#arg(name, description, opts) ⇒ Object

Declares an argument

Use this method to declare arguments the command accepts.

For example:

```ruby
class GitPush < Cl::Cmd
  arg remote, 'The Git remote to push to.', type: :string
end
```

Arguments do not need to be declared, in order to be passed to the Cmd instance, but it is useful to do so for more explicit help output, and in order to define extra properties on the arguments (e.g. their type).

Parameters:

  • name (String)

    the argument name

  • description (String)

    description for the argument, shown in the help output

  • opts (Hash)

    argument options

Options Hash (opts):

  • :type (Symbol)

    the argument type (‘:array`, `:string`, `:integer`, `:float`, `:boolean`)

  • :required (Boolean)

    whether the argument is required

  • :sep (String)

    separator to split strings by, if the argument is an array

  • :splat (Boolean)

    whether to splat the argument, if the argument is an array

def args(*args)
  return @args ||= superclass.respond_to?(:args) ? superclass.args.dup : Args.new unless args.any?
  opts = args.last.is_a?(Hash) ? args.pop : {}
  args.each { |arg| arg(arg, opts) }
end

#description(description = nil) ⇒ String

Declare a description for this command

This is the description that will be shown in the command details help output.

For example:

```ruby
class Api::Login < Cl::Cmd
  description <<~str
    Use this command to login to our API.
    [...]
  str
end
```

Returns:

  • (String)

    the description if no argument was given

def description(description = nil)
  description ? @description = description : @description
end

#examples(examples = nil) ⇒ String

Declare an example text for this command

This is the example text that will be shown in the command details help output.

For example:

```ruby
class Api::Login < Cl::Cmd
  example <<~str
    For example, in order to login to our API with your username and
    password, you can use:

      ./api --username [username] --password [password]
  str
end
```

Returns:

  • (String)

    the description if no argument was given

    deprecation message for the option, or if given a Symbol, deprecated alias name

  • :downcase (Boolean)

    whether to downcase the option value

  • :upcase (Boolean)

  • :format (Regexp)

    acceptable option value format

  • :internal (Boolean)

    whether to hide the option from help output

  • :min (Numeric)

This collection is being inherited from super classes.

def opts
  @opts ||= self == Cmd ? Opts.new : superclass.opts.dup
end

#required(*required) ⇒ Object

Declare alternative option requirements.

Alternative (combinations of) options can be required. These need to be declared on the class body.

For example,

```ruby
class Api::Login < Cl::Cmd
  # DNF, read as: api_key OR username AND password
  required :api_key, [:username, :password]

  opt '--api_key KEY'
  opt '--username NAME'
  opt '--password PASS'
end
```

Will require either the option ‘api_key`, or both the options `username` and `password`.

See [this section](/#Required_Options) for a full explanation of how alternative option requirements can be used.

# File 'lib/cl/dsl.rb', line 160

def required(*required)
  required.any? ? self.required << required : @required ||= []
end

#required?Boolean

Whether any alternative option requirements have been declared.

See [this section](/#Required_Options) for a full explanation of how alternative option requirements can be used.

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

For example:

```ruby
class Api::Login < Cl::Cmd

Returns:

  • (String)

    the summary if no argument was given
