Demo
Please check examples/demo.php
.
Run:
% php examples/demo.php -f test -b 123 -b 333
Print:
* Available options:
-f, --foo <value> option requires a value.
-b, --bar <value>+ option with multiple value.
-z, --zoo [<value>] option with optional value.
-v, --verbose verbose message.
-d, --debug debug message.
--long long option name only.
-s short option name only.
Enabled options:
* key:foo spec:-f, --foo <value> desc:option requires a value.
value => test
* key:bar spec:-b, --bar <value>+ desc:option with multiple value.
Array
(
[0] => 123

Option Value Type
The option value type help you validate the input, the following list is the current supported types:
string
number
boolean
file
date
url
email
ip
ipv4
ipv6
regex
And here is the related sample code:
$opt->add( 'f|foo:' , 'with string type value' )
->isa('string');
$opt->add( 'b|bar+' , 'with number type value' )
->isa('number');
$opt->add( 'z|zoo?' , 'with boolean type value' )
->isa('boolean');
$opt->add( 'file:' , 'with file type value' )
->isa('file');
$opt->add( 'date:' , 'with date type value' )
->isa('date');
$opt->add( 'url:' , 'with url type value' )
->isa('url');
$opt->add( 'email:' , 'with email type value' )
->isa('email');
$opt->add( 'ip:' , 'with ip(v4/v6) type value' )
->isa('ip');
$opt->add( 'ipv4:' , 'with ipv4 type value' )
->isa('ipv4');
$opt->add( 'ipv6:' , 'with ipv6 type value' )
->isa('ipv6');
$specs->add('r|regex:', 'with custom regex type value')
->isa('Regex', '/^([a-z]+)$/');
Please note that currently only
string
,number
,boolean
types can be validated.
ContinuousOptionParser
$specs = new OptionCollection;
$spec_verbose = $specs->add('v|verbose');
$spec_color = $specs->add('c|color');
$spec_debug = $specs->add('d|debug');
$spec_verbose->description = 'verbose flag';
// ContinuousOptionParser
$parser = new ContinuousOptionParser( $specs );
$result = $parser->parse(explode(' ','program -v -d test -a -b -c subcommand -e -f -g subcommand2'));
$result2 = $parser->continueParse();
OptionPrinter
GetOptionKit\OptionPrinter can print options for you:
* Available options:
-f, --foo option requires a value.
-b, --bar option with multiple value.
-z, --zoo option with optional value.
-v, --verbose verbose message.
-d, --debug debug message.
--long long option name only.
-s short option name only.
Command-line app with subcommands
For application with subcommands is designed by following form:
[app name] [app opts]
[subcommand1] [subcommand-opts]
[subcommand2] [subcommand-opts]
[subcommand3] [subcommand-opts]
[arguments]
You can check the tests/GetOptionKit/ContinuousOptionParserTest.php
unit test file:
// subcommand stack
$subcommands = array('subcommand1','subcommand2','subcommand3');
// different command has its own options
$subcommandSpecs = array(
'subcommand1' => $cmdspecs,
'subcommand2' => $cmdspecs,
'subcommand3' => $cmdspecs,
);
// for saved options
$subcommandOptions = array();
// command arguments
$arguments = array();
$argv = explode(' ','program -v -d -c subcommand1 -a -b -c subcommand2 -c subcommand3 arg1 arg2 arg3');
// parse application options first
$parser = new ContinuousOptionParser( $appspecs );
$app_options = $parser->parse( $argv );
while (! $parser->isEnd()) {
if (@$subcommands[0] && $parser->getCurrentArgument() == $subcommands[0]) {
$parser->advance();
$subcommand = array_shift( $subcommands );
$parser->setSpecs( $subcommandSpecs[$subcommand] );
$subcommandOptions[ $subcommand ] = $parser->continueParse();
} else {
$arguments[] = $parser->advance();
}
}
Todo
- Option Spec group.
- option valid value checking.
- custom command mapping.
Command Line Utility Design Concept
- main program name should be easy to type, easy to remember.
- subcommand should be easy to type, easy to remember. length should be shorter than 7 characters.
- options should always have long descriptive name
- a program should be easy to check usage.
General command interface
To list usage of all subcommands or the program itself:
$ prog help
To list the subcommand usage
$ prog help subcommand subcommand2 subcommand3
