LiveCommand class abstract

A command that runs inside your running app, triggered from Metro.

Live commands live in lib/app/commands/ next to your Metro commands and use the same builder and handle shape. The difference is where they run: handle executes inside the app, so it can use NyStorage, routeTo, Auth and your models.

class SeedCartCommand extends LiveCommand {
  @override
  CommandBuilder builder(CommandBuilder command) {
    command.addOption('count', abbr: 'c', defaultValue: '3');
    command.addFlag('open', help: 'Open the cart afterwards');
    return command;
  }

  @override
  Future<void> handle(CommandResult result) async {
    final int count = result.getInt('count') ?? 3;
    await CartItem.seed(count: count);
    success('Seeded $count cart items');
  }
}

Create one with metro make:command seed_cart --live, which also registers it with your app, then run it from the terminal while the app runs in debug mode: metro app:seed_cart --count 5.
