CLI Commands

🚀 CLI Commands: The BOUNDLY Engine

BOUNDLY is driven by two main CLI commands designed to make your development process seamless and automated.

---

🛰️ core:watch

Starts the development server and automatically synchronizes the database on entity changes. This is your primary development tool.

Parameters:

• {--lang=en} - Set the CLI output language (en or es).
• {--port=8000} - Set the port for the development server.

What it does:

1. Initial Sync - Scans Domain/ and Application/ immediately on startup.
2. Auto DB Sync - Monitors for file changes. If you modify an #[Entity], core:migrate is called automatically.
3. Rest Server - Launches the API at http://127.0.0.1:8000.

php artisan core:watch --lang=es

🪄 core:migrate

The magic evolution engine. It scans your entities and translates attributes into SQL DDL commands. Zero migration files needed.

Parameters:

• {--lang=en} - Set the CLI output language (en or es).
• {--force} - Apply changes immediately to the database.
• {--dry-run} - Preview the SQL commands without applying them.

What it does:

1. Introspection - Reads the current database metadata (columns, types, indexes).
2. Diffing - Compares your #[Entity] and #[Column] attributes against the DB metadata.
3. Execution - Generates and runs ALTER TABLE or CREATE TABLE commands.

php artisan core:migrate --force
