Overview

A VS Code extension to simplify the usage of "php artisan" commands in Laravel projects by allowing you to set a custom alias. By default, the alias is set to "art," but users can modify it using the phpArtisanAlias.setAlias setting or the Set PHP Artisan Alias command.

Features

• Set a custom alias for the "php artisan" command.
• Automatically detect Laravel projects.
• Supports setting aliases in various terminal environments (cmd, PowerShell, Unix-like systems).

Installation

1. Install the extension from the VS Code Marketplace.
2. Reload or restart VS Code to activate the extension.

Usage

Quick Start

1. Open a Laravel project in VS Code.
2. Open a terminal in VS Code.
3. Use art instead of php artisan.

Default Alias

By default, the alias is set to art. You can use this alias in any terminal within a Laravel project to run php artisan commands. For example:

art migrate

Custom Alias

To set a custom alias:

1. Open your VS Code settings. Navigate to File > Preferences > Settings or use Ctrl+, / cmd+,.
2. Search for HP Artisan Alias.
3. Set your desired alias in the phpArtisanAlias.alias setting.

"phpArtisanAlias.alias": "artisan"

This would set the alias to artisan, enabling commands like artisan migrate instead of php artisan migrate.

Alternatively, you can use the command palette to set the alias:

1. Open the command palette using Ctrl+Shift+P or Cmd+Shift+P.
2. Search for Set PHP Artisan Alias and run the command.
3. Enter your desired alias.
