Console Events for Laravel Commands

What is it?

This package allows you to have events triggered by your Artisan Commands. The events available are:

Bmitch\ConsoleEvents\Events\CommandStarting Triggered when an Artisan Command is starting.

Bmitch\ConsoleEvents\Events\CommandTerminating Triggered when an Artisan Command is terminating.

Why use it?

The main reason I created this package was for a use case where multiple commands were executed nightly and I wanted an easy way to log when they started and stopped. By hooking into these events it makes it easy.

How to Install

Add to composer

composer require bmitch/consoleevents

Modify commands to extend custom class

In any command that you wish to trigger these events simply replace the:

use Illuminate\Console\Command;

with

use Bmitch\ConsoleEvents\Command;

Create and Register Listeners

Create two listeners within the app/Listeners folder like this:

<?php

namespace App\Listeners;

use Log;
use Bmitch\ConsoleEvents\Events\CommandStarting;

class CommandStartingListener
{
    /**
     * Handle the event.
     *
     * @param  CommandStarting  $commandStartingEvent
     * @return void
     */
    public function handle(CommandStarting $commandStartingEvent)
    {
        $name = $commandStartingEvent->command->getName();
        Log::info("Command {$name} starting");
    }
}

<?php

namespace App\Listeners;

use Log;
use Bmitch\ConsoleEvents\Events\CommandTerminating;

class CommandTerminatingListener
{
    /**
     * Handle the event.
     *
     * @param  CommandTerminating  $commandTerminatingEvent
     * @return void
     */
    public function handle(CommandTerminating $commandTerminatingEvent)
    {
        $command = $commandTerminatingEvent->command;
        $name = $command->getName();

        Log::info("Command {$name} stopping", [
            'commandName' => $name,
            'executionTime' => $command->getExecutionTime(),
            'exitCode' => $commandTerminatingEvent->exitCode,
        ]);
    }
}

Then register it within the app\Providers\EventServiceProvider.php class:

/**
 * The event listener mappings for the application.
 *
 * @var array
 */
protected $listen = [
    'Bmitch\ConsoleEvents\Events\CommandStarting' => [
        'App\Listeners\CommandStartingListener',
    ],
    'Bmitch\ConsoleEvents\Events\CommandTerminating' => [
        'App\Listeners\CommandTerminatingListener',
    ],
];

Seeing the results

Run your command and check laravel.log. You should see an entry that was triggered by the CommandStartingListener.

Something like:

[2016-12-02 00:16:11] local.INFO: Command foo:bar starting  
[2016-12-02 00:16:11] local.INFO: Command foo:bar stopping {"commandName":"foo:bar","executionTime":0.005375862121582,"exitCode":0} 

Additional Methods

The Bmitch\ConsoleEvents\Command class automatically tracks how long it takes to execute and provides a getExecutionTime() method to make it easy to add this data when Logging data.
