Laravel – What is getOptions in console command

I was working on creating a command and wanted to get all options, so I getOptions() in my code, but it always returned an empty array.

After doing some debugging, I found out that this getOptions method is defined in the HasParameters trait and is ALWAYS an empty array; I wonder what its purpose? I couldn’t find anything about it in the documentation. Is that a Laravel thing? Or a Symfony one?

    As you said, getOptions comes from HasParameters, and you should see that HasParameters is in IlluminateConsoleConcerns namespace, so it is 100% laarvel…

    So, what you want to use is: $this->options(), it will return an array of options…

    When creating a command you can provide parameters:

    protected $signature = 'app:test {user} {test=} {--force}';

    this signature contains:

    • arguments: user and test= ($this->argument(‘user’) and $this->argument(‘test=’))

      ex. php artisan app:test 1 test=mail

    • options: force ($this->option(‘force’))

      ex. php artisan app:test 1 test=mail --force

    separately, get all: $this->options() and $this->arguments()

    upd. as docs says:

    The getArguments() and getOptions() methods are where you may define
    any arguments or options your command receives. Both of these methods
    return an array of commands, which are described by a list of array
    options.

    actually, if you creates some command just forget about those functions
