Command::Do - Simple Command-Line Interfaces
=head1 VERSION
version 0.120004
=head1 SYNOPSIS
in lib/YourCmd.pm
package YourCmd;
use Command::Do;
field name => {
alias => 'n',
filters => ['trim', 'strip', 'titlecase'],
default => 'Gorgeous'
};
command compliment => sub {
my ($self, $options, $args) = @_;
if ($self->validate('name')) {
printf "You sure have a nice name, %s\n", $self->name;
}
};
command sub {
my ($self, $options, $args) = @_;
print "Usage: $0 compliment --name=NAME\n";
};
in yourcmd:
use YourCmd;
YourCmd->new->execute;
and, finally, on the command line:
$ yourcmd
Usage: ./yourcmd compliment --name=NAME
$ yourcmd compliment
You sure have a nice name, Gorgeous
$ yourcmd compliment --name=handsome
You sure have a nice name, Handsome
$ yourcmd compliment -n=beautiful
You sure have a nice name, Beautiful
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Command::Do is a simple toolkit for building simple yet sophisticated
command-line applications. It includes very little magic, executes quickly,
and is useful when creating, validating, executing, and organizing command-line
applications and actions. Command::Do inherits most of its functionality from
L<Validation::Class> which allows you to focus on and describe your
command-line arguments and how they should be validated. Command::Do also uses
L<Smart::Options> for parsing command-line options. Command::Do is very
unassuming as thus flexible. It does not impose a particular application
configuration and its dependencies are trivial and easily fat-packed.
Command::Do does not render usage-text or auto-validate arguments, it simply
provides you with the tools to do so wrapped-up in a nice DSL.
The name Command::Do is meant to convey the idea, command-and-do, i.e., write
a command and do something! It is also a play on the word commando which is
defined as a soldier specially trained to carry out raids; In English, the
term commando usually means a person in an elite light infantry and/or special
operations unit, specializing in amphibious landings, parachuting, rappelling
and similar techniques, to conduct and effect attacks ... which is how I like
to think about the command-line scripts I author.
=head1 METHODS
=head2 command
The command method is used to register a coderef by name which may be
automatically invoked by the execute method if it's name matching the first
argument to the execute method. The command method ca be passed a coderef, or a
name and coderef. The coderef, when executed will be passed an instance of the
current class, a hashref of command-line options, and an arrayref of extra
command-line arguments.
command name => sub {
my ($self, $options, $arguments) = @_;
};
=head2 execute
The execute method is used to process the command-line request by parsing the
options and arguments and finding a matching action/routine and executing it.
The execute method can take a list of options/arguments but by default uses
@ARGV.
my $self = YourCmd->new;
$self->execute;
