== DESCRIPTION: Commander is a small framework for creating a sub-command utility. For example a sub command would be 'git add' or 'git rm', where 'add' and 'rm' are sub commands. == FEATURES: * Sub-commands * Auto-generated help documentation globally and per sub-command * Simple syntax and implementation * Extensible help generators for various output formats * Use the 'commander' command to initialize a commander driven program * Dependent on highline for terminal interaction (ask, choose, etc) == USAGE: require 'commander' init_commander( :name => 'Commander', :version => Commander::VERSION, :description => 'Commander utility program.' ) command :init do |c| c.syntax = 'commander init ' c.description = 'Initialize an empty file with a commander skeleton.' c.example 'Apply commander to a blank file.', 'commander init ./bin/my_executable' c.option('-r', '--recursive', 'Do something recursively') { puts "I am recursive." } c.option('-v', '--verbose', 'Do something verbosely') { puts "I am verbose." } c.when_called do |args| list = ask 'List some items:', Array # Do something with list end end == KNOWN ISSUES: * none == TODO: * look at newgem gem and copy the whole 'create ./path' verbose listing conventions * do testing for these apps like highline does with mock IO * look at highline examples and change commander commands to work without new-lines etc * more / better documentation * help generator options (such as large option description etc) * help generators should use erb * refactor == LICENSE: (The MIT License) Copyright (c) 2008 FIX Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the 'Software'), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.
