Creating and using Laravel 4 commands

Question

EDIT: Figured out where I was going wrong and placed an answer at the end

I\'m trying to create a Laravel Command, I can see it\'s changed considerably from \"tasks\" in

Answer 1

there's a mis-understanding on Artisan commands because of the used wording.

In your case you choose : 'command:import' as a name of one of your 'Import' commands.

Think about it as an object, with methods.

If "Import" has many commands:

you can use as command name > protected $name = 'import:csv';

another command would be > protected $name = 'import:txt';

and > protected $name = 'import:contacts';

so your commands with "Import" nature are better organised.

and when you request , you see your commands organised as a single entity.

If not,

and you have only a single command then give your command a single clear name. protected $name = 'import';
