๐ŸŸ A package to execute a random artisan command

Original โ€“ by Freek Van der Herten โ€“ 1 minute read

Aren't you tired of having to think about which artisan command to execute? The spatie/laravel-random-command package takes that pain away. It provides a random command that will pick a random command and execute it.

This is how you can unleash the power of the random command. Just execute it and don't look back!

php artisan random

Let's take a look at how such greatness is achieved. Here's the code of the RandomCommand.

public function handle()
{
     $this->confirm('You are about to execute a random command. Are you sure you want to do this?');

    $allCommands = $this->getApplication()->all();
  
    $commandString = collect($allCommands)->keys()->random();
  		
    $this->info("Executing command: `{$commandString}`");

    // ๐Ÿงจ๐Ÿงจ๐Ÿงจ
    Artisan::call($commandString, [], $this->output);
}

We don't recommend installing this in your production environment. Or your local environment. In fact it might be best not to install it at all.
