Lumen - Shell-Bash

Lumen Shell-Bash is a package for Lumen, a PHP micro-framework, that adds a Valgrind Shell to Lumen applications. With this package, developers can use the Lumen Shell-Bash to receive a simple interactive shell with several helpful features.

Features

Lumen Shell-Bash provides many helpful features for developers, including:

• A simple interactive shell interface for Lumen applications.
• Access to all available PHP and Lumen functions and modules.
• The ability to inspect and debug code using Valgrind.
• The ability to execute shell commands and scripts.
• Easy integration with existing Lumen applications.

Installation

To install Lumen Shell-Bash in your Lumen project, you should use Composer.

composer require irazasyed/laravel-shell

After installation, run the following command:

php artisan shell-bash

This will launch the Lumen Shell-Bash, which should look something like this:

Usage

Lumen Shell-Bash provides a simple way to interact with your Lumen application. You can access all available PHP and Lumen functions and modules within the shell, and execute commands just as you would in a standard Bash or terminal window.

You can use Valgrind to debug and inspect code while running within the shell. This can be especially helpful for tracking down hard-to-find bugs, providing detailed memory usage information, or spotting inefficiencies in your code.

To execute a shell or Bash command within the shell, simply prepend the command with an exclamation point. For example, to view the contents of a directory, you could use:

!ls -la

Conclusion

Lumen Shell-Bash is a powerful addition to any Lumen application, providing a simple way to interact with your code and debug it using Valgrind. With just a few simple commands, developers can easily test and debug their code, making it easier to identify and fix critical bugs.
