(Rust) commands tree.
See the rs docs.

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") .begin_class("inner-class1", "nested class!") .add_action("name", "print class name", |mut wtr, _args| {
writeln!(wtr, "inner-class1",).unwrap()
})
.end_class()
.end_class() .begin_class("print", "pertains to printing stuff") .add_action("echo", "repeat stuff", |mut wtr, args| {
writeln!(wtr, "{}", args.join(" ")).unwrap()
})
.add_action("countdown", "countdown from a number", |mut wtr, args| {
if args.len() != 1 {
println!("need one number",);
} else {
match str::parse::<u32>(args[0]) {
Ok(n) => {
for i in (0..=n).rev() {
writeln!(wtr, "{}", i).unwrap();
}
}
Err(_) => writeln!(wtr, "expecting a number!",).unwrap(),
}
}
})
.into_commander() .unwrap();
cmder.run(); }
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!
