Argile
, (*1)
Create, get, write options and autogenerated help messages for your CLI PHP applicationsā¦, (*2)
Basic usage about values and switches
Quick first simple example with only one switch:, (*3)
``` php
use Malenki\Argile\Options as Options;, (*4)
$opt = Options::getInstance();, (*5)
$opt->newSwitch('switch')
->short('s')
->help('I am a very simple switch arg with only short form.')
;, (*6)
$opt->parse();, (*7)
if($opt->has('switch'))
{
printf("\"switch\" arg selected!\n");
}
exit();, (*8)
So, if your PHP CLI application is into `yourapp` executable file, then you can call it like that:
$ yourapp -s
"switch" arg selected!, (*9)
Without options, calling it will give help message:
$ yourapp
Usage: complex.php [OPTIONS]ā¦, (*10)
-s I am a very simple switch arg with only short
form., (*11)
-h, --help Display this help message and exit, (*12)
Second example with switch, values, short, long and required options:
```php
use Malenki\Argile\Options as Options;
$opt = Options::getInstance();
$opt->newSwitch('switch')
->short('s')
->help('I am a very simple switch arg with only short form.')
;
$opt->newValue('foo')
->required()
->short('f')
->long('foo')
->help('I am a simple required arg with short and long forms.')
;
$opt->parse();
if($opt->has('switch'))
{
printf("\"switch\" arg selected!\n");
}
if($opt->has('foo'))
{
printf("\"foo\" arg selected! Its value is: \"%s\"\n", $opt->get('foo'));
}
exit();
Advanced usage of values and switches
You can customize variable name into help text of each option:, (*13)
use Malenki\Argile\Options as Options;
$opt = Options::getInstance();
$opt->newValue('foo')
->required()
->short('f')
->long('foo')
->help('I am a simple required value with short and long forms.', 'FILE')
;
//...
You can group options together. Easy, you have to create group, and when you create options, you put the group name has second argument:, (*14)
use Malenki\Argile\Options as Options;
$opt = Options::getInstance();
$opt->addGroup('one', 'Optional title for first group');
$opt->addGroup('two', 'Optional title for second group');
$opt->newSwitch('switch', 'one')
->short('s')
->help('I am a very simple switch arg with only short form.')
;
$opt->newValue('foo', 'one')
->required()
->short('f')
->long('foo')
->help('I am a simple required arg with short and long forms.')
;
$opt->newValue('bar', 'two')
->short('b')
->long('bar')
->help('I am a simple arg with short and long forms.')
;
//...
Later, if you can help, options will be grouped and group's name is shown if it has one., (*15)
Detect and get arguments
Detecting and getting arguments is simple, just use hasArgument() and getArguments() methods respectively. The second one returns an array., (*16)
You can define some informations about your app that will be used into help message:, (*17)
- Synopsis (you can add several synopsis lines, see example files)
- Version
- Description
More
You can have "flexible" help output message, that fit your terminal width, or you can leave at default with of 80 columns., (*18)
If you want this text adjustment, do just following:, (*19)
use Malenki\Argile\Options as Options;
$opt = Options::getInstance();
$opt->flexible(); // yes, that's all
// and add your options and other thingā¦
You can apply color and bold on labels and options:, (*20)
use Malenki\Argile\Options as Options;
$opt = Options::getInstance();
$opt->labelColor('red'); // color for labels
$opt->optColor('red'); // color for options
$opt->bold(); // labels and options becomes bold
// and add your options and other thingā¦
Colorsā names are the same as foreground colors defined into Ansi project., (*21)
To see Argile in action, please look at examples directory and run scripts inside it!, (*22)
