New Tool - mini

[WendellAdriel]

@erikaheidi @JustSteveKing

As you know, Laravel has a tool called Artisan that has a lot of amazing commands.

I was thinking on building a command using minicli itself that would be called mini, that would be something like Artisan.

I’m thinking on building only one command called create that would be used to create commands, themes and services like:

mini create command TestController
mini create service TestService
mini create theme TestTheme

After this first release we can create more commands to list commands, list services, list configurations, etc.

If you like this idea I’d love to work on this after we “release” miniterm!

I love this idea! I think we could potentially do a lot with this

[WendellAdriel]

Yeah, for the future this can be a really powerful tool since it will enable a lot of possibilities!

Let’s make it happen!
I’ll be starting to work on mini ASAP and I’ll send updates here!

@erikaheidi @JustSteveKing one QQ on this.
Should this new tool, mini be put in the minicli/minicli repository or should it be a new repository like minicli/mini that will be a default dependency for minicli/application like the minicli/command-help?

If this should be a new repository, can any of you create it so I can start working directly on a repository in the minicli org or should I start on a personal repository like miniterm and then we move to the minicli org?

[JustSteveKing]

I think start on a private repo for a proof of concept, then we can transfer it to the org later?

minicli/mini would be cool!

[WendellAdriel]

Nice, I'll do that, thanks!

[erikaheidi]

Yess I was just going to propose that. As an external command, this will be super helpful! then you can still create a minimal app if you want, but the application templates would add this command by default just as it is with the help command currently.

Amazing! Let’s go for it! I’ll start working on this!
