Laravel Console Wizard

Laravel Console WIzzard is a package for creating multi-step wizards with complex input inside the console. Its primary purpose is to collect data for file generators—here’s an example from the project’s readme:

namespace App\Console\Commands;
 
use Shomisha\LaravelConsoleWizard\Command\Wizard;
use Shomisha\LaravelConsoleWizard\Steps\ChoiceStep;
use Shomisha\LaravelConsoleWizard\Steps\TextStep;
 
class IntroductionWizard extends Wizard
{
    protected $signature = "wizard:introduction";
 
    protected $description = 'Introduction wizard.';
 
    public function getSteps(): array
    {
        return [
            'name'   => new TextStep("What's your name?"),
            'age'    => new TextStep("How old are you?"),
            'gender' => new ChoiceStep("Your gender?", ["Male", "Female"]),
        ];
    }
 
    public function completed()
    {
        $this->line(sprintf(
            "This is %s and %s is %s years old.",
            $this->answers->get('name'),
            ($this->answers->get('gender') === 'Male') ? 'he' : 'she',
            $this->answers->get('age')
        ));
    }
}

This package works by defining a set of steps and then once completed, you can process data for output, generate files, or perform whatever you need to with the data.

• TextStep – expects a text input answer (i.e., name)
• MultipleAnswerTextStep – similar to TextStep, except it takes multiple answers and returns them in an array
• ChoiceStep – this allows a user to pick one answer from multiple choices
• MultipleChoiceStep – similar to ChoiceStep, but allows the user to pick multiple choices and returns the values as an array
• UniqueMultipleChoiceStep – just like MultipleChoiceStep, but does not allow a user to select a single choice more than once
• ConfirmStep – the user confirms yes or no, and this step returns a Boolean.
