*Command line argument parser. Bouncer does **all the heavy lifting** for you. Dive into **business logic** in no time.*
Synopsis
Parse
git-mock init . -q --bare --separate-git-dir=../git_dir --shared --template ../template/git-templateand grab values.
let directory = operands[optional: 0]
let quiet = optionValues.have(quietOption)
let bare = optionValues.have(bareOption)
let templateDirectory = optionValues.findOptionalArgument(for: templateOption)
let gitDirectory = optionValues.findOptionalArgument(for: separateGitDirOption)
let shared = optionValues.findOptionalArgument(for: sharedOption)Installation
Add Bouncer to Package.swift.
dependencies: [
.package(url: "https://github.com/flintbox/Bouncer", from: "0.1.2")
]Now import!
import Bouncer
let program = Program(commands: [])Component
Option
Configuration for option like --path, -h, --path ./temp or -p./temp. Check regular expressions for matching option in OptionNameRegex.swift.
Property | Type | Description -------- | ---- | ----------- name | String | Name of option ([[:alnum:]\-]+). shortName | Character? | Short name of option. optional | Bool | If option is optional or not for the command. Used for validation. argumentType | OptionArgumentType | Option argument type. None, optional, optional with default value or required.
Operand
Basically, all of arguments following command are operands. Of course, except options and option arguments.
Command
Configuration for command.
Property | Type | Description -------- | ---- | ----------- name | [String] | Name of the command. Sub command can be easily expressed like ["container", "start"]. operandType | OperandType | Operand type. Define command accepts how many operands. options | [Option] | Available options. handler | CommandHandler | This block will be called with validated operands and option values. There are extensions for getting specific values from operand value array and option value array.
Program
Program is initialized with commands. Use program object to parse and run command.
