Phx - Phoenix Framework friendly CLI (Mix phx.* wrapper)

Subjectively I don’t see custom wrappers have any use for me, because:

  1. We already have mix help … command if something is not clear.
  2. It’s not good way for copy-paste examples (learning resources, creating similar project etc.)
  3. They are harder to enhance comparing to simple bash autocompletion scripts

If I really would need to add something then it would be a simple bash script for autocompletion.

Also since lots of Unix commands supports passing arguments like you do, I would rather ask a phoenix core team if such idea could be merged to phoenix project instead of creating a wrapper.

If we would take a look at phx.new task code then we would see how simple would be a way to add prompts:

In this case simple defp parse_opts([]) do … end function clause would do the work.
