5//! Derive-based argument parsing optimized for code size and conformance
6//! to the Fuchsia commandline tools specification
7//!
8//! The public API of this library consists primarily of the `FromArgs`
9//! derive and the `from_env` function, which can be used to produce
10//! a top-level `FromArgs` type from the current program's commandline
11//! arguments.
12//!
13//! ## Basic Example
14//!
15//! ```rust,no_run
16//! use argh::FromArgs;
17//!
18//! #[derive(FromArgs)]
19//! /// Reach new heights.
20//! struct GoUp {
21//! /// whether or not to jump
22//! #[argh(switch, short = 'j')]
23//! jump: bool,
24//!
25//! /// how high to go
26//! #[argh(option)]
27//! height: usize,
28//!
29//! /// an optional nickname for the pilot
30//! #[argh(option)]
31//! pilot_nickname: Option<String>,
32//! }
33//!
34//! let up: GoUp = argh::from_env();
35//! ```
36//!
37//! `./some_bin --help` will then output the following:
38//!
39//! ```bash
40//! Usage: cmdname [-j] --height <height> [--pilot-nickname <pilot-nickname>]
41//!
42//! Reach new heights.
43//!
44//! Options:
45//! -j, --jump whether or not to jump
46//! --height how high to go
47//! --pilot-nickname an optional nickname for the pilot
48//! --help display usage information
49//! ```
50//!
51//! The resulting program can then be used in any of these ways:
52//! - `./some_bin --height 5`
53//! - `./some_bin -j --height 5`
54//! - `./some_bin --jump --height 5 --pilot-nickname Wes`
55//!
56//! Switches, like `jump`, are optional and will be set to true if provided.
57//!
58//! Options, like `height` and `pilot_nickname`, can be either required,
59//! optional, or repeating, depending on whether they are contained in an
60//! `Option` or a `Vec`. Default values can be provided using the
61//! `#[argh(default = "<your_code_here>")]` attribute, and in this case an
62//! option is treated as optional.
63//!
64//! ```rust
65//! use argh::FromArgs;
66//!
67//! fn default_height() -> usize {
68//! 5
69//! }
70//!
71//! #[derive(FromArgs)]
72//! /// Reach new heights.
73//! struct GoUp {
74//! /// an optional nickname for the pilot
75//! #[argh(option)]
76//! pilot_nickname: Option<String>,
77//!
78//! /// an optional height
79//! #[argh(option, default = "default_height()")]
80//! height: usize,
81//!
82//! /// an optional direction which is "up" by default
83//! #[argh(option, default = "String::from(\"only up\")")]
84//! direction: String,
85//! }
86//!
87//! fn main() {
88//! let up: GoUp = argh::from_env();
89//! }
90//! ```
91//!
92//! Custom option types can be deserialized so long as they implement the
93//! `FromArgValue` trait (automatically implemented for all `FromStr` types).
94//! If more customized parsing is required, you can supply a custom
95//! `fn(&str) -> Result<T, String>` using the `from_str_fn` attribute:
96//!
97//! ```
98//! # use argh::FromArgs;
99//!
100//! #[derive(FromArgs)]
101//! /// Goofy thing.
102//! struct FiveStruct {
103//! /// always five
104//! #[argh(option, from_str_fn(always_five))]
105//! five: usize,
106//! }
107//!
108//! fn always_five(_value: &str) -> Result<usize, String> {
109//! Ok(5)
110//! }
111//! ```
112//!
113//! Positional arguments can be declared using `#[argh(positional)]`.
114//! These arguments will be parsed in order of their declaration in
115//! the structure:
116//!
117//! ```rust
118//! use argh::FromArgs;
119//! #[derive(FromArgs, PartialEq, Debug)]
120//! /// A command with positional arguments.
121//! struct WithPositional {
122//! #[argh(positional)]
123//! first: String,
124//! }
125//! ```
126//!
127//! The last positional argument may include a default, or be wrapped in
128//! `Option` or `Vec` to indicate an optional or repeating positional argument.
129//!
130//! If your final positional argument has the `greedy` option on it, it will consume
131//! any arguments after it as if a `--` were placed before the first argument to
132//! match the greedy positional:
133//!
134//! ```rust
135//! use argh::FromArgs;
136//! #[derive(FromArgs, PartialEq, Debug)]
137//! /// A command with a greedy positional argument at the end.
138//! struct WithGreedyPositional {
139//! /// some stuff
140//! #[argh(option)]
141//! stuff: Option<String>,
142//! #[argh(positional, greedy)]
143//! all_the_rest: Vec<String>,
144//! }
145//! ```
146//!
147//! Now if you pass `--stuff Something` after a positional argument, it will
148//! be consumed by `all_the_rest` instead of setting the `stuff` field.
149//!
150//! Note that `all_the_rest` won't be listed as a positional argument in the
151//! long text part of help output (and it will be listed at the end of the usage
152//! line as `[all_the_rest...]`), and it's up to the caller to append any
153//! extra help output for the meaning of the captured arguments. This is to
154//! enable situations where some amount of argument processing needs to happen
155//! before the rest of the arguments can be interpreted, and shouldn't be used
156//! for regular use as it might be confusing.
157//!
158//! Subcommands are also supported. To use a subcommand, declare a separate
159//! `FromArgs` type for each subcommand as well as an enum that cases
160//! over each command:
161//!
162//! ```rust
163//! # use argh::FromArgs;
164//!
165//! #[derive(FromArgs, PartialEq, Debug)]
166//! /// Top-level command.
167//! struct TopLevel {
168//! #[argh(subcommand)]
169//! nested: MySubCommandEnum,
170//! }
171//!
172//! #[derive(FromArgs, PartialEq, Debug)]
173//! #[argh(subcommand)]
174//! enum MySubCommandEnum {
175//! One(SubCommandOne),
176//! Two(SubCommandTwo),
177//! }
178//!
179//! #[derive(FromArgs, PartialEq, Debug)]
180//! /// First subcommand.
181//! #[argh(subcommand, name = "one")]
182//! struct SubCommandOne {
183//! #[argh(option)]
184//! /// how many x
185//! x: usize,
186//! }
187//!
188//! #[derive(FromArgs, PartialEq, Debug)]
189//! /// Second subcommand.
190//! #[argh(subcommand, name = "two")]
191//! struct SubCommandTwo {
192//! #[argh(switch)]
193//! /// whether to fooey
194//! fooey: bool,
195//! }
196//! ```
197//!
198//! You can also discover subcommands dynamically at runtime. To do this,
199//! declare subcommands as usual and add a variant to the enum with the
200//! `dynamic` attribute. Instead of deriving `FromArgs`, the value inside the
201//! dynamic variant should implement `DynamicSubCommand`.
202//!
203//! ```rust
204//! # use argh::CommandInfo;
205//! # use argh::DynamicSubCommand;
206//! # use argh::EarlyExit;
207//! # use argh::FromArgs;
208//! # use once_cell::sync::OnceCell;
209//!
210//! #[derive(FromArgs, PartialEq, Debug)]
211//! /// Top-level command.
212//! struct TopLevel {
213//! #[argh(subcommand)]
214//! nested: MySubCommandEnum,
215//! }
216//!
217//! #[derive(FromArgs, PartialEq, Debug)]
218//! #[argh(subcommand)]
219//! enum MySubCommandEnum {
220//! Normal(NormalSubCommand),
221//! #[argh(dynamic)]
222//! Dynamic(Dynamic),
223//! }
224//!
225//! #[derive(FromArgs, PartialEq, Debug)]
226//! /// Normal subcommand.
227//! #[argh(subcommand, name = "normal")]
228//! struct NormalSubCommand {
229//! #[argh(option)]
230//! /// how many x
231//! x: usize,
232//! }
233//!
234//! /// Dynamic subcommand.
235//! #[derive(PartialEq, Debug)]
236//! struct Dynamic {
237//! name: String
238//! }
239//!
240//! impl DynamicSubCommand for Dynamic {
241//! fn commands() -> &'static [&'static CommandInfo] {
242//! static RET: OnceCell<Vec<&'static CommandInfo>> = OnceCell::new();
243//! RET.get_or_init(|| {
244//! let mut commands = Vec::new();
245//!
246//! // argh needs the `CommandInfo` structs we generate to be valid
247//! // for the static lifetime. We can allocate the structures on
248//! // the heap with `Box::new` and use `Box::leak` to get a static
249//! // reference to them. We could also just use a constant
250//! // reference, but only because this is a synthetic example; the
251//! // point of using dynamic commands is to have commands you
252//! // don't know about until runtime!
253//! commands.push(&*Box::leak(Box::new(CommandInfo {
254//! name: "dynamic_command",
255//! description: "A dynamic command",
256//! })));
257//!
258//! commands
259//! })
260//! }
261//!
262//! fn try_redact_arg_values(
263//! command_name: &[&str],
264//! args: &[&str],
265//! ) -> Option<Result<Vec<String>, EarlyExit>> {
266//! for command in Self::commands() {
267//! if command_name.last() == Some(&command.name) {
268//! // Process arguments and redact values here.
269//! if !args.is_empty() {
270//! return Some(Err("Our example dynamic command never takes arguments!"
271//! .to_string().into()));
272//! }
273//! return Some(Ok(Vec::new()))
274//! }
275//! }
276//! None
277//! }
278//!
279//! fn try_from_args(command_name: &[&str], args: &[&str]) -> Option<Result<Self, EarlyExit>> {
280//! for command in Self::commands() {
281//! if command_name.last() == Some(&command.name) {
282//! if !args.is_empty() {
283//! return Some(Err("Our example dynamic command never takes arguments!"
284//! .to_string().into()));
285//! }
286//! return Some(Ok(Dynamic { name: command.name.to_string() }))
287//! }
288//! }
289//! None
290//! }
291//! }
292//! ```
293//!
294//! Programs that are run from an environment such as cargo may find it
295//! useful to have positional arguments present in the structure but
296//! omitted from the usage output. This can be accomplished by adding
297//! the `hidden_help` attribute to that argument:
298//!
299//! ```rust
300//! # use argh::FromArgs;
301//!
302//! #[derive(FromArgs)]
303//! /// Cargo arguments
304//! struct CargoArgs {
305//! // Cargo puts the command name invoked into the first argument,
306//! // so we don't want this argument to show up in the usage text.
307//! #[argh(positional, hidden_help)]
308//! command: String,
309//! /// an option used for internal debugging
310//! #[argh(option, hidden_help)]
311//! internal_debugging: String,
312//! #[argh(positional)]
313//! real_first_arg: String,
314//! }
315//! ```
