Using "confirm()"
To ask for confirmation from the user, you can make use of the "confirm()" method and pass in the question like below.
Using "confirm()"
To ask for confirmation from the user, you can make use of the "confirm()" method and pass in the question like below.
if ($this->confirm('Do you wish to continue?')) {
dd('if confirm returns true then this will get executed');
}Using auto-complete Options
If you prefer to auto-complete options then you can use "anticipate()" or "choice()" method which accepts the question and suggests possible values of answers.
$answer = $this->anticipate('What is 1 + 2?', [1, 2, 3, 4]);
$name = $this->choice(
'What is your name?',
['Taylor', 'Dayle'],
$defaultIndex
);Code Example

namespace App\Console\Commands;

class SayHello extends Command
{
/**
* The name and signature of the console command.
*
* @var string
*/
protected $signature = 'app:say-hello';
/**

*/
protected $description = 'Say hello to the user';
/**

}
/**

*
* @return int
*/
public function handle()

if ($this->confirm('Do you wish to continue?')) {
$this->info('Hello guys');
