Matthias Noback:
Introducing the SymfonyConsoleForm package
Jan 20, 2017 @ 17:12:51

In a new post to his site Matthias Noback introduces you to a package that can help you in your Symfony-based console application, combining the Form and Console components, to make it easier to create "forms" on the CLI.

About 2 years ago I created a package that combines the power of two famous Symfony components: the Form component and the Console component. In short: this package allows you to interactively fill in a form by typing in the answers at the CLI. When I started working on it, this seemed like a pretty far-fetched idea. However, it made a lot of sense to me in terms of a the package in use, building a "form" that just asks the user to input a name. An image of the result is included as well. He ends the post with some of his other general findings during the process of creating the package and suggests a few common use cases including installation wizards that can be used in both the CLI and web interfaces.
