Laravel Artisan
Laravel Artisan is a command line application that allows for running commands that help with the management of a Laravel application.
See the Laravel documentation for further details.
Most of the in-built commands currently have little relevance for use in a Zen Cart application, although that may change over time.
You can run the artisan command by changing into the laravel directory
and running the ./artisan command
This will list all of the commands available.
For Zen Cart, we have added the following command(s).
zencart:convertdefines
zencart:convertdefines command
The zencart:convertdefines command is used to convert legacy language files into the new php array format.
The command accepts the following options
--file
--dir
--config
At least one of --file, --dir, --config must be set.
–file
This option accepts the path to a single file.
e.g admin/includes/languages/english/index.php
and will convert that file to
admin/includes/languages/english/lang.index.php
–dir
This option accepts the path to a directory.
It will attempt to convert all files within the directory renaming files with a lang. prefix.
–config
This option accepts the path to a file containing an array definition used to decide which files to convert.
The config file is an array return file, so should look like
<?php
return [];
The array can have 2 root elements, files and directories
files is a list of files to convert, and similarly directories is a list of directories to convert.
e.g.
<?php
return [
'files' => ['file1.php', 'file2.php],
'directories' => ['dir1', 'dir2']
];
