Hello Magento Friends,

In this tutorial blog post, I will clarify How to Run Compile Command Line in Magento 2.

When the compilation process takes a longer time than usual, you need to run the compile command (setup:di:compile) in Magento 2. Usually, the compilation process takes a long time when the changes have been made at proxy js, factory methods, or other code. So if you feel you have made a lot of changes in your configuration and found the compilation process slows down, it’s time to run the setup:di:compile command.

What does the setup:di:compile command do?

The setup:di:compile command will perform the following things:

Application code generation – for factories, proxies
Interceptor generation – improve code generation of interceptors
Interception cache generation – improve cache generation of interceptors
Area configuration aggregation – improve dependency injection configurations per area
Repositories code generation – create code for APIs
Service data attributes generation – create extension classes for data objects

Now, let’s see How to Run Compile Command Line in Magento 2.

Steps to Run Compile Command Line in Magento 2:

Go to Magento Root Folder and run the help command to know what compile command does

php bin/magento setup:di:compile --help

It will display output as below:
