Open the section on browser:

Xin will use the default system browser to open URL. Key is the value available from "list".

$ php artisan xin:docs read --key=envoy

Open documentation in different languages:

Use --locale option. Currently, only "en" and "vn" are supported. Default is "en".

$ php artisan xin:docs read --key=structure --locale=vn

Play with log files

All logs are stored under storage/logs directory.

Read log file

The default log file is laravel.log.

$ php artisan xin:log

You can read content of different log files by name:

$ php artisan xin:log --name=custom.log

Clean log file content

$ php artisan xin:log --clean

The log file will be empty.

You can combine clean a custom log file:

$ php artisan xin:log --name=custom.log --clean

Remove all logs

$ php artisan xin:log --remove-all

This command will remove all files in storage/logs directory.

Share code via Gist

This command will share a source file to public Gist. It will response with Gist Id and Gist Url.

$ php artisan xin:gist [filename] --desc="Sharing description."

For example, if you want to share public/index.php file:

$ php artisan xin:gist public/index.php --desc="Sharing Laravel index file."
Gist Sharing Information
------------------------------------------------------------------
Gist Id:  37c55c18cd63c34195c22fafbff6fe16
Gist Url: https://gist.github.com/37c55c18cd63c34195c22fafbff6fe16

Note: on Windows, since the path separator is \, so you need to wrap the filename with double-quotation mark " like this:

$ php artisan xin:gist "public\index.php"

Create empty Blade view

Wanna create Blade view file from command quickly? Use this:

$ php artisan xin:view admin.auth.login

It will create login.blade.php at resources/views/admin/auth, it also does create any directory that doesn't exist in the path.

Apparently, in Linux/Unix/Mac, you can use touch.

$ mkdir resources/views/admin/auth
$ touch resources/views/admin/auth/login.blade.php
