I want to start using tinker to debug functions much faster. The issue is that for every change I need to stop and start tinker again.
I'm hoping I can use something like you have with mysql; you can start mysql and do your queries like that, but you can also run something like this
mysql -u root -e "select * from users"
which just works without starting up the mysql interface.
So I'm trying to find a way to do something like this
> tinker -e "User::find(1)->email"
"my.user@gmail.com"

You can use: php artisan tinker --execute="dump(User::find(1)->email)" which you can write a little bit shorter to be php artisan tinker --execute="dd(User::find(1)->email)".
If you want to see more options, execute this: php artisan tinker -h. As you can see there, unfortunately there is no abbreviation for the --execute[=EXECUTE] flag.
