Laravel: New "about" Command

Following on from the recently introduced fresh new look for Artisan, we took some time to identify new Artisan commands to further improve the Laravel experience. Another newly introduced command is "about". This command displays information about your application's environment.


After introducing a fresh new look for Artisan, we also took some time to identify new Artisan commands to improve your Laravel experience. We know - we're kind of obsessed.

As part of this exploration, we are introducing the about command. This command provides a gorgeous overview of your application's environment and configuration.

Artisan about command

Even better, applications and packages may also add their own custom information to the output:

Sometimes you may only want to view information from one or more sections. You can do so via the only option: php artisan about --only=drivers. Or, you can instruct the command to output the same information in JSON for easy consumption by other programs: php artisan about --json

At Laravel, we're committed to providing you with the most robust and developer-friendly PHP experience in the world. So, we hope you enjoy this new Artisan command!
