+# Oriel console
+
+`oriel` is your app's command line. It runs the framework's commands, such as `migrate` and `make:model`, and the
+commands you write for your own app.
+
+## Introduction
+
+`oriel` is a script at the root of your app. Run it with Node, or with Bun. With no command, or with `list`, it lists
+every command it knows:
+
+```sh
+node oriel list
+bun oriel list
+```
+
+`list` takes a group's name, the part of a command's name before its `:`, to list only that group:
+
+```sh
+node oriel list make
+```
+
+Every command has a help screen, with its arguments and options. Give the command's name to `help`, or add `--help`
+(or `-h`) to the command:
+
+```sh
+node oriel help migrate
+node oriel migrate --help
+```
+
+A name `oriel` doesn't know is an error, with the names closest to it: "Command "migrat" is not defined.", then "Did
+you mean one of these?" and up to three names.
+
+On Node, the script loads your TypeScript with `tsx`, which a new app has among its dependencies; Bun runs it as it
+is. Either way, it creates your app from `bootstrap/app.ts`, boots it, runs the command, and shuts the app down,
+closing its database connections and writing out its logs, before it exits with the command's exit code.
+
+### Tinker (REPL)
+
+`tinker` opens Node's REPL with your app in it, as `app`:
+
+```sh
+node oriel tinker
+```
+
+Type JavaScript at the `oriel>` prompt, `await` included. `.exit` (or Ctrl+D) leaves it.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> Laravel's Tinker is PsySH, with your models and facades at hand and a config file of its own. Oriel's `tinker` is
+> Node's own REPL, with `app` in its context and nothing else, and it has no settings.
+
+## Available commands
+

+| `schedule:work` | Runs the tasks that are due, every minute, until you stop it |
+| `storage:link` | Links `public/storage` to `storage/app/public` |
+
+`node oriel help <command>` lists a command's options. A few that are worth knowing up front:
+
+- `make:model Flight -mcrfsa --policy` writes the model with every file it can have: its migration (`-m`), a resource
+  controller typed with the model (`-c`, `-r`), its factory (`-f`), its seeder (`-s`) and its policy (`--policy`).
+  `-a` (`--all`) asks for all of them, and for the `StoreFlightRequest` and `UpdateFlightRequest` form requests the
+  controller validates with. Short flags combine, as here.
+- `make:controller` takes `--model=Photo`, `--invokable`, `--resource`, `--api` and `--requests`:
+  [Generating controllers](controllers.md#generating-controllers) shows what each one writes. A model whose name is a
+  reserved word gets a parameter with a `Model` suffix: `--model=Case` writes `show(caseModel: Case)`.
+- `make:mail OrderShipped` writes the mailable and its view, `resources/views/mail/order-shipped.tsx`, which the
+  mailable renders as `mail.order-shipped`. `--view` names another view. A view that exists is left as it is, even
+  with `--force`.
+- `serve --watch` restarts the server when a file it runs changes. [Running your
+  application](installation.md#running-your-application) says which files those are.
+- A `make:` command doesn't replace a file that exists, unless you pass `--force`. `make:migration` writes a new file
+  every time, its name starting with the date and time.
+
+The `schedule:` commands run the tasks you schedule in `routes/console.ts`. Your server's cron calls
+`node oriel schedule:run` every minute; while you work, `node oriel schedule:work` does it for you.
+[Task scheduling](scheduling.md) covers them.
+
+## Writing commands
+
+Besides the framework's commands, you can write your own. They live in `app/Console/Commands`, where `oriel` finds
+them by itself.
+
+### Generating commands
+
+`make:command` writes a new command class in `app/Console/Commands`, and creates the folder if your app doesn't have
+it yet:
+
+```sh
+node oriel make:command SendEmails
+```
+
+The class is named as you give it. Its signature is `app:` and the class's name in kebab case, here `app:send-emails`,
+unless you pass another with `--command`:
+
+```sh
+node oriel make:command SendEmails --command=mail:send
+```
+
+### Command structure
+
+Once the command is written, set its `signature` and its `description`, which `list` and `help` show. The signature
+is the command's name and the [input it expects](#defining-input-expectations). `handle()` runs when the command is
+called.
+
+Here is a command that sends a marketing email to a user. Its work is done by a service, which `handle()` takes from
+the container with `inject()`:
+
+```ts title="app/Console/Commands/SendEmails.ts"
+// @filename: app/Support/DripEmailer.ts
+import type { User } from '../Models/User'
+export declare class DripEmailer {
+  send(user: User): Promise<void>
+}
+// ---cut---
+import { Command, inject } from '@orieljs/framework'
+import { User } from '../../Models/User'
+import { DripEmailer } from '../../Support/DripEmailer'
+
+export class SendEmails extends Command {
+  readonly signature = 'mail:send {user}'
+  override description = 'Send a marketing email to a user'
+
+  async handle(): Promise<void> {
+    const user = await User.findOrFail(this.argument('user'))
+
+    await inject(DripEmailer).send(user)
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Each run of a command has its own scope, as a request does, so `inject()`, the helpers and the facades work inside
+`handle()`, and a scoped service lasts for that one run.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> Laravel injects the services that `handle()` type-hints. TypeScript types are gone when your app runs, so Oriel
+> calls `handle()` with no arguments: take a service with `inject()` or its facade, inside `handle()`.
+
+#### Exit codes
+
+A command that returns nothing exits with `0`, which means success. Return a number to exit with another code:
+
+```ts
+export class SendEmails extends Command {
+  readonly signature = 'mail:send {user}'
+
+  handle(): number {
+    this.error('Something went wrong.')
+
+    return 1
+  }
+}
+```
+
+A command that throws exits with `1`, and `oriel` prints the error with its stack.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> Laravel's `$this->fail()` isn't in Oriel. Print the message with `this.error()` and return `1`, or throw.
+
+### Closure commands
+
+A closure command is to a command class what a route's closure is to a controller. Define them in
+`routes/console.ts` with `Artisan.command()`, which takes the signature and a function:
+
+```ts title="routes/console.ts"
+import { Artisan } from '@orieljs/framework'
+import type { CommandContext } from '@orieljs/framework/contracts'
+
+Artisan.command('mail:send {user}', function (this: CommandContext, user: unknown) {
+  this.info(`Sending email to: ${String(user)}!`)
+})
+```
+
+The function receives the command's arguments, in the order the signature lists them, and its `this` is the command,
+with a command class's methods for its input and output: `this.option()`, `this.info()`, `this.ask()` and the rest.
+Write a `function`, not an arrow function, so that `this` is the command. The arguments are typed `unknown`: an argument
+is a string, or a list of strings for an [array argument](#input-arrays).
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> Laravel matches a closure's parameters to the arguments and options by name, and injects any service it
+> type-hints. Oriel passes the arguments only, by position: read an option with `this.option()`, and a service with
+> `inject()`.
+
+#### Closure command descriptions
+
+`purpose()` gives a closure command its description, which `list` and `help` show:
+
+```ts
+Artisan.command('mail:send {user}', function (this: CommandContext, user: unknown) {
+  // ...
+}).purpose('Send a marketing email to a user')
+```
+
+### Isolatable commands
+
+Laravel's `Isolatable` commands aren't in Oriel. To keep a command from running twice at the same time, take a
+[cache lock](cache.md#atomic-locks) in its `handle()`, and return when another run holds it.
+
+## Defining input expectations
+
+The signature says what your command takes from the command line: its name, then its arguments and options, each in
+braces.
+
+### Arguments
+
+This command takes one required argument, `user`:
+
+```ts
+export class SendEmails extends Command {
+  readonly signature = 'mail:send {user}'
+
+  handle(): void {
+    // ...
+  }
+}
+```
+
+A `?` makes an argument optional, and `=` gives it a default:
+
+```text
+mail:send {user?}
+mail:send {user=foo}
+```
+
+Run without a required argument, the command stops before `handle()`, with "Not enough arguments (missing:
+"user")." and exit code `1`.
+
+### Options
+
+An option is passed with two hyphens. One without a value is a switch: it is `true` when it is passed and `false`
+when it isn't.
+
+```text
+mail:send {user} {--queue}
+```
+
+```sh
+node oriel mail:send 1 --queue
+```
+
+#### Options with values
+
+An `=` after the name makes an option take a value. When it isn't passed, it is `undefined`:
+
+```text
+mail:send {user} {--queue=}
+```
+
+```sh
+node oriel mail:send 1 --queue=default
+node oriel mail:send 1 --queue default
+```
+
+A value after the `=` is the default, used when the option isn't passed:
+
+```text
+mail:send {user} {--queue=default}
+```
+
+#### Option shortcuts
+
+A letter and a `|` before the name give an option a shortcut, passed with one hyphen. The value follows the letter,
+with no `=`:
+
+```text
+mail:send {user} {--Q|queue=}
+```
+
+```sh
+node oriel mail:send 1 -Qdefault
+```
+
+Switch shortcuts combine: `-mfs` is `-m -f -s`.
+
+An option the signature doesn't declare is an error: "The "--bogus" option does not exist.".
+
+### Input arrays
+
+A `*` makes an argument take every value that follows it, as a list, so put it last:
+
+```text
+mail:send {user*}
+```
+
+```sh
+node oriel mail:send 1 2
+```
+
+Here `user` is `['1', '2']`. With `?*`, the list may be empty:
+
+```text
+mail:send {user?*}
+```
+
+#### Option arrays
+
+An option that takes several values is declared with `=*`. Pass it once for each value:
+
+```text
+mail:send {--id=*}
+```
+
+```sh
+node oriel mail:send --id=1 --id=2
+```
+
+When it isn't passed, it is an empty list.
+
+### Input descriptions
+
+Describe an argument or an option after a colon, with a space on each side. `help` shows the descriptions. A
+signature can run over several lines:
+
+```ts
+export class SendEmails extends Command {
+  readonly signature = `mail:send
+    {user : The ID of the user}
+    {--queue : Whether the job should be queued}`
+
+  handle(): void {
+    // ...
+  }
+}
+```
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> Laravel can prompt for a missing required argument (`PromptsForMissingInput`). Oriel stops with an error instead:
+> ask for it with [`ask()`](#prompting-for-input) when an optional argument is missing.
+
+## Command I/O
+
+### Retrieving input
+
+`argument()` and `option()` read the command's input. `arguments()` and `options()` return all of them:
+
+```ts
+declare const command: Command
+// ---cut---
+const userId = command.argument('user')
+
+const all = command.arguments()
+
+const queueName = command.option('queue')
+
+const options = command.options()
+```
+
+Arguments and option values are strings, as they arrive from the command line: `--tries=3` is `'3'`, so convert a
+number with `Number()`. An argument is a string, a list for an array argument, or `undefined` when an optional one is
+missing. An option is `true` or `false` for a switch, a string or `undefined` for an option with a value, and a list
+for an option array. An argument or an option that the signature doesn't declare is `undefined`.
+
+### Prompting for input
+
+`ask()` asks a question and returns the answer. A second argument is the default, shown in parentheses and returned
+when the answer is empty:
+
+```ts
+declare const command: Command
+// ---cut---
+const name = await command.ask('What is your name?')
+
+const nameOrDefault = await command.ask('What is your name?', 'Taylor')
+```
+
+`secret()` asks for a password or another secret:
+
+```ts
+declare const command: Command
+// ---cut---
+const password = await command.secret('What is the password?')
+```
+
+> [!WARNING]
+> Laravel hides what the user types for `secret()`. Oriel's `secret()` reads the answer as `ask()` does, and the
+> terminal shows it as it is typed.
+
+#### Asking for confirmation
+
+`confirm()` asks a yes or no question. It returns `true` when the answer is `y` or `yes`, in any case, and `false`
+for any other answer:
+
+```ts
+declare const command: Command
+// ---cut---
+if (await command.confirm('Do you wish to continue?')) {
+  // ...
+}
+```
+
+An empty answer gives the default, `false` unless you pass `true`:
+
+```ts
+declare const command: Command
+// ---cut---
+if (await command.confirm('Do you wish to continue?', true)) {
+  // ...
+}
+```
+
+#### Multiple choice questions
+
+`choice()` lists the choices, numbered from 0, and returns the one picked by its number or its text. The third
+argument is the index of the default, returned for an empty answer:
+
+```ts
+declare const command: Command
+// ---cut---
+const name = await command.choice('What is your name?', ['Taylor', 'Dayle'], 0)
+```
+
+An answer that is neither stops the command, with ""Tom" is not a valid choice." and exit code `1`.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> Laravel's `choice()` asks again after a wrong answer, and can take several answers; `anticipate()`, which suggests
+> answers as you type, and Laravel Prompts aren't in Oriel.
+
+### Writing output
+
+`info()`, `comment()` and `line()` print a line to the standard output, and `warn()` and `error()` print one to the
+standard error. `newLine()` prints a blank line, or as many as you ask for:
+
+```ts
+declare const command: Command
+// ---cut---
+command.info('The command was successful!')
+
+command.error('Something went wrong!')
+
+command.line('Display this on the screen')
+
+command.newLine()
+command.newLine(3)
+```
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> Laravel prints each kind of message in its own colour. Oriel prints them as plain text; `warn()` and `error()` go to
+> the standard error, so a script that runs your command can tell them apart.
+
+#### Tables
+
+`table()` takes the column headings and the rows, each a list of strings, and sizes the columns to fit. The rows are
+a plain array, so end a collection's `map()` with `all()`:
+
+```ts title="app/Console/Commands/ListUsers.ts"
+import { Command } from '@orieljs/framework'
+import { User } from '../../Models/User'
+
+export class ListUsers extends Command {
+  readonly signature = 'users:list'
+  override description = 'List the users'
+
+  async handle(): Promise<void> {
+    const users = await User.all()
+
+    this.table(
+      ['Name', 'Email'],
+      users.map((user) => [user.name, user.email]).all(),
+    )
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Laravel's progress bars aren't in Oriel.
+
+## Registering commands
+
+`oriel` registers every command class in `app/Console/Commands` and its subfolders: each exported class with a
+`handle()` method and a `signature`. It then loads `routes/console.ts`, the file that `withRouting()` names as
+`console` in `bootstrap/app.ts`, which defines your closure commands.
+
+A command elsewhere is registered with `Artisan.register()`, in `routes/console.ts` or in a service provider's
+`boot()`:
+
+```ts title="routes/console.ts"
+// @filename: app/Domain/Orders/Commands/SendEmails.ts
+import { Command } from '@orieljs/framework'
+export class SendEmails extends Command {
+  readonly signature = 'orders:send-emails'
+  handle(): void {}
+}
+// ---cut---
+import { Artisan } from '@orieljs/framework'
+import { SendEmails } from '../app/Domain/Orders/Commands/SendEmails'
+
+Artisan.register(SendEmails)
+```
+
+A command class has no constructor arguments: `oriel` makes it with `new`. Two commands with the same name are one
+command, the one registered last, so a command of yours can take the place of one of the framework's.
+
+> [!WARNING]
+> Your commands in `app/Console/Commands` and `routes/console.ts` are loaded only when your app runs in the console:
+> under `oriel`, which `node oriel serve` is too, and in your tests. An app served by `public/index.ts` doesn't load
+> them, so `Artisan.call()` from one of its routes can't find them. A command registered in a service provider's
+> `boot()` is there in both.
+
+## Programmatically executing commands
+
+`Artisan.call()` runs a command from your code, such as a route or a job. It takes the command's name and its
+arguments and options, with each option's name written with its `--`, and returns the exit code:
+
+```ts title="routes/web.ts"
+import { Artisan, Route } from '@orieljs/framework'
+
+Route.post('/user/{user}/mail', async (user: string) => {
+  const exitCode = await Artisan.call('mail:send', { user, '--queue': 'default' })
+
+  return { exitCode, output: Artisan.output() }
+})
+```
+
+The command's output isn't printed: `Artisan.output()` returns what the last call printed, the standard output then
+the standard error. A command that throws makes `Artisan.call()` throw, and so does a name that no command has.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> Laravel's `Artisan::call()` also takes the whole command as one string, `'mail:send 1 --queue=default'`. Oriel's
+> takes the name only, with the input as an object. `Artisan::queue()` isn't in Oriel: dispatch a
+> [job](queues.md) that calls the command.
+
+A command run by `Artisan.call()` has no one to answer its questions: `ask()`, `confirm()` and the others throw.
+
+#### Passing array values
+
+An option array or an array argument takes a list:
+
+```ts
+await Artisan.call('mail:send', { '--id': [5, 13] })
+```
+
+#### Passing boolean values
+
+A switch takes `true` to pass it. `false` leaves it off:
+
+```ts
+await Artisan.call('migrate:refresh', { '--force': true })
+```
+
+### Calling commands from other commands
+
+Inside a command class, `this.call()` runs another command. Its output goes to your command's output, and it returns
+the exit code:
+
+```ts title="app/Console/Commands/SendEmails.ts"
+import { Command } from '@orieljs/framework'
+
+export class SendEmails extends Command {
+  readonly signature = 'mail:send {user} {--queue=}'
+
+  async handle(): Promise<void> {
+    await this.call('mail:send-receipt', { user: this.argument('user'), '--queue': 'default' })
+  }
+}
+```
+
+> [!WARNING]
+> `this.call()` with a name that no command has does nothing, and returns `undefined`. Laravel throws there. It lets
+> a command call another that a part of the framework your app may not use would register, as `make:model -m` calls
+> `make:migration`.
+
+Laravel's `callSilently()` isn't in Oriel: call `Artisan.call()`, whose output isn't printed.
+
+## Testing commands
+
+Your feature tests run a command with `artisan()`, and check its output and its exit code. Await the result: the
+command runs then, and not before.
+
+```ts title="tests/Feature/SendEmails.test.ts"
+// @filename: tests/TestCase.ts
+import { TestCase as BaseTestCase } from '@orieljs/framework/testing'
+export class TestCase extends BaseTestCase {}
+// ---cut---
+import { test } from 'vitest'
+import { TestCase } from '../TestCase'
+
+const t = TestCase.boot()
+
+test('the mail is sent', async () => {
+  await t.artisan('mail:send', { user: 1 }).expectsOutput('Sending email to: 1!').assertExitCode(0)
+})
+```
+
+`expectsOutput()` wants a line of the output to equal its text, and `expectsOutputToContain()` the output to contain
+it; `doesntExpectOutput()` and `doesntExpectOutputToContain()` want the opposite. `assertSuccessful()` and
+`assertFailed()` check the exit code is `0`, or isn't.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> Laravel's `expectsQuestion()` and `expectsConfirmation()` aren't in Oriel: a command that asks a question fails in
+> a test. Give it the answer as an argument or an option instead.
+
+The [Testing](testing.md) pages cover the rest.
