- Allow using a var that points to a map as a command specification
- Add missing require for
clojure.pprint
- Added
:coll?
flagopt for flags that can be specified multiple times - Correctly print multiline flag docstrings
- Make sure
cli/*opts*
reflects what the main command receives
- Allow
:init
also on nested subcommands, gets merged into top level init. Flags are processed afterwards, so this is good way to set initial data that flags can filter/change - Flags handlers can now be specified directly as vars, the docstring is used as flag doc
- Fix generated help text when subcommand is not recognized
- When catching a top-level exception, print the ex-data, if any
- If the ex-data contains an
:exit
key, use that as exit code instead of 1 - Rework the help layout be more man-page-like
- Show correct help for subcommands
- Change the help layout to be man-page style
- When catching a top-level exception, print the ex-data (if any)
- Use the
:exit
in the ex-data as exit code (1 otherwise)
- Better help messages: say why we are showing the help (no such command, missing positional args)
- Exit with error message if conditional arguments are missing
- Added
:required
for:flags
- Support commands with arguments and subcommands at the same time
- Remove debug call
-h
can now be used to get help, in addition to--help
- When encountering parse errors (invalid arguments), print a message and exit, rather than throwing (which looks quite ugly from a bb script)
- Allow a command spec to be just a function
- Preserve command order in help text when using a vector
- Bind the options map to
cli/*opts*
, for easy access. - Show the default for a flag in the help text.
- Add a docstring to the main entry point (
dispatch
) - Bind
*opts*
during flag handler execution
- Recognize
-
and\\--foo
as positional args
- When given both a
:default
and a:handler
for a flag, call the handler with the default, rather than just assoc-ing it. - When given a string
:default
and a:parse
function for a flag, run the default value through the parse function, rather than using it directly. Using the unparsed string form for the default is preferable over for instance using a keyword, since it leads to better help text rendering. - Improve and document the processing logic, especially when it comes to subcommand flags with handler functions.
Much expanded and improved version, see README for all details. This is approaching the envisioned scope for this library.
- take docstring/command from var
:strict?
mode:handler
and:middleware
on flags- Much improved help text rendering
- More lenient flag parsing
- Add
:default
and:parse
- Handle named command arguments
- Support
--flag FOO
and--flag=<foo>
(and--flag <foo>
) - Boolean flags count by default, e.g.
-vvv
=>{:verbose 3}
- Command handlers take a single unified map
- subcommand handling
- rudimentary flag handling
- help text generation
