digitalmars.D.learn - Command Line Utility Library
- UDW (7/7) Aug 15 2016 Hi,
- Jacob Carlborg (4/10) Aug 15 2016 I think you need to be a bit more specific on what you need.
- Seb (12/26) Aug 15 2016 Are you trying to parse arguments?
- UDW (12/23) Aug 15 2016 Thanks for the suggestions Seb,
- Seb (4/17) Aug 15 2016 Have you had a detailed look at std.getopt?
- Jonathan Marler (2/13) Aug 15 2016 Seb how in the heck do you know about all these libraries, geeze.
- Jacob Carlborg (5/6) Aug 15 2016 Currently Dub has so few libraries that it's possible to manually scan
- Seb (15/20) Aug 16 2016 Manual work? O_o
- Jacob Carlborg (5/9) Aug 16 2016 It's a bit problematic when you don't know what to search for. Not all
- Edwin van Leeuwen (2/11) Aug 16 2016 Does it only search the description or also the README?
- Seb (5/19) Aug 16 2016 https://github.com/dlang/dub-registry/pull/149
- Edwin van Leeuwen (5/9) Aug 16 2016 I am using:
- UDW (8/15) Aug 16 2016 That's also very nice. I hadn't thought of writing the help text
Hi, I would like some options for a library, preferably json configurable, that helps with command line tool development. Doesn't have to be in D specifically. Currently I am using using std.getopt. I had a search in the DUB repos and in github but didn't really find anything appealing. ty ss <3

I just thought there would be a standard library, stdclib, phobos or otherwise for making CLI tools that would generate sub-commands, options, help text and handle input for it all. Unfortunately my gumby searching didn't find much yesterday. Sort of like this https://github.com/tj/commander.js which I found after a bit more searching. ty again

O_o Just open code.dlang.org and either hit CTRL-F or use the search bar (Martin added elastic search two months ago) as the packages usually have a very low PageRank. Furthermore the knowledge that the "big/old" players in the D community (CyberShadow, Adam Ruppe, ...) have their own library solution for everything, helps in finding what one is searching for. Additionally there are quite a few discussions about (Phobos) packages, for example a recent one is here: https://forum.dlang.org/thread/ng7iiq$1gnv$1 digitalmars.com?page=1 (the most interesting finding in there is that std.getopt has nothing to do with the getopt program) So no dark magic involved ;-)Seb how in the heck do you know about all these libraries, geeze.Currently Dub has so few libraries that it's possible to manually scan the list.

I hadn't thought of writing the help text first and then having a parser for the usage to generate options. Much appreciated.
