WiZaRo.CommandLine.Fluent

The static class WiZaRo.CommandLine.Fluent.Start contains the entry points to the fluent API.

• The method DefineCommandLine(Action<CommandBuilder>) allows to define a command line API explicitly in a fluent way, i.e.:

  Start.DefineCommandLine(rootBuilder => rootBuilder
    .AddCommand("HelloWorld", commandBuilder => commandBuilder
        .SetDescription("Salutes the globe.")
        .UseHandler(CommandHandler.Create(HelloWorld)))
    .AddCommand("Show", commandBuilder => commandBuilder
        .SetDescription("Shows a message prettily.")
        .AddOption<string>(new[] { "--message", "-m" },   optionBuilder => optionBuilder
            .Require())
        .UseHandler(CommandHandler.Create<string, IFormatter>(Show))))

  The previous example creates two commands:

  • The HelloWorld command with no options managed by the HelloWorld() method; and
  • The Show command with a required --message option and managed by the Show(string, IFormatter) method.

• The methods DefineCommandLineFrom allows to define a command line API from a pre-existing or generated RootCommand.

A complete example can be found at Fluent Example.
