wire-cli is a CLI (Command-Line Interface) tool designed to provide ease of use and efficiency for ProcessWire developers. With wire-cli, you can automate common tasks, manage ProcessWire projects effortlessly, and enhance your development workflow.
- Create new ProcessWire projects
- Serve ProcessWire via built-in PHP webserver
- Perform database backup and restoration
- Manage fields, templates, roles, users, and modules
- Generate boilerplate modules
- Check for core upgrades
- And more...
wire-cli is based on the defunct wireshell, built using the Symfony Console Component, offering a powerful and intuitive command-line interface for interacting with ProcessWire projects and adding new commands. It is compatible with PHP 8.1.
Please note that wire-cli and another tool called rockshell share similar goals and functionality. In the future, the features of wire-cli and rockshell will be merged to provide a unified and comprehensive CLI tool for ProcessWire developers.
To install wire-cli, you need to have Composer installed. Run the following command to install wire-cli globally:
composer global require wirecli/wire-cli
