Struct SubCommandParser 

pub struct SubCommandParser<'a, B: Display> { /* private fields */ }

The sub-command parser.

Implementations

impl<'a, B: FromStr + Display + PartialEq> SubCommandParser<'a, B>

pub fn command( self, variant: B, setup_fn: impl FnOnce(SubCommand<'a>) -> SubCommand<'a>, ) -> Self

Setup a sub-command.

Sub-commands may be added arbitrarily, as long as the correspond to the branching type B. If repeated for the same variant of B, only the final version will be created on the parser. The order of sub-commands does not affect the command parser semantics.

Example

use blarg::{CommandLineParser, Condition, Parameter, Scalar};

let mut value_a: u32 = 0;
let mut value_b: u32 = 0;
let mut sub_command: String = "".to_string();
let parser = CommandLineParser::new("program")
    .branch(Condition::new(Scalar::new(&mut sub_command), "sub_command"))
    .command("a".to_string(), |sub| sub.add(Parameter::argument(Scalar::new(&mut value_a), "value_a")))
    .command("b".to_string(), |sub| {
        sub.about("Description for the sub-command 'b'.")
            .add(Parameter::argument(Scalar::new(&mut value_b), "value_b"))
    })
    .build();

parser.parse_tokens(vec!["a", "1"].as_slice()).unwrap();

assert_eq!(&sub_command, "a");
assert_eq!(value_a, 1);
assert_eq!(value_b, 0);

pub fn build_parser(self) -> Result<GeneralParser<'a>, ConfigError>

Build the sub-command based command line parser as a Result. This finalizes the configuration and checks for errors (ex: a repeated parameter name).

pub fn build(self) -> GeneralParser<'a>

Build the sub-command based command line parser. This finalizes the configuration and checks for errors (ex: a repeated parameter name). If an error is encountered, exits with error code 1 (via std::process::exit).
