FLAG_TYPES = [:flag, :bool, :boolean] ## The set of values that indicate a single-parameter (normal) option when ## passed as the +:type+ parameter of #opt. ## ## A value of +io+ corresponds to a readable IO resource, including ## a filename, URI, or the strings 'stdin' or '-'. SINGLE_ARG_TYPES = [:int, :integer, :string, :double, :float, :io, :date] ## The set of values that indicate a multiple-parameter option (i.e., that ## takes multiple space-separated values on the commandline) when passed as ## the +:type+ parameter of #opt. MULTI_ARG_TYPES = [:ints, :integers, :strings, :doubles, :floats, :ios, :dates] ## The complete set of legal values for the +:type+ parameter of #opt. TYPES = FLAG_TYPES + SINGLE_ARG_TYPES + MULTI_ARG_TYPES INVALID_SHORT_ARG_REGEX = /[\d-]/ #:nodoc: ## The values from the commandline that were not interpreted by #parse. attr_reader :leftovers ## The complete configuration hashes for each option. (Mainly useful ## for testing.) attr_reader :specs ## Initializes the parser, and instance-evaluates any block given. def initialize *a, &b @version = nil @leftovers = [] @specs = {} @long = {} @short = {} @order = [] @constraints = [] @stop_words = [] @stop_on_unknown = false #instance_eval(&b) if b # can't take arguments cloaker(&b).bind(self).call(*a) if b end ## Define an option. +name+ is the option name, a unique identifier ## for the option that you will use internally, which should be a ## symbol or a string. +desc+ is a string description which will be ## displayed in help messages. ## ## Takes the following optional arguments: ## ## [+:long+] Specify the long form of the argument, i.e. the form with two dashes. If unspecified, will be automatically derived based on the argument name by turning the +name+ option into a string, and replacing any _'s by -'s. ## [+:short+] Specify the short form of the argument, i.e. the form with one dash. If unspecified, will be automatically derived from +name+. ## [+:type+] Require that the argument take a parameter or parameters of type +type+. For a single parameter, the value can be a member of +SINGLE_ARG_TYPES+, or a corresponding Ruby class (e.g. +Integer+ for +:int+). For multiple-argument parameters, the value can be any member of +MULTI_ARG_TYPES+ constant. If unset, the default argument type is +:flag+, meaning that the argument does not take a parameter. The specification of +:type+ is not necessary if a +:default+ is given. ## [+:default+] Set the default value for an argument. Without a default value, the hash returned by #parse (and thus Trollop::options) will have a +nil+ value for this key unless the argument is given on the commandline. The argument type is derived automatically from the class of the default value given, so specifying a +:type+ is not necessary if a +:default+ is given. (But see below for an important caveat when +:multi+: is specified too.) If the argument is a flag, and the default is set to +true+, then if it is specified on the the commandline the value will be +false+. ## [+:required+] If set to +true+, the argument must be provided on the commandline. ## [+:multi+] If set to +true+, allows multiple occurrences of the option on the commandline. Otherwise, only a single instance of the option is allowed. (Note that this is different from taking multiple parameters. See below.) ## ## Note that there are two types of argument multiplicity: an argument ## can take multiple values, e.g. "--arg 1 2 3". An argument can also ## be allowed to occur multiple times, e.g. "--arg 1 --arg 2". ## ## Arguments that take multiple values should have a +:type+ parameter ## drawn from +MULTI_ARG_TYPES+ (e.g. +:strings+), or a +:default:+ ## value of an array of the correct type (e.g. [String]). The ## value of this argument will be an array of the parameters on the ## commandline. ## ## Arguments that can occur multiple times should be marked with ## +:multi+ => +true+. The value of this argument will also be an array. ## In contrast with regular non-multi options, if not specified on ## the commandline, the default value will be [], not nil. ## ## These two attributes can be combined (e.g. +:type+ => +:strings+, ## +:multi+ => +true+), in which case the value of the argument will be ## an array of arrays. ## ## There's one ambiguous case to be aware of: when +:multi+: is true and a ## +:default+ is set to an array (of something), it's ambiguous whether this ## is a multi-value argument as well as a multi-occurrence argument. ## In thise case, Trollop assumes that it's not a multi-value argument. ## If you want a multi-value, multi-occurrence argument with a default ## value, you must specify +:type+ as well. def opt name, desc="", opts={} raise ArgumentError, "you already have an argument named '#{name}'" if @specs.member? name ## fill in :type opts[:type] = # normalize case opts[:type] when :boolean, :bool; :flag when :integer; :int when :integers; :ints when :double; :float when :doubles; :floats when Class case opts[:type].name when 'TrueClass', 'FalseClass'; :flag when 'String'; :string when 'Integer'; :int when 'Float'; :float when 'IO'; :io when 'Date'; :date else raise ArgumentError, "unsupported argument type '#{opts[:type].class.name}'" end when nil; nil else raise ArgumentError, "unsupported argument type '#{opts[:type]}'" unless TYPES.include?(opts[:type]) opts[:type] end ## for options with :multi => true, an array default doesn't imply ## a multi-valued argument. for that you have to specify a :type ## as well.
