Helper
in package
uses
InstanceConfigTrait
Base class for Helpers.
Console Helpers allow you to package up reusable blocks of Console output logic. For example creating tables, progress bars or ascii art.
Table of Contents
Properties
- $_config : array<string, mixed>
- Runtime config
- $_configInitialized : bool
- Whether the config property has already been configured with defaults
- $_defaultConfig : array<string, mixed>
- Default config for this helper.
- $_io : ConsoleIo
- ConsoleIo instance.
Methods
- __construct() : mixed
- Constructor.
- configShallow() : $this
- Merge provided config with existing config. Unlike `config()` which does a recursive merge for nested keys, this method does a simple merge.
- getConfig() : mixed
- Returns the config.
- getConfigOrFail() : mixed
- Returns the config for this specific key.
- output() : void
- This method should output content using `$this->_io`.
- setConfig() : $this
- Sets the config.
- _configDelete() : void
- Deletes a single config key.
- _configRead() : mixed
- Reads a config key.
- _configWrite() : void
- Writes a config key.

Methods
__construct()
Constructor.
public
__construct(ConsoleIo $io[, array<string, mixed> $config = [] ]) : mixed
Parameters
- $io : ConsoleIo
-
The ConsoleIo instance to use.
- $config : array<string, mixed> = []
-
The settings for this helper.
configShallow()
Merge provided config with existing config. Unlike `config()` which does a recursive merge for nested keys, this method does a simple merge.
public
configShallow(array<string, mixed>|string $key[, mixed|null $value = null ]) : $this
Setting a specific value:
$this->configShallow('key', $value);
Setting a nested value:
$this->configShallow('some.nested.key', $value);
Updating multiple config settings at the same time:
$this->configShallow(['one' => 'value', 'another' => 'value']);
Parameters
- $key : array<string, mixed>|string
-
The key to set, or a complete array of configs.
- $value : mixed|null = null
-
The value to set.
Return values
$thisgetConfig()
Returns the config.
public
getConfig([string|null $key = null ][, mixed $default = null ]) : mixed
Usage
Reading the whole config:
$this->getConfig();
Reading a specific value:
$this->getConfig('key');
Reading a nested value:
$this->getConfig('some.nested.key');
Reading with default value:
$this->getConfig('some-key', 'default-value');
Parameters
- $key : string|null = null
-
The key to get or null for the whole config.
- $default : mixed = null
-
The return value when the key does not exist.
Return values
mixed —Configuration data at the named key or null if the key does not exist.
getConfigOrFail()
Returns the config for this specific key.
public
getConfigOrFail(string $key) : mixed
The config value for this key must exist, it can never be null.
Parameters
- $key : string
-
The key to get.
Tags
Return values
mixed —Configuration data at the named key
output()
This method should output content using `$this->_io`.
public
abstract output(array<string|int, mixed> $args) : void
Parameters
- $args : array<string|int, mixed>
-
The arguments for the helper.
setConfig()
Sets the config.
public
setConfig(array<string, mixed>|string $key[, mixed|null $value = null ][, bool $merge = true ]) : $this
Usage
Setting a specific value:
$this->setConfig('key', $value);
Setting a nested value:
$this->setConfig('some.nested.key', $value);
Updating multiple config settings at the same time:
$this->setConfig(['one' => 'value', 'another' => 'value']);
Parameters
- $key : array<string, mixed>|string
-
The key to set, or a complete array of configs.
- $value : mixed|null = null
-
The value to set.
- $merge : bool = true
-
Whether to recursively merge or overwrite existing config, defaults to true.
Tags
Return values

protected
_configWrite(array<string, mixed>|string $key, mixed $value[, string|bool $merge = false ]) : void
Parameters
