Laravel 5 - Creating Artisan Command for Packages

Question

I have been following along http://laravel.com/docs/5.0/commands and able to create artisan command in Laravel 5. But, how can I create artisan command and package it to package

Answer 1

In laravel 5.6 it's very easy.

class FooCommand,

this is the serviceprovider of package. (Just need to add $this->commands() part to boot function).

commands([
            \Vendor\Package\Commands\FooCommand ::class,
        ]);
    }
}

Now we can call the command like this

php artisan foo:method

This will echo 'foo' from command handle method. The important part is giving correct namespace of command file inside boot function of package service provider.
