[console] Use your Drush @aliases to call Drupal Console

[greg-1-anderson]

If you source something like the script below in a .bashrc or .bash_profile, then you can use drupal @drushalias console:command to run Drupal Console commands using Drush aliases. Also works for remote site aliases.

#!/bin/bash

#
# Cool bash functions to integrate Drupal Console with Drush remote alias execution
#

# Allow `drupal @site consolecommand` as a shortcut for `cd @site; drupal consolecommand`.
# Also works on remote sites, though.
function drupal() {
  s="$1"
  if [ -n "$s" ] && [ ${s:0:1} == "@" ]
  then
    d="$(drush drupal-directory $s 2>/dev/null)"
    rh="$(drush sa ${s%%:*} --fields=remote-host --format=list)"
    if [ -n "$rh" ]
    then
      drush ${s%%:*} ssh "console '$d' ; git ${@:2}"
    else
      echo cd "$d" \; drupal "${@:2}"
      (
        cd "$d"
        "$(which drupal)" "${@:2}"
      )
    fi
  else
    "$(which drupal)" "$@"
  fi
}

This issue does not longer apply because Drush is not part of Drupal Console anymore (#1520). For this reason I'm closing this issue.

[greg-1-anderson]

The script here does not depend on the function removed in #1520. Closing is fine, though; this example does not need to be part of Drupal Console; it would work for folks who want to use it independent of whether or not it is distributed as part of this project.

As mentioned by @greg-1-anderson this is not related to #1520, this is to take advantage of a common way of using aliases a la drush I will leave this open and test it to see how can we take advanatge of.

Using this code as inspiration, we have merge this functionality into DrupalConsole core. You can use either --target or @.

Here is the implementation - https://github.com/hechoendrupal/DrupalConsole/blob/master/src/Application.php#L115

Very nice.
