British Artisan

British English command spellings for Laravel Artisan, with suitably dry corrections when the American spelling is used.

What it does

British Artisan lets you use:

php artisan optimise
php artisan optimise:clear

Laravel still receives and runs its native commands:

php artisan optimize
php artisan optimize:clear

The British spelling runs silently. The American spelling still works, but receives a randomly selected reminder that the proper spelling exists.

Install the package with Composer:

composer require sebs-space/british-artisan

Then run the one-off installer:

php artisan british-artisan:install

The installer updates the project-root artisan file so command-line arguments are translated before Laravel resolves the command.

Use the British spelling as normal:

php artisan optimise
php artisan optimise:clear

Any command beginning with optimise is translated to the matching optimize command before Laravel runs it.

The original American spelling continues to work:

php artisan optimize:clear

It simply receives a polite correction first.

Restore the original Laravel artisan bootstrap with:

php artisan british-artisan:uninstall

Then remove the package:

composer remove sebs-space/british-artisan

British English	Laravel command
`optimise`	`optimize`
`optimise:*`	`optimize:*`

Additional command translations can be added in future releases.
