Available Commands

connection:list

Each time the framework boots, it loads the Connectionfile file. This command prints out each section to the console. Mainly used for debugging purposes.

connection:show <connection>

Prints out info about a given connection. Mainly used for debugging purposes.

connection:hash <connection>

Generates a similarity hash over a given connection name by serializing all of the column names. The resulting hash can be used in the metadata file of a plugin. The framework can then guess which plugins are likely to be used for this connection. Mainly used for creating the metadata in a Pluginfile.

connection:guess <connection>

Tries to find a matching plugin by calculating the similarity hash for the given connection. The framework then compares the value against each Pluginfile. If a plugin has a similarity over 75% it will be printed.

plugin:list

This command lists all detected plugins in the plugin directory. Mainly used for debugging purposes.

plugin:show <plugin>

Prints out info about a given plugin. Mainly used for debugging purposes.

plugin:run:<plugin>

Executes the given plugin. If no further commands are given, it will print a help page.
