module Boson # This module contains the methods used to define the default option types. # # === Creating Your Own Option Type # Defining your own option type simply requires one method (create_@type) to # parse the option value and create the desired object. To create an option # type :date, you could create the following create_date method: # # Drop this in ~/.bosonrc # module Boson::Options::Date # def create_date(value) # # value should be mm/dd # Date.parse(value + "/#{Date.today.year}") # end # end # Boson::OptionParser.send :include, Boson::Options::Date # # In a Library, we could then use this new option: # class Calendar < Boson::Runner # options :day=>:date # def appointments(options={}) # # ... # end # end # # >> appointments '-d 10/10' -> {:day=># } # As you can see, a date object is created from the :date option's value and # passed into appointments(). # # Some additional tips on the create_* method: # * The argument passed to the method is the option value from the user. # * To access the current option name use @current_option. # * To access the hash of attributes the current option has use # OptionParser.current_attributes. See OptionParser.new for more about # option attributes. # # There are two optional methods per option type: validate_@type and # usage_for_@type i.e. validate_date and usage_for_date. Like create_@type, # validate_@type takes the option's value. If the value validation fails, # raise an OptionParser::Error with a proper message. All user-defined option # types automatically validate for an option value's existence. The # usage_for_* method takes an option's name (i.e. --day) and returns a usage # string to be wrapped in '[ ]'. If no usage is defined the default would look # like '[--day=:date]'. Consider using the OptionParser#default_usage helper # method for your usage. module Options # Parse/create methods def create_string(value) if (values = current_attributes[:values]) && (values = values.sort_by {|e| e.to_s}) value = auto_alias_value(values, value) validate_enum_values(values, value) end value end def create_boolean(value) if (!@opt_types.key?(dasherize(@current_option)) && @current_option =~ /^no-(\w+)$/) opt = (opt = original_no_opt($1)) ? undasherize(opt) : $1 (@current_option.replace(opt) && false) else true end end def create_numeric(value) value.index('.') ? value.to_f : value.to_i end def create_array(value) splitter = current_attributes[:split] || ',' array = value.split(splitter) if (values = current_attributes[:values]) && (values = values.sort_by {|e| e.to_s }) if current_attributes[:regexp] array = array.map {|e| (new_values = values.grep(/#{e}/)).empty? ? e : new_values }.compact.flatten.uniq else array.each {|e| array.delete(e) && array += values if e == '*'} array.map! {|e| auto_alias_value(values, e) } end validate_enum_values(values, array) end array end def create_hash(value) (keys = current_attributes[:keys]) && keys = keys.sort_by {|e| e.to_s } hash = parse_hash(value, keys) if keys hash = hash.inject({}) {|h,(k,v)| h[auto_alias_value(keys, k)] = v; h } validate_enum_values(keys, hash.keys) end hash end def parse_hash(value, keys) splitter = current_attributes[:split] || ',' if !value.include?(':') && current_attributes[:default_keys] value = current_attributes[:default_keys].to_s + ":#{value}" end # Creates array pairs, grouping array of keys with a value aoa = Hash[*value.split( /(?::)([^#{Regexp.quote(splitter)}]+)#{Regexp.quote(splitter)}?/ )].to_a if keys aoa.each_with_index {|(k,v),i| aoa[i][0] = keys.join(splitter) if k == '*' } end aoa.inject({}) {|t,(k,v)| k.split(splitter).each {|e| t[e] = v }; t } end # Validation methods def validate_string(value) if valid?(value) raise OptionParser::Error, "cannot pass '#{value}' as an argument to option '#{@current_option}'" end end def validate_numeric(value) unless value =~ OptionParser::NUMERIC and $& == value raise OptionParser::Error, "expected numeric value for option '#{@current_option}'; got " + value.inspect end end def validate_hash(value) if !value.include?(':') && !current_attributes[:default_keys] raise OptionParser::Error, "invalid key:value pair for option '#{@current_option}'" end end # Usage methods def usage_for_boolean(opt) opt end def usage_for_string(opt) default_usage(opt, undasherize(opt).upcase) end def usage_for_numeric(opt) default_usage opt, "N" end def usage_for_array(opt) default_usage opt, "A,B,C" end def usage_for_hash(opt) default_usage opt, "A:B,C:D" end end end Boson::OptionParser.send :include, Boson::Options
