CommandLinePlus 1.0.0

CommandLinePlus

This project started because I needed a command line parser that could:

• Have a primary option
• Have a sub option
• Accept command line parameters

This allows a developer to construct a command line in the following form:

myprog.exe Option SubOption -param:value

Supports

• Net7.0
• Netstandard2.0

How it works

Create a class which descends from BaseCommandLine, specify the name (primary option) and create methods (each method is a sub option)

In the following example we can these command lines:

myprog.exe Plugin /p:myplugin
myprog.exe Plugin Add -p:myplugin
myprog.exe Plugin Remove --p:myplugin
myprog.exe Plugin Disable /p:myplugin
myprog.exe Plugin Enable -p:myplugin

    internal class PluginProcessor : BaseCommandLine
    {
        public override string Name => "Plugin";

        public override int SortOrder => 0;

        public override bool IsEnabled => true;

        public override void DisplayHelp(IDisplay display)
        {
            display.WriteLine("Plugin");
            display.WriteLine("    Add");
            display.WriteLine("    Remove");
            display.WriteLine("    Disable");
            display.WriteLine("    Enable");
            display.WriteLine("    -p    Name of plugin");
        }

        public override void Execute(string[] args)
        {
            // default handler when no sub option specified
        }

        public void Add(string p)
        {

        }

        public void Remove(string p)
        {

        }

        public void Disable(string p)
        {

        }

        public void Enable(string p)
        {

        }
    }
