NAME
    Smart::Options - smart command line options processor

SYNOPSIS
      use Smart::Options;

      my $argv = Smart::Options->new->argv;

      if ($argv->{rif} - 5 * $argv->{xup} > 7.138) {
          say 'Buy more fiffiwobbles';
      }
      else {
         say 'Sell the xupptumblers';
      }

      # $ ./example.pl --rif=55 --xup=9.52
      # Buy more fiffiwobbles
      #
      # $ ./example.pl --rif 12 --xup 8.1
      # Sell the xupptumblers

DESCRIPTION
    Smart::Options is a library for option parsing for people tired option
    parsing. This module is analyzed as people interpret an option
    intuitively.

METHOD
  new()
    Create a parser object.

      use Smart::Options;

      my $argv = Smart::Options->new->parse(qw(-x 10 -y 2));

  parse(@args)
    parse @args. return hashref of option values. if @args is empty
    Smart::Options use @ARGV

  argv(@args)
    shortcut method. this method auto export.

      use Smart::Options;
      say argv(qw(-x 10))->{x};

    is the same as

      use Smart::Options ();
      Smart::Options->new->parse(qw(-x 10))->{x};

  alias($alias, $option)
    set alias for option. you can use "$option" field of argv.

      use Smart::Options;
  
      my $argv = Smart::Options->new->alias(f => 'file')->parse(qw(-f /etc/hosts));
      $argv->{file} # => '/etc/hosts'

  default($option, $default_value)
    set default value for option.

      use Smart::Options;
  
      my $argv = Smart::Options->new->default(y => 5)->parse(qw(-x 10));
      $argv->{x} + $argv->{y} # => 15

  describe($option, $msg)
    set option help message.

      use Smart::Options;
      my $opt = Smart::Options->new()->alias(f => 'file')->describe('Load a file');
      say $opt->help;

      # Usage: ./example.pl
      #
      # Options:
      #    -f, --file  Load a file
      #

  boolean($option, $option2, ...)
    interpret 'option' as a boolean.

      use Smart::Options;
  
      my $argv = Smart::Options->new->parse(qw(-x 11 -y 10));
      $argv->{x} # => 11
  
      my $argv2 = Smart::Options->new->boolean('x')->parse(qw(-x 11 -y 10));
      $argv2->{x} # => true (1)

  demand($option, $option2, ...)
    show usage (showHelp()) and exit if $option wasn't specified in args.

      use Smart::Options;
      my $opt = Smart::Options->new()->alias(f => 'file')
                                     ->demand('file')
                                     ->describe('Load a file');
      $opt->argv(); # => exit

      # Usage: ./example.pl
      #
      # Options:
      #    -f, --file  Load a file [required]
      #

  options($key => $settings, ...)
      use Smart::Options;
      my $opt = Smart::Options->new()
        ->options( f => { alias => 'file', default => '/etc/passwd' } );

    is the same as

      use Smart::Options;
      my $opt = Smart::Options->new()
                  ->alias(f => 'file')
                  ->default(f => '/etc/passwd');

  type
    set type check for option value

      use Smart::Options;
      my $opt = Smart::Options->new()->type(foo => 'Int');

      $opt->parse('--foo=bar') # => fail
      $opt->parse('--foo=3.14') # => fail
      $opt->parse('--foo=1') # => ok

    support type is here.

      Bool
      Str
      Int
      Num
      ArrayRef
      HashRef

  coerce
    define new type and convert logic.

      use Smart::Options;
      use Path::Class; # export 'file'
      my $opt = Smart::Options->new()->coerce(File => 'Str', sub { file($_[0]) })
                                     ->type(file => 'File');
  
      $opt->parse('--foo=/etc/passwd');
      $argv->{file} # => Path::Class::File instance

  usage
    set a usage message to show which command to use. default is "Usage:
    $0".

  help
    return help message string

  showHelp($fh)
    print usage message. default output STDERR.

  subcmd($cmd => $parser)
    set a sub command. $parser is another Smart::Option object.

      use Smart::Options;
      my $opt = Smart::Options->new()
                  ->subcmd(add => Smart::Options->new())
                  ->subcmd(minus => Smart::Options->new());

DSL
    see also Smart::Options::Declare

PARSING TRICKS
  stop parsing
    use '--' to stop parsing.

      use Smart::Options;
      use Data::Dumper;

      my $argv = argv(qw(-a 1 -b 2 -- -c 3 -d 4));
      warn Dumper($argv);

      # $VAR1 = {
      #        'a' => '1',
      #        'b' => '2',
      #        '_' => [
      #                 '-c',
      #                 '3',
      #                 '-d',
      #                 '4'
      #               ]
      #      };

  negate fields
    '--no-key' set false to $key.

      use Smart::Options;
      argv(qw(-a --no-b))->{b}; # => 0

  duplicates
    If set flag multiple times it will get arrayref.

      use Smart::Options;
      argv(qw(-x 1 -x 2 -x 3))->{x}; # => [1, 2, 3]

  dot notation
      use Smart::Optuions;
      argv(qw(--foo.x 1 --foo.y 2)); # => { foo => { x => 1, y => 2 } }
