Untuk para pengembang aplikasi berbasis web yang menggunakan framework Laravel, Artisan CLI merupakan salah satu senjata utama yang harus dikuasai.

Ilustrasinya begini. Ibarat petani, bajak dipakai untuk mempermudah pekerjaan. Dengan bajak, petani bisa membajak sawahnya dengan cepat dan usaha yang lebih sedikit. Kalau pakai cangkul mungkin lebih lama kerjanya.

Jika ilustrasi petani pada ilustrasi diatas kita gantikan dengan pengguna framework Laravel, Artisan CLI adalah bajaknya. Artisan CLI akan membantu pengembang untuk meng-generate file-file dengan struktur kode dasar yang dibutuhkan pengembang. Pengembang bisa saja membuat file-file secara manual, tapi akan banyak waktu dan usaha. Contohnya, ketika membuat controller secara manual, pengembang perlu mengingat class mana saja yang di-extend dan digunakan oleh suatu controller . Ribet bukan?

Jadi, untuk langsung menggunakan Artisan CLI, teman-teman bisa membuka CMD atau terminal dan buka root folder project yang sudah di-generate sebelumnya. Coba jalankan perintah berikut:

php artisan list

Maka akan muncul daftar perintah yang bisa kita gunakan pada Artisan CLI.

  command [options] [arguments]
