Project Initialization

Project Init Commands

# Initialize a new GEMVC project
php vendor/bin/gemvc init

# Initialize with specific server type
php vendor/bin/gemvc init --swoole
php vendor/bin/gemvc init --apache
php vendor/bin/gemvc init --nginx

# Non-interactive mode
php vendor/bin/gemvc init --server=swoole --non-interactive

Code Generation

Generate complete CRUD operations or individual components:

Code Generation Commands

# Create complete CRUD (service, controller, model, table)
php vendor/bin/gemvc create:crud UserService

# Create individual components
php vendor/bin/gemvc create:service UserService
php vendor/bin/gemvc create:controller UserController
php vendor/bin/gemvc create:model User
php vendor/bin/gemvc create:table users

# With options
php vendor/bin/gemvc create:service UserService -cmt  # Include controller, model, table

Tip: Use create:crud for the fastest way to build a complete API - it generates all required files in one command!

# Initialize database
php vendor/bin/gemvc db:init

# Run migrations
php vendor/bin/gemvc db:migrate UserTable
php vendor/bin/gemvc db:migrate UserTable --force
php vendor/bin/gemvc db:migrate UserTable --sync-schema

# Database utilities
