How to write in new line with laravel tinker

Question

How can I break to a new line using laravel tinker?

So instead of: $users = User::all(); foreach($users as $user) {echo $user->email;}

I want to be able to write it as follows:

$users = User::all();

foreach($users as $user) {
   echo $user->email;
}

Is it possible?

I just tried it and opening a curly brace { changes the terminal from >>> to ... and only executes the block when I put in a } so... yes it works. You really should try these things out first. That's the whole point of tinkering – Sericeous

@Sericeous I did try it before posting my question, and it doesn't change the terminal to ... – Sea

Ok, never mind I understand what you mean now. I should write { at first and then hit Enter. I searched about this before posting my question but didn't find any info... Thank you. – Sea

Answer 1

Pipe your code into tinker i.e.:

cat yourcode.php | php artisan tinker

I think this might be the closest you'll get to what you want in the current version.

Answer 2

You can start a code block with { hit enter and then paste in your code, and close the block with } to execute it.

(I was today years old when I figured this out!)

Answer 3

You can break line using "\n".

Example:

$users = User::all();

foreach($users as $user) {
    echo $user->email . "\n";
}

OBS: Your "\n" needs to be inside a DOUBLE QUOTES

this does not answer the question. This is about tinker, not php – Gwyn
