Console

Consoles are scripts that start the application in background mode (without view and template). They are very used to cron sites

Defining a console route

Similar with a normal route, console route is defined in Bootstrap file:

namespace App;

class Bootstrap extends \Core\Bootstrap
{

    public function setConsoles()
    {
        return array(
            array('watch_price', '\Controllers\Hello@watchPrice'),
            array('update', '\Controllers\Hello@update'),
        );
    }
}

And in controller:

public function watchPriceAction()
{
    // Business logic

    echo "Done!\r\n";
}

public function updateAction()
{
    // Business logic

    echo "Updated!\r\n";
}

Create the script

All scripts would need to stay in /scripts folder.
An example of script:

// Autoload files using Composer autoload
require_once __DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php';
$app = new \Core\Crater($argv);
$app->run();

Execute your script

Write in console:

$ cd /var/www/crater/scripts
$ php console.php update
