I came across many suggestions for implementing thephp artisan serve command in Lumen, however sometimes in development, especially with the popularization of microservices, that is, there may be situations where different applications need to communicate, usually in a development environment using only ports as access.
So starting application by application withphp -S host:port -t public can be a little tricky or just annoying.
Fortunately if we have the value of APP_URL in env we can facilitate part of the process.
First create a file calledServeCommand.php in the./app/Console/Commands/ folder, after editapp/Console/Kernel.php and putServerCommand, like this:
<?phpnamespaceApp\Console;useIlluminate\Console\Scheduling\Schedule;useLaravel\Lumen\Console\KernelasConsoleKernel;classKernelextendsConsoleKernel{protected$commands=[Commands\ServeCommand::class,];The classIlluminate\Console\Command has a protected method calledgetOptions(), with it we can define default values for parameters in a command, or also inform if a parameter is optional (Symfony\Component\Console\Input\InputOption::VALUE_OPTIONAL) or required (Symfony\Component\Console\Input\InputArgument::REQUIRED).
More details in:https://symfony.com/doc/current/console/input.html
The proposal is to use as an option, that is, allow the user to change the host or port if desired when entering a command, or else use the value ofAPP_URL. To get the default host and port values I usedparse_url, example usage:
protectedfunctiongetOptions(){$url=env('APP_URL');return[['host',null,InputOption::VALUE_OPTIONAL,'The host address to serve the application on.',parse_url($url,PHP_URL_HOST)],['port',null,InputOption::VALUE_OPTIONAL,'The port to serve the application on.',parse_url($url,PHP_URL_PORT)],];}to obtain the host and port (defined via command line or.env) use:
$host=$this->input->getOption('host');$port=$this->input->getOption('port');However there is still a detail, it is possible for the user to start theartisan serve from a different folder level so we set the-t (php built in webserver) to start thepublic directory. To get the project directory use:
$base=$this->laravel->basePath();The command call should look like this:
passthru('"'.PHP_BINARY.'"'." -S{$host}:{$port} -t\"{$base}/public\"");Source on gist:https://gist.github.com/brcontainer/44f47d35f47cd4e33f14023f8521bea1

for me I just create a .sh file called serve.sh, inside the file is php -S host:port -t public, then to serve it just run sh serve.sh

Thanks for commenting. Believe me, I use it too, but in projects with my own framework. I created aserver.bat and aserver.sh, I also find it more practical.
