How to create a custom console command (artisan) for Laravel Framework 6.16.0

Introdution: Laravel has a command-line interface named Artisan. This interface provides the developer a lot of useful commands to speed up the development process.commands that aim to make your life as a developer easier.

Create and register command:

The default command for creating user defined command is shown below −
php artisan make:console <name-of-command>

Example:

php artisan make:command health:check

This should create a HealthCheck class in the /app/console/commands directory with App\Console\Commands namespace.

Finally, our command is not registered, therefore we need to add it into our /app/console/Kernel.php file in the $commands array (provide the class path and name):

protected $commands = [

    // Commands\Inspire::class,

    'App\Console\Commands\Healthcheck'

];

Use php artisan cache:clear to clear the cache and try executing your command with the previous given name:

php artisan health:check

The last method in the HealthCheck class is the handle() method, which is the body of the command.
