Option to suppress output?

[edent]

Feature Request

• Yes, I reviewed the contribution guidelines.

When dealing with complex queries, WP Shell often dumps large volumes of data on to my screen.

For example, running a query with 'posts_per_page'=> 200, will result in hundreds of blog posts being printed. But I only want, say, the GUID.

Describe the solution you'd like

I'd like a command-line option so that wp shell --no-output will only display what I explicitly echo.

Current version:

wp shell
wp> $a = "hello";
=> string(5) "hello"

Proposed version:

wp shell --no-output
wp> $a = "hello";
wp>

We could potentially repurpose the --quiet global argument for this.

Feel free to submit a pull request, if you'd like. Here is some guidance on our pull request best practices.

Thanks. Am I right in thinking the functionality just needs to be altered in:

shell-command/src/WP_CLI/Shell/REPL.php

Line 39 in f470d04

if ( ! self::starts_with( 'return', $line ) ) {

@edent That might be it!
