(Rust) commands tree.

See the rs docs. Look at progress and contribute on github.

cmdtree

Create a tree-like data structure of commands and actions to add an intuitive and interactive experience to an application. cmdtree uses a builder pattern to make constructing the tree ergonomic.

Example

extern crate cmdtree;
use cmdtree::*;

fn main() {
    let cmder = Builder::default_config("cmdtree-example")
        .begin_class("class1", "class1 help message")	// a class
        .begin_class("inner-class1", "nested class!")	// can nest a class
        .add_action("name", "print class name", |_| println!("inner-class1",))
        .end_class()
        .end_class()	// closes out the classes
        .begin_class("print", "pertains to printing stuff")	// start another class sibling to `class1`
        .add_action("echo", "repeat stuff", |args| {
            println!("{}", args.join(" "))
        })
        .add_action("countdown", "countdown from a number", |args| {
            if args.len() != 1 {
                println!("need one number",);
            } else {
                match str::parse::<u32>(args[0]) {
                    Ok(n) => {
                        for i in (0..=n).rev() {
                            println!("{}", i);
                        }
                    }
                    Err(_) => println!("expecting a number!",),
                }
            }
        })
        .into_commander()	// can short-circuit the closing out of classes
        .unwrap();

    cmder.run(); // run interactively
}

Now run and in your shell:

cmdtree-example=> help						<-- Will print help messages
help -- prints the help messages
cancel | c -- returns to the root class
exit -- sends the exit signal to end the interactive loop
Classes:
        class1 -- class1 help message
        print -- pertains to printing stuff
cmdtree-example=> print						<-- Can navigate the tree
cmdtree-example.print=> help
help -- prints the help messages
cancel | c -- returns to the root class
exit -- sends the exit signal to end the interactive loop
Actions:
        echo -- repeat stuff
        countdown -- countdown from a number
cmdtree-example.print=> echo hello, world!	<-- Call the actions
hello, world!
cmdtree-example.print=> countdown
need one number
cmdtree-example.print=> countdown 10

cmdtree-example.print=> exit			<-- exit the loop!
