Artisan Commands

Twill includes a few Artisan commands to facilitate the development process. They are all maintained under the twill: namespace.

Here is an overview:

php artisan twill:install {preset? : Optional, the preset to install} {--fromBuild} - Detailed in the installation section of the documentation, this command will generate and run core migrations for a starter Twill installation. Running this command after it has already been run can lead to errors and conflicts with your changes. After running database migrations, it will then automatically run the twill:superadmin command detailed below, in order to create a superadmin user, so you can log into your CMS.
php artisan twill:superadmin {email?} {password?} - As noted above, this command will prompt you to create a new superadmin user, requesting a user email address and then a password. Run this command on its own if you need to quickly generate a new superadmin user.
php artisan twill:update {--fromBuild} {--migrate} - Publish new updated Twill assets and optionally run database migrations
php artisan twill:lqip {--all=0} - This command generates low-quality image placeholders (LQIP) of your media files as base64 encoded strings that you can inline in your HTML response to avoid an extra image request. This is a strategy deployed in media management to improve initial page load times. The default behavior of this command is to generate LQIP for any media files that do not already have an LQIP alternative. Use the --all flag to generate new LQIP for all media files. To learn more about media management, check out the media library section of the documentation.
php artisan twill:refresh-crops - Refresh all crops for an existing image role. It may be crops defined in the Model or in config/twill.php.

1php artisan twill:refresh-crops
2  {modelName : The fully qualified model name (e.g. App\Models\Post, A17\Twill\Models\Block)}
3  {roleName : The role name for which crops will be refreshed}
4  {--dry : Print the operations that would be performed without modifying the database}` -
