About Laravel Console Menu

Laravel Console Menu was created by, and is maintained by Nuno Maduro, and is a php-school/cli-menu wrapper for Laravel Console Commands.

Installation

Requires PHP 8.1+

Require Laravel Console Menu using Composer:

composer require nunomaduro/laravel-console-menu

Usage

Quick Setup

class MenuCommand extends Command
{
    /**
     * Execute the console command.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function handle()
    {
        $option = $this->menu('Pizza menu', [
            'Freshly baked muffins',
            'Freshly baked croissants',
            'Turnovers, crumb cake, cinnamon buns, scones',
        ])->open();

        $this->info("You have chosen the option number #$option");
    }
}

Setup with a question

class MenuCommand extends Command
{
    /**
     * Execute the console command.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function handle()
    {
        $option = $this->menu('Pizza menu')
                    ->addOption('mozzarella', 'Mozzarella')
                    ->addOption('chicken_parm', 'Chicken Parm')
                    ->addOption('sausage', 'Sausage')
                    ->addQuestion('Make your own', 'Describe your pizza...')
                    ->addOption('burger', 'Prefer burgers')
                    ->setWidth(80)
                    ->open();
        
        $this->info("You have chosen the text option: $option");
    }
}

Setup with advanced option, in this case, a password

class MenuCommand extends Command
{
    /**
     * Execute the console command.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function handle()
    {
        $menu = $this->menu('Pizza menu')
                    ->addOption('mozzarella', 'Mozzarella')
                    ->addOption('chicken_parm', 'Chicken Parm')
                    ->addOption('sausage', 'Sausage')
                    ->addQuestion('Make your own', 'Describe your pizza...');
        
        $itemCallable = function (CliMenu $cliMenu) use ($menu) {
            $cliMenu->askPassword()
                ->setValidator(function ($password) {
                    return $password === 'secret';
                })
                ->setPromptText('Secret password?')
                ->ask();

            $menu->setResult('Free spice!');

            $cliMenu->close();
        };
        $menu->addItem('Add extra spice for free (password needed)', $itemCallable);


        $option = $menu->addOption('burger', 'Prefer burgers')
            ->setWidth(80)
            ->open();

        $this->info("You have chosen the text option: $option");
    }
}

Appearance

  $this->menu($title, $options)
      ->setForegroundColour('green')
      ->setBackgroundColour('black')
      ->setWidth(200)
