aShellController

Base controller for a CLI shell application: routes matched with method 'SHELL' (declared via #[Command(...)]) become subcommands, e.g. `php script.php mycommand --arg=value`. If the script is run with NO matching subcommand, the controller falls back to its built-in [`index`](https://mcp.mmoframework.fr/documentation/mmo.core/php/classes/aShellController.md#ashellcontroller-index) "interactive mode" -- a REPL that lists every #[InteractiveCommand(...)]-decorated method and lets the user pick one by name.

Methods9

callInteractiveCommand($route, $cmd)

aShellController.php:131

Invoke the method behind $cmd (looked up via InteractiveCommands), or print an "unknown command" message if $cmd doesn't match any registered interactive command.

function callInteractiveCommand(MMO\core\server\Route $route, string $cmd): void

$route	Route
$cmd	string
returns	void

hasOtherCommand($route)

aShellController.php:75

Tell if another shell controller matched a command of its own (anything but its index) for $route

protected function hasOtherCommand(MMO\core\server\Route $route): bool

$route	Route
returns	bool

$edmsShell->hasOtherCommand($route); // true for `php admin.php agent-login`, an AdminController command

index($route)

aShellController.php:148

The built-in interactive REPL: shows the splash + command list, then loops reading a command name (with autocompletion, via ask) and dispatching it through callInteractiveCommand until the user types 'q' or presses ESC.

#[MMO\core\attributes\Command([], 'interactive mode', order: 1000)] function index(MMO\core\server\Route $route): void

$route	Route
returns	void

InteractiveCommands()

staticaShellController.php:89

Every #[InteractiveCommand(...)]-decorated method on this class, keyed by its command name. Computed once (via reflection over #[APIRoute]-family attributes, see tWithRoutes::ExtractRoutes) and cached in a static local variable.

static function InteractiveCommands(): array

returns

array

onRoute($route)

aShellController.php:48

Same as aController::onRoute, plus: forces the response to shell/text output, and decides whether to fall back to the built-in interactive index command -- it stays active only if this is the ONLY matching route for the current invocation (i.e. no explicit subcommand was given).

function onRoute(MMO\core\server\Route $route): bool

None of that applies to an http request: a shell controller may also carry an #[APIRoute] of its own ([`AdminController::routeServerInfo`](https://mcp.mmoframework.fr/documentation/mmo.core/php/controllers/AdminController.md#admincontroller-routeserverinfo)), and a 'SHELL|**' command never matches a GET -- so the only route that got here is the api one, which would otherwise be answered as shell text and, being alone, would put the controller in interactive mode on a web server.

$route	Route
returns	bool

route_help($route)

aShellController.php:177

Print CLI usage for every 'SHELL'-method route on this controller: the command line to type, each argument's name/required-ness/description, and any declared usage examples.

#[MMO\core\attributes\InteractiveCommand('help', 'show help')] function route_help(MMO\core\server\Route $route): void

$route	Route
returns	void

setInteractive($interactive)

aShellController.php:29

function setInteractive(bool $interactive)

$interactive	bool
returns

showInteractiveCommands()

aShellController.php:116

Print the list of available interactive commands, plus the [ENTER]/[ESC]/q hints.

function showInteractiveCommands(): void

returns

void

showSplash()

aShellController.php:105

Print the application's icon/version/title/description banner.

function showSplash(): void

returns

void

Methods	Declared by	Description
`alert($message, $context)`	aModule	Action must be taken immediately.
`backtraces($message, $context)`	aModule	Force-log a message at INFO level together with a full stack trace/memory snapshot (`iLogLevel::BACKTRACE`), bypassing the verbosity mask entirely (any non-zero verbosity is enough to trigger it).
`Configure($config)`	aModule	Merge $config into this module's configuration in the shared `Configuration`.
`critical($message, $context)`	aModule	Critical conditions. No-op if CRITICAL is currently filtered out by the verbosity mask.
`debug($message, $context)`	aModule	Detailed debug information.
`debugName()`	aModule	Human-readable identifier used as the default `{origin}` in this instance's log messages.
`DefaultConfig()`	aModule	The config a module starts from before anything loaded via `Configuration` is merged in.
`emergency($message, $context)`	aModule	System is unusable. No-op if EMERGENCY is currently filtered out by the verbosity mask.
`error($message, $context)`	aModule	Runtime errors that do not require immediate action but should typically be logged and monitored.
`ExtractRoutes($config)`	aController	Extract all the APIRoute from this class, regardless of the fact they are registered in the application
`getVerbosity()`	aModule
`HasRoutes()`	aController	Tells if any APIRoute are registered in the application
`info($message, $context)`	aModule	Interesting events. No-op if INFO is currently filtered out by the verbosity mask.
`Instantiate($config)`	aModule	(Re)create the shared instance immediately, configured with $config merged into the class's existing config.
`IsShared()`	aModule
`Link($method, $data)`	aController	Build a `Link` (URL + label/icon/description/title, taken from the route's APIRoute metadata) for a registered route.
`log($level, $message, $context)`	aModule	Logs with an arbitrary level.
`notice($message, $context)`	aModule	Normal but significant events.
`offsetExists($key)`	aModule	\ArrayAccess::offsetExists -- tells whether $key is a declared property at all, regardless of whether it is currently readable/writable through array access.
`offsetGet($key)`	aModule	\ArrayAccess::offsetGet -- reads a property directly, unless it has a `#[Serialize(serialize: 'methodName')]` attribute, in which case that zero-argument method is called instead (e.g.
`offsetSet($key, $value)`	aModule	\ArrayAccess::offsetSet -- sets a property directly, unless it has a `#[Serialize(unserialize: 'methodName')]` attribute, in which case that method is called with $value instead (e.g.
`offsetUnset($key)`	aModule	\ArrayAccess::offsetUnset -- equivalent to `$module[$key] = null`.
`Route($method)`	aController	Get a registered APIRoute WARNING: if this class was not registered in the application, it will return null.
`Routes()`	aController	Get a list of registered APIRoutes (from this class) in the application WARNING: if this class was not registered in the application, it will return an empty array.
`serialize($path, $serializer)`	aModule	\MMO\core\interfaces\iSerializable::serialize -- exports every property (via
`setVerbosity($verb)`	aModule	Set the current verbosity mask, replacing whatever it was before.
`Shared()`	aModule	Get the shared instance, creating (and configuring) it on first call.
`testVerbosity($level)`	aModule	Test whether a given level (or set of levels) is currently enabled by this instance's verbosity mask.
`traitUnshare($serialize)`	aModule	Remove the shared instance, so the next `Shared()` call creates a fresh one.
`unserialize($data, $path, $instances)`	aModule	\MMO\core\interfaces\iSerializable::unserialize -- merges $data onto `DefaultConfig`, runs it through the (possibly overridden) constructor, then applies each resulting value to its property (via
`Unshare($serialize)`	aModule	Like `tSingleton::Unshare`, but also disconnects this module's instance from every event it was listening to (via `Event::DisconnectListeners`) before dropping it.
`Url($method, $data)`	aController	Build the URL for a registered route, filling in any `{placeholder}` from $data.
`warning($message, $context)`	aModule	Exceptional occurrences that are not errors.
`__construct($config)`	aModule	protected constructor, so it is not possible to do `new Module(...)` called by the serialization process just before being injected with data.
`__wakeup()`	aController	Called automatically right after the controller's shared instance is built (`aModule::unserialize`): registers `onRoute` as a Route listener with a low priority (-10), so it…
