Bash-only Laravel Artisan tab auto-complete

php-artisan-bash-completion.md

If you are an Oh-my-zsh user, see the Laravel 5 plugin

For the rest of us Bash users, all of the Laravel Artisan autocomplete solutions out there require installing a composer package to get a list of artisan commands. Turns out this isn't really necessary. Simply add the provided code in ~/.bash_profile ( or similarly sourced file ) and you'll get artisan command tab completes on any project on your system.

_artisan()
{
    local arg="${COMP_LINE#php }"

    case "$arg" in
        artisan*)
            COMP_WORDBREAKS=${COMP_WORDBREAKS//:}
            COMMANDS=`php artisan --raw --no-ansi list | sed "s/[[:space:]].*//g"`
            COMPREPLY=(`compgen -W "$COMMANDS" -- "${COMP_WORDS[COMP_CWORD]}"`)
            ;;
        *)
            COMPREPLY=( $(compgen -o default -- "${COMP_WORDS[COMP_CWORD]}") )
            ;;
        esac

    return 0
}
complete -F _artisan php
