# Creating Custom Drush Commands
Creating a new Drush command or porting a legacy command is easy. Follow the steps below.
1. Run `drush generate drush-command-file`.
2. Drush will prompt for the machine name of the module that should "own" the file.
1. (optional) Drush will also prompt for the path to a legacy command file to port. See [tips on porting commands to Drush 11](https://weitzman.github.io/blog/port-to-drush9)
1. The module selected must already exist and be enabled. Use `drush generate module-standard` to create a new module.
3. Drush will then report that it created a commandfile, a drush.services.yml file and a composer.json file. Edit those files as needed.
4. Use the classes for the core Drush commands at [/src/Drupal/Commands](https://github.com/drush-ops/drush/tree/11.x/src/Drupal/Commands) as inspiration and documentation.
5. See the [dependency injection docs](dependency-injection.md) for interfaces you can implement to gain access to Drush config, Drupal site aliases, etc.
6. Write PHPUnit tests based on [Drush Test Traits](https://github.com/drush-ops/drush/blob/11.x/docs/contribute/unish.md#drush-test-traits).
7. Once your drush.services.yml files is ready, run `drush cr` to get your command recognized by the Drupal container.
## Attributes or Annotations
The following are both valid ways to declare a command:
=== "PHP8 Attributes"
```php
use Drush\Attributes as CLI;
#[CLI\Command(name: 'xkcd:fetch-attributes', aliases: ['xkcd-attributes'])]
#[CLI\Argument(name: 'search', description: 'Optional argument to retrieve the cartoons matching an index, keyword, or "random".')]
#[CLI\Option(name: 'image-viewer', description: 'Command to use to view images (e.g. xv, firefox).', suggestedValues: ['open', 'xv', 'firefox'])]
#[CLI\Option(name: 'google-custom-search-api-key', description: 'Google Custom Search API Key')]
#[CLI\Help(description: 'Retrieve and display xkcd cartoons (attribute variant).')]
#[CLI\Usage(name: 'drush xkcd', description: 'Retrieve and display the latest cartoon')]
#[CLI\Usage(name: 'drush xkcd sandwich', description: 'Retrieve and display cartoons about sandwiches.')]
public function fetch($search = null, $options = ['image-viewer' => 'open', 'google-custom-search-api-key' => 'AIza']) {
$this->doFetch($search, $options);
}
```
=== "Annotations"
```php
/**
* @command xkcd:fetch
* @param $search Optional argument to retrieve the cartoons matching an index number, keyword, or "random".
* @option image-viewer Command to use to view images (e.g. xv, firefox).
* @option google-custom-search-api-key Google Custom Search API Key.
* @usage drush xkcd
* Retrieve and display the latest cartoon.
* @usage drush xkcd sandwich
* Retrieve and display cartoons about sandwiches.
* @aliases xkcd
*/
public function fetch($search = null, $options = ['image-viewer' => 'open', 'google-custom-search-api-key' => 'AIza']) {
$this->doFetch($search, $options);
}
```
- A commandfile that will only be used on PHP8+ should [use PHP Attributes](https://github.com/drush-ops/drush/pull/4821) instead of Annotations.
- [See all Attributes provided by Drush core](https://www.drush.org/api/Drush/Attributes.html).
## Specifying the Services File
A module's composer.json file stipulates the filename where the Drush services (e.g. the Drush command files) are defined. The default services file is `drush.services.yml`, which is defined in the extra section of the composer.json file as follows:
```json
"extra": {
"drush": {
"services": {
"drush.services.yml": "^11"
}
}
}
```
If for some reason you need to load different services for different versions of Drush, simply define multiple services files in the `services` section. The first one found will be used. For example:
```json
"extra": {
"drush": {
"services": {
"drush-11-99.services.yml": "^11.99",
"drush.services.yml": "^11"
}
}
}
```
In this example, the file `drush-11-99.services.yml` loads commandfile classes that require features only available in Drush 11.99 and later, and drush.services.yml loads an older commandfile implementation for earlier versions of Drush.
It is also possible to use [version ranges](https://getcomposer.org/doc/articles/versions.md#version-range) to exactly specify which version of Drush the services file should be used with (e.g. `"drush.services.yml": ">=11 <11.99"`).
In cases where a Composer package contains one or more sub-modules with their own `drush.services.yml` files (such as Drupal distributions or suites of modules), a minimal `composer.json` file can be added to the sub-module's directory, containing only the `extra.drush.services`section as described above.
## Altering Drush Command Info
Drush command info (annotations/attributes) can be altered from other modules. This is done by creating and registering 'command info alterers'. Alterers are class services that are able to intercept and manipulate an existing command annotation.
In order to alter an existing command info, follow the steps below:
1. In the module that wants to alter a command info, add a service class that implements the `\Consolidation\AnnotatedCommand\CommandInfoAltererInterface`.
1. In the module `drush.services.yml` declare a service pointing to this class and tag the service with the `drush.command_info_alterer` tag.
1. In that class, implement the alteration logic in the `alterCommandInfo()` method.
1. Along with the alter code, it's strongly recommended to log a debug message explaining what exactly was altered. This makes things easier on others who may need to debug the interaction of the alter code with other modules. Also it's a good practice to inject the the logger in the class constructor.
For an example, see the alterer class provided by the testing 'woot' module: `tests/fixtures/modules/woot/src/WootCommandInfoAlterer.php`.
## Symfony Console Commands
Drush lists and runs Symfony Console commands, in addition to more typical annotated commands. See [this test](https://github.com/drush-ops/drush/blob/eed106ae4510d5a2df89f8e7fd54b41ffb0aa5fa/tests/integration/AnnotatedCommandCase.php#L178-L180) and this [commandfile](https://github.com/drush-ops/drush/tree/HEAD/tests/fixtures/modules/woot/src/Commands/GreetCommand.php).
## Site-Wide Drush Commands
Commandfiles that are installed in a Drupal site and are not bundled inside a Drupal module are called 'site-wide' commandfiles. Site-wide commands may either be added directly to the Drupal site's repository (e.g. for site-specific policy files), or via `composer require`. See the [examples/Commands](https://github.com/drush-ops/drush/tree/11.x/examples/Commands) folder for examples. In general, it's better to use modules to carry your Drush commands, as module-based commands may [participate in Drupal's dependency injection via the drush.services.yml](#specifying-the-services-file).
If you still prefer using site-wide commandfiles, here are some examples of valid commandfile names and namespaces:
1. Simple
- Filename: $PROJECT_ROOT/drush/Commands/ExampleCommands.php
- Namespace: Drush\Commands
1. Nested in a subdirectory committed to the site's repository
- Filename: $PROJECT_ROOT/drush/Commands/example/ExampleCommands.php
- Namespace: Drush\Commands\example
1. Nested in a subdirectory installed via a Composer package
- Filename: $PROJECT_ROOT/drush/Commands/contrib/dev_modules/ExampleCommands.php
- Namespace: Drush\Commands\dev_modules
Note: Make sure you do _not_ include `src` in the path to your command. Your command may not be discovered and have additional problems.
Installing commands as part of a Composer project requires that the project's type be `drupal-drush`, and that the `installer-paths` in the Drupal site's composer.json file contains `"drush/Commands/contrib/{$name}": ["type:drupal-drush"]`. It is also possible to commit projects with a similar layout using a directory named `custom` in place of `contrib`; if this is done, then the directory `custom` will not be considered to be part of the commandfile's namespace.
If a site-wide commandfile is added via a Composer package, then it may declare any dependencies that it may need in its composer.json file. Site-wide commandfiles that are committed directly to a site's repository only have access to the dependencies already available in the site. Site-wide commandfiles should declare their Drush version compatibility via a `conflict` directive. For example, a Composer-managed site-wide command that works with both Drush 8 and Drush 9 might contain something similar to the following in its composer.json file:
```json
"conflict": {
"drush/drush": "<8.2 || >=9.0 <9.6 || >=10.0",
}
```
Using `require` in place of `conflict` is not recommended.
A site-wide commandfile should have tests that run with each (major) version of Drush that is supported. You may model your test suite after the [example drush extension](https://github.com/drush-ops/example-drush-extension) project.
## Global Drush Commands
Commandfiles that are not part of any Drupal site are called 'global' commandfiles.
### Commands discovered by configuration
Global commandfiles discoverable by configuration are not supported by default; in order to enable them, you must configure your `drush.yml` configuration file to add an `include` search location.
For example:
```yaml
drush:
paths:
include:
- '${env.home}/.drush/commands'
```
With this configuration in place, global commands may be placed as described in the Site-Wide Drush Commands section above. Global commandfiles may not declare any dependencies of their own; they may only use those dependencies already available via the autoloader.
!!! tip
1. The filename must be have a name like Commands/ExampleCommands.php
1. The prefix `Example` can be whatever string you want.
1. The file must end in `Commands.php`
1. The directory above `Commands` must be one of:
1. A Folder listed in the 'include' option. Include may be provided via [config](#global-drush-commands) or via CLI.
1. ../drush, /drush or /sites/all/drush. These paths are relative to Drupal root.
It is recommended that you avoid global Drush commands, and favor site-wide commandfiles instead. If you really need a command or commands that are not part of any Drupal site, consider making a stand-alone script or custom .phar instead. See [ahoy](https://github.com/ahoy-cli/ahoy), [Robo](https://github.com/consolidation/robo) and [g1a/starter](https://github.com/g1a/starter) as potential starting points.
!!! warning "Symlinked packages"
While it is good practice to make your custom commands into a Composer package, please beware that symlinked packages (by using the composer repository type [Path](https://getcomposer.org/doc/05-repositories.md#path)) will **not** be discovered by Drush. When in development, it is recommended to [specify your package's](https://github.com/drush-ops/drush/blob/11.x/examples/example.drush.yml#L52-L67) path in your `drush.yml` to have quick access to your commands.
### Auto-discovered commands
Such commands are auto-discovered by their class PSR4 namespace and class/file name suffix. Drush will auto-discover commands if:
* The commands class is PSR4 auto-loadable.
* The commands class namespace, relative to base namespace, is `Drush\Commands`. For instance, if a Drush command provider third party library maps this PSR4 autoload entry:
```json
"autoload": {
"psr-4": {
"My\\Custom\\Library\\": "src"
}
}
```
then the Drush global commands class namespace should be `My\Custom\Library\Drush\Commands` and the class file should be located under the `src/Drush/Commands` directory.
* The class and file name ends with `*DrushCommands`, e.g. `FooDrushCommands`.
