Console output as a service

Installation

composer require "wazum/console-output-service"

Usage

This little TYPO3 extension provides the Symfony ConsoleOutput as a service.

The ConsoleOutput can then be injected everywhere it's needed (outside any console command), so you don't need to pass the instance around (which is impossible, if the service is not invoked directly, e.g. in an event-based system as in the example below).

namespace Vendor\Extension\EventListener;

use Symfony\Component\Console\Output\ConsoleOutput;

final class OnSomethingHappened
{
    public function __construct(private readonly ConsoleOutput $output)
    {
    }

    public function __invoke(SomethingHappened $event): void
    {
        $this->output->writeln(
                '<info>Something happened!</info>'
        );
    }
}

Background

The extension configures a factory for the ConsoleOutput, which will automatically be used whenever you inject the ConsoleOutput as a service.

services:
  Wazum\ConsoleOutputService\Console\ConsoleOutputFactory: ~

  Symfony\Component\Console\Output\ConsoleOutput:
    factory: ['@Wazum\ConsoleOutputService\Console\ConsoleOutputFactory', 'create']
