How to create task
First you need to create the task file. It could be named as:
- Taskman
- taskman
- Taskman.php
- taskman.php
It is important to remember that you can write anything you like inside a task file. But be sure that you are using valid PHP syntax.
Below goes source code of the Taskman file.
<?php
desc('Simple task');
task('simple', function() {
echo "Yeap! You have just invoked simple task!\n";
});
desc('Task with a prerequisite');
task('prerequisite', 'simple', function() {
echo "Prerequisite task is completed.\n\n";
echo "You can specify as many prerequisite tasks as you need.\n";
echo "Just write them between the task name and definition of an anonymous function.\n\n";
echo " task(name[,'callbefore', ...], callable);\n\n";
});
group('named', function() {
desc('Simlpe named task');
task('task', function(){
echo "Simple named task has been invoked.\n";
});
desc('Named task with a prerequisites');
task('prerequisite', 'simple', function(){
echo "Named prerequisite task is completed.\n\n";
echo "If you want to call a task within the current group ";
echo "you should place : (colon) before a prerequisite task.\n\n";
echo " task('name' ':callbefore', callable);\n";
echo " task('name' ':subgroup:anothersub:task', callable);\n\n";
echo "If you want to call a task from a top namespace ";
echo "you should place ^ (caret) before a prerequisite task.\n\n";
echo " task('name' '^callbefore', callable);\n";
echo " task('name' '^differentgroup:anothersubgroup:task', callable);\n\n";
});
});
group('included', function() {
require __DIR__ . '/tasks.php';
});And now let's see included tasks from a task.php.
<?php
desc('Main task');
task('main', ':prepare', function() {
echo "Main task has been invoked\n";
});
desc('Preparation task');
task('prepare', function() {
echo "Prepare to invoke main task\n";
});
desc('Invoke simple task from outside the group');
task('simple', '^simple', function() {
echo "And you have been done it from included:simple.\n";
});That's all for now!
