    klass.send(:get_options_from_invocations, groups, class_options)
  end
  super(shell, groups)
end

.desc(description = nil) ⇒ Object

The description for this Thor::Group. If none is provided, but a source root exists, tries to find the USAGE one folder above it, otherwise searches in the superclass.

Parameters

description<String>

.get_options_from_invocations(group_options, base_options) ⇒ Object

Get invocations array and merge options from invocations. Those options are added to group_options hash. Options that already exists in base_options are not added twice.

.invoke(*names, &block) ⇒ Object

  end
end

.invoke_from_option(*names, &block) ⇒ Object

Invoke a thor class based on the value supplied by the user to the given option named “name”. A class option must be created before this method is invoked for each name given.

Examples

class GemGenerator < Thor::Group
  class_option :test_framework, :type => :string
  invoke_from_option :test_framework
end

Boolean options

In some cases, you want to invoke a thor class if some option is true or false. This is automatically handled by invoke_from_option. Then the option name is used to invoke the generator.

Preparing for invocation

In some cases you want to customize how a specified hook is going to be invoked. You can do that by overwriting the class method prepare_for_invocation. The class method must necessarily return a klass and an optional task.

Custom invocations

You can also supply a block to customize how the option is giong to be invoked. The block receives two parameters, an instance of the current class and the klass to be invoked.
