foo_Bar',
    );
});

and define a class Foo_Bar which extends OmekaCli\Command\AbstractCommand

You will have to implements at least configure and execute methods.

For instance:

use OmekaCli\Command\AbstractCommand;
use Symfony\Component\Console\Input\InputInterface;
use Symfony\Component\Console\Output\OutputInterface;

class Foo_Bar extends AbstractCommand
{
    protected function configure()
    {
        $this->setName('foo:bar');
        $this->setDescription('print something to stdout');
        $this->setAliases(array('bar'));
    }

    protected function execute(InputInterface $input, OutputInterface $output)
    {
        $output->writeln('Hello, omeka-cli!');

        return 0;
    }
}

Then you will be able to run the command either this way:

omeka-cli foo:bar [OPTION...] [ARG...]

or using the alias:

omeka-cli bar [OPTION...] [ARG...]

To see how to create a custom command from a plugin in practice, see plugin Foo.

Running tests

If you want to test omeka-cli, copy phpunit.xml.dist into phpunit.xml and change environment variables OMEKA_DB_* as needed. If you want to avoid downloading Omeka before every run, you can download the ZIP file manually, and put its local path in OMEKA_ZIP_PATH.

After you've done that, run

composer install
vendor/bin/phpunit
