42
- This example demonstrates most of the features of GLI.
43
-
44
- The following sets you up to use the DSL that GLI defines:
45
-
46
- #!/usr/bin/ruby
47
- $: << File.expand_path(File.dirname(File.realpath(__FILE__)) + '/../lib')
48
-
49
- require 'gli'
50
- require 'gli_version'
51
-
52
- include GLI
53
-
54
- The following sets the version of your application for exposure in the default <tt>help</tt> subcommand (the VERSION constant was created by the scaffolding):
55
-
56
- version GLI::VERSION
57
-
58
- The following sets a description of your program. This can be as long as you want.
59
-
60
- program_description 'Support program for bootstrapping GLI-based programs'
61
-
62
- The following sets a config file for your program. The config file can be used to store default values for command
63
- line options and command-specific options on a per-user (or per-site) basis. The format is YAML-based.
64
- Using an absolute path will result in the configuraiton file being located there. Without an absolute path,
65
- the file will be located relative to the current user's home directory (which is what is being done here).
66
-
67
- config_file '.glirc'
68
-
69
- The following describes a command line switch "-n" that is global to all commands and specified before
70
- the command name on the command line.
71
-
72
- desc 'Dry run; don\'t change the disk'
73
- switch :n
74
-
75
- The following describes a command line flag that is global and has a default value of '<tt>.</tt>' (in GLI parlance,
76
- a "flag" is a command line switch that takes an option). It also
77
- specifies a short and long description of its argument. This is used to print command line help and to generate
78
- rdoc documentation. Note that we
79
- have specified two different aliases for this flag. <tt>-r</tt> (because it is listed first) is the default
80
- one and <tt>--root</tt> (note two-dash syntax) is also supported. This means that <tt>-r some_dir</tt> and <tt>--root=some_dir</tt> mean
81
- the same thing to the application, but that your code should look for <tt>:r</tt>.
82
-
83
- desc 'Root dir in which to create project'
84
- long_desc 'This is the location where your project ill be created. A subdirectory named for your project will be created here, and THAT directory will contain the generated files'
85
- default_value '.'
86
- arg_name 'root_dir'
87
- flag [:r,:root]
88
-
89
- Next, we specify a command. Inside the block we can use the same sorts of things as we did above to define flags
90
- and switches specific to the command. These must come after the command name. Also note that we use <tt>arg_name</tt>
91
- here to describe the arguments this command accepts.
92
-
93
- desc 'Create a new GLI-based project'
94
- arg_name 'project_name [command[ command]*]'
95
- command [:init,:scaffold] do |c|
96
-
97
- c.desc 'Create an ext dir'
98
- c.switch [:e,:ext]
99
-
100
- c.desc 'Overwrite/ignore existing files and directories'
101
- c.switch [:force]
102
-
103
- Next, while we are still inside the <tt>command</tt> block,
104
- we specify the actual code to execute when the command is chosen by the user. We define a block that
105
- will be given the global options (as a Hash), the command-specific options (as a Hash) and the command
106
- line arguments. The hashes keys are symbols based upon the switches and flags. For a switch or
107
- flag named "-r", we would use <tt>:r</tt>. Note that if you gave multiple values for one flag, e.g. <tt>flag [:f,:force]</tt>
108
- then both <tt>:f</tt> and <tt>:force</tt> would be set to the same value; this lets you use more readable
109
- keynames in your code when parsing options, but still provide terse flags to the user.
110
-
111
- c.action do |global_options,options,args|
112
- if args.length < 1
113
- raise 'You must specify the name of your project'
114
- end
115
- Scaffold.create_scaffold(global_options[:r],
116
- !options[:notest],
117
- options[:e],
118
- args[0],
119
- args[1..-1],
120
- options[:force],
121
- global_options[:n])
122
- end
123
- end
124
-
125
- You can also specify some global code to run before, after and on errors:
126
-
127
- pre do |global_options,command,options,args|
128
- puts "After parsing, but before #{command.name} is run"
129
- return true
130
- # return false if we want to skip command execution for some reason,
131
- # such as some global precondition not having been met
132
- end
133
-
134
- post do |global_options,command,options,args|
135
- puts "After successful execution of #{command.name}"
136
- end
137
-
138
- on_error do |ex|
139
- puts "We got an error"
140
- return true # does the standard error handling code
141
- # return false # this would skip standard error handling code
142
- end
143
-
144
- Now, we run the program using the arguments the user provided on the command line
145
-
146
- run(ARGV)
147
-
148
- Note that by using <tt>gli init</tt> you can create a shell with all of this already there for you.
149
-
150
- What this gives you:
151
-
152
- * A reasonably useful help system. <tt>your_program help</tt> will list all the global options and commands (along with command aliases) and <tt>your_program help command_name</tt> will list help for that given command.
153
- * Error handling when flags do not receive arguments or unknown flags or switches are given
154
- * Error handling when an unknown command is specified
155
- * Default values for flags if they are not specified by the user (switches all default to false)
156
- * An easy way to allow user or site-specific defaults for options via a config file for your app
157
- * Nice RDoc describing how to use your application (you can see an example in the {rdoc version of this file}[http://davetron5000.github.com/gli] for the <tt>gli</tt> command)
158
-
159
- What this doesn't give you:
160
-
161
- * A way to indicate required flags
162
- * A way to indicate a required argument or required number of arguments
163
- * A way to do default switches to 'true' and therefore accept things like <tt>--no-force</tt>
164
- * A way to have repeated flags turn into an array or other type-transforming things
165
-
166
- == Configuration File
167
-
168
- The configuration file format is a very simple means of customizing the execution of your command on a per-user
169
- or per-site basis. The idea is that commonly used values that aren't the commands' default can be stored in the configuration
170
- file so that users do not need to specify them on the command line. The search order for the value of a particular
171
- flag then becomes:
172
-
173
- 1. Command line invocation
174
- 2. Configuration File value
175
- 3. Default value in the application
176
-
177
- Note that since there is no way to switch _off_ switches, setting them to default to true in the configuration file
178
- cannot be "undone" on the command line. A future version may allow this.
179
-
180
- The configuration file format is YAML based and can be bootstrapped via the +initconfig+ command to your application.
181
- This command is automatically created and added to your application's commands when you declare that there is a
182
- config file. When invoked, all global options set on the command line are configured
183
- inside the configuration file. Further, a blank area for each
184
- command of your application is created, to allow the user edit the config file ith command-specific default values.
185
- ---
186
- # Global options are here
187
- :f: foo
188
- :g: blah
189
- # Command-specific options are under 'commands'
190
- commands:
191
- # defaults for the "doit" command
192
- :doit:
193
- :g: bar
194
- :s: true
195
- # defaults for the "gonow" command
196
- :gonow:
197
- :g: foobar
198
- :f: barfoo
199
-
200
- This allows you to design your application to have it's behavior _entirely_ affected by command line options, with sensible
201
- defaults stored in a configuration file.
202
-
203
- == Generating RDoc
204
-
205
- All gli-based applications include a "hidden" command named <tt>rdoc</tt>. When you execute this command, a file called <tt>yourapp.rdoc</tt>
206
- is created in the current directory. This contains a rdoc-formatted helpfile for your command line application. This can be useful
207
- in packaging your application to share with others. This is also the only place in which the <tt>long_desc</tt> values are currently
208
- used.
209
-
210
- If your application has a <tt>README.rdoc</tt> already, you can simply add <tt>:include:yourapp.rdoc</tt> to the bottom and it will
211
- be included when you generate and publish your rdoc (note that it will *not* show up on github).
212
-
213
- == Bash Completion
214
-
215
- The +help+ command takes an optional switch, +-c+, that will list all the commands (including aliases) in sorted order suitable for use in a bash completion script. When +-c+ is specified, the argument can be a partial command, and +help+ will only list the commands matching. Put this in your +.bashrc+:
216
-
217
- complete -F get_myapp_targets myapp
218
- function get_myapp_targets()
219
- {
220
- if [ -z $2 ] ; then
221
- COMPREPLY=(`myapp help -c`)
222
- else
223
- COMPREPLY=(`myapp help -c $2`)
224
- fi
225
- }
226
-
227
- Now, suppose your app takes the commands +list+, +ls+, +rm+, +add+, and +init+:
228
-
229
- > myapp <TAB>
230
- add init list ls rm
231
- > myapp l<TAB>
232
- list ls
233

234
- == Reference
235
-
236
-
237
- [+action+] Specify the action to take when a command is executed from the command line. This is only usable in a command block on the command object (e.g. <tt>c.action</tt>). This takes a block that yields three parameters: a hash of global options specified on the commandline, a hash of command-specific options specified on the command line, and an array of arguments parsed after the options were set on the command line. So, a command like <tt>git --git-dir=/tmp commit -a -m 'Foo bar' foo.c bar.c</tt> would result in the global hash containing <tt>:'git-dir' => '/tmp'</tt>, the options hash containing <tt>:a => true, :m => 'Foo bar'</tt> and the arguments array being <tt>['foo.c', 'bar.c']</tt>
238
- [+arg_name+] Describe the name of the argument to the next flag or command. This can be used at the global level or inside a command block on the command object (e.g. <tt>c.arg_name</tt>)
239
- [+config_file+] Name the configuration file for your applicaiton. This can either be an absolute path to where the applicaiton will find the configuration file, or a relative path, that will be interpretted as relative to the user's home directory. Default is +nil+, which means no configuration file will be used. Declaring this creates a special +initconfig+ command that can bootstrap this configuration file for your users.
240
- [+command+] Declare a command. This takes a symbol, String or array of symbols/Strings and a block. The block yields one argument, the command itself.
241
- [+default_value+] Indicate the default value of the next flag. This can be used at the global level or inside a command block on the command object (e.g. <tt>c.default_value</tt>)
242
- [+desc+] Describe the next flag, switch, or command you will declare. This can be used at the global level or inside a command block on the command object (e.g. <tt>c.desc</tt>)
243
- [+flag+] Declare a flag, which is a command line switch that takes an argument. This takes either a symbol, String, or an array of symbols/Strings. The first symbol decared is used in your program to determine the flag's value at runtime. This can be used at the global level or inside a command block on the command object (e.g. <tt>c.flag</tt>)
244
- [+long_desc+] Provide a more lengthy description of the next flag, switch, or command you will declare. This will appear in command line output for commands when you get help for a command. For flags and switches, this will only appear in the generated rdoc and *not* on the command line. This can be used at the global level or inside a command block on the command object (e.g. <tt>c.long_desc</tt>)
245
- [+on_error+] Declare an error handling routine that will be called if any command (or other GLI processing) encouters an exception. This is a block that will receive the exception that was caught. All exceptions are routed through this block. If the block evaluates to true, the built-in error handling will be called after, otherwise, nothing will happen.
246
- [+post+] Declare code to run after every command that didn't experience an error. This is not available inside a command block. This takes a block that will receive four arguments: the global argument hash (as in <tt>action</tt>), the command (instance of Command), the command-specific options (as in <tt>action</tt>, and the parsed command line arguments (as in <tt>action</tt>).
247
- [+pre+] Declare code to run before every command. This is not available inside a command block. This takes a block that will receive four arguments: the global argument hash (as in <tt>action</tt>), the command (instance of Command), the command-specific options (as in <tt>action</tt>, and the parsed command line arguments (as in <tt>action</tt>). If this block evaluates to false, the command will not be executed and the program will stop.
248
- [+switch+] Declare a switch, which is a command-line switch taking no argument that indicates a boolean "true" when specified on the command line. This takes either a symbol, String or array of symbols/Strings. The first symbol declared is used in your program to determine if the switch was set. This can be used at the global level or inside a command block on the command object (e.g. <tt>c.switch</tt>)
249
- [+version+] Indicate the verison of your application/library. This is used by the default <tt>help</tt> command to allow users to see the version of your application.
250
-
251
- == Interface Generated
252
-
253
- The command line interface that is created with the GLI DSL is:
254
-
255
- *executable* <i>global options and flags</i> *command* <i>command specific options and flags</i> `arguments`
256
-
257
- [switch] a command line control string that takes no argument. The <tt>-l</tt> in <tt>ls -l</tt>
258
- [flag] a switch that takes an argument. The <tt>-d' '</tt> in <tt>cut -d' ' file</tt>
259
- [command] the command to execute. The <tt>rebase</tt> in <tt>git rebase</tt>
260
- [arguments] Anything that's not a switch, flag, or command. The <tt>main.c</tt> in <tt>git add main.c</tt>
261
-
262
- === Switches
263
-
264
- Switches can be specified one at a time in either a long or short format:
265
-
266
- git add -i
267
- git add --interactive
268
-
269
- Switches can also be combined in their short form:
270
-
271
- ls -l -a
272
- ls -la
273
-
274
- === Flags
275
-
276
- Flags can be specified in long or short form, and with or without an equals:
277
-
278
- git merge -s resolve
279
- git merge --strategy=resolve
280
-
281
- === Stop Switch
282
-
283
- A <tt>--</tt> at any time stops processing and sends the rest of the argument to the command as arguments, even if
284
- they start with a "--"
