  • Using Artisan::call() to pass non-option arguments

    You want to pass a non-option argument to a Laravel command? You won’t find this in documentation, but it’s easy to do:

    php artisan posts:generate  ---public  ---count=5

    Equivalent of the above with Artisan::call is as follows

    Artisan::call(
    command: 'posts:generate',
    arguments: [
       '--public' => true,
       'count' =>5
    ]
);
