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, 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//! #[argh(help_triggers("-h", "--help", "help"))]
74//! struct GoUp {
75//!     /// an optional nickname for the pilot
76//!     #[argh(option)]
77//!     pilot_nickname: Option<String>,
78//!
79//!     /// an optional height
80//!     #[argh(option, default = "default_height()")]
81//!     height: usize,
82//!
83//!     /// an optional direction which is "up" by default
84//!     #[argh(option, default = "String::from(\"only up\")")]
85//!     direction: String,
86//! }
87//!
88//! fn main() {
89//!     let up: GoUp = argh::from_env();
90//! }
91//! ```
92//!
93//! Custom option types can be deserialized so long as they implement the
94//! `FromArgValue` trait (automatically implemented for all `FromStr` types).
95//! If more customized parsing is required, you can supply a custom
96//! `fn(&str) -> Result<T, String>` using the `from_str_fn` attribute:
97//!
98//! ```
99//! # use argh::FromArgs;
100//!
101//! #[derive(FromArgs)]
102//! /// Goofy thing.
103//! struct FiveStruct {
104//!     /// always five
105//!     #[argh(option, from_str_fn(always_five))]
106//!     five: usize,
107//! }
108//!
109//! fn always_five(_value: &str) -> Result<usize, String> {
110//!     Ok(5)
111//! }
112//! ```
113//!
114//! `FromArgValue` can be automatically derived for `enum`s, with automatic
115//! error messages:
116//!
117//! ```
118//! use argh::{FromArgs, FromArgValue};
119//!
120//! #[derive(FromArgValue)]
121//! enum Mode {
122//!     SoftCore,
123//!     HardCore,
124//! }
125//!
126//! #[derive(FromArgs)]
127//! /// Do the thing.
128//! struct DoIt {
129//!     #[argh(option)]
130//!     /// how to do it
131//!     how: Mode,
132//! }
133//!
134//! // ./some_bin --how whatever
135//! // > Error parsing option '--how' with value 'whatever': expected "soft_core" or "hard_core"
136//! ```
137//!
138//! Positional arguments can be declared using `#[argh(positional)]`.
139//! These arguments will be parsed in order of their declaration in
140//! the structure:
141//!
142//! ```rust
143//! use argh::FromArgs;
144//! #[derive(FromArgs, PartialEq, Debug)]
145//! /// A command with positional arguments.
146//! struct WithPositional {
147//!     #[argh(positional)]
148//!     first: String,
149//! }
150//! ```
151//!
152//! The last positional argument may include a default, or be wrapped in
153//! `Option` or `Vec` to indicate an optional or repeating positional argument.
154//!
155//! If your final positional argument has the `greedy` option on it, it will consume
156//! any arguments after it as if a `--` were placed before the first argument to
157//! match the greedy positional:
158//!
159//! ```rust
160//! use argh::FromArgs;
161//! #[derive(FromArgs, PartialEq, Debug)]
162//! /// A command with a greedy positional argument at the end.
163//! struct WithGreedyPositional {
164//!     /// some stuff
165//!     #[argh(option)]
166//!     stuff: Option<String>,
167//!     #[argh(positional, greedy)]
168//!     all_the_rest: Vec<String>,
169//! }
170//! ```
171//!
172//! Now if you pass `--stuff Something` after a positional argument, it will
173//! be consumed by `all_the_rest` instead of setting the `stuff` field.
174//!
175//! Note that `all_the_rest` won't be listed as a positional argument in the
176//! long text part of help output (and it will be listed at the end of the usage
177//! line as `[all_the_rest...]`), and it's up to the caller to append any
178//! extra help output for the meaning of the captured arguments. This is to
179//! enable situations where some amount of argument processing needs to happen
180//! before the rest of the arguments can be interpreted, and shouldn't be used
181//! for regular use as it might be confusing.
182//!
183//! Subcommands are also supported. To use a subcommand, declare a separate
184//! `FromArgs` type for each subcommand as well as an enum that cases
185//! over each command:
186//!
187//! ```rust
188//! # use argh::FromArgs;
189//!
190//! #[derive(FromArgs, PartialEq, Debug)]
191//! /// Top-level command.
192//! struct TopLevel {
193//!     #[argh(subcommand)]
194//!     nested: MySubCommandEnum,
195//! }
196//!
197//! #[derive(FromArgs, PartialEq, Debug)]
198//! #[argh(subcommand)]
199//! enum MySubCommandEnum {
200//!     One(SubCommandOne),
201//!     Two(SubCommandTwo),
202//! }
203//!
204//! #[derive(FromArgs, PartialEq, Debug)]
205//! /// First subcommand.
206//! #[argh(subcommand, name = "one")]
207//! struct SubCommandOne {
208//!     #[argh(option)]
209//!     /// how many x
210//!     x: usize,
211//! }
212//!
213//! #[derive(FromArgs, PartialEq, Debug)]
214//! /// Second subcommand.
215//! #[argh(subcommand, name = "two")]
216//! struct SubCommandTwo {
217//!     #[argh(switch)]
218//!     /// whether to fooey
219//!     fooey: bool,
220//! }
221//! ```
222//!
223//! You can also discover subcommands dynamically at runtime. To do this,
224//! declare subcommands as usual and add a variant to the enum with the
225//! `dynamic` attribute. Instead of deriving `FromArgs`, the value inside the
226//! dynamic variant should implement `DynamicSubCommand`.
227//!
228//! ```rust
229//! # use argh::CommandInfo;
230//! # use argh::DynamicSubCommand;
231//! # use argh::EarlyExit;
232//! # use argh::FromArgs;
233//! # use std::sync::LazyLock;
234//!
235//! #[derive(FromArgs, PartialEq, Debug)]
236//! /// Top-level command.
237//! struct TopLevel {
238//!     #[argh(subcommand)]
239//!     nested: MySubCommandEnum,
240//! }
241//!
242//! #[derive(FromArgs, PartialEq, Debug)]
243//! #[argh(subcommand)]
244//! enum MySubCommandEnum {
245//!     Normal(NormalSubCommand),
246//!     #[argh(dynamic)]
247//!     Dynamic(Dynamic),
248//! }
249//!
250//! #[derive(FromArgs, PartialEq, Debug)]
251//! /// Normal subcommand.
252//! #[argh(subcommand, name = "normal")]
253//! struct NormalSubCommand {
254//!     #[argh(option)]
255//!     /// how many x
256//!     x: usize,
257//! }
258//!
259//! /// Dynamic subcommand.
260//! #[derive(PartialEq, Debug)]
261//! struct Dynamic {
262//!     name: String
263//! }
264//!
265//! impl DynamicSubCommand for Dynamic {
266//!     fn commands() -> &'static [&'static CommandInfo] {
267//!         static RET: LazyLock<Vec<&'static CommandInfo>> = LazyLock::new(|| {
268//!             let mut commands = Vec::new();
269//!
270//!             // argh needs the `CommandInfo` structs we generate to be valid
271//!             // for the static lifetime. We can allocate the structures on
272//!             // the heap with `Box::new` and use `Box::leak` to get a static
273//!             // reference to them. We could also just use a constant
274//!             // reference, but only because this is a synthetic example; the
275//!             // point of using dynamic commands is to have commands you
276//!             // don't know about until runtime!
277//!             commands.push(&*Box::leak(Box::new(CommandInfo {
278//!                 name: "dynamic_command",
279//!                 short: &'d',
280//!                 description: "A dynamic command",
281//!             })));

299//!                 return Some(Ok(Vec::new()))
300//!             }

315//!         None
316//!     }
317//! }
318//! ```
319//!
320//! Programs that are run from an environment such as cargo may find it
321//! useful to have positional arguments present in the structure but
322//! omitted from the usage output. This can be accomplished by adding
323//! the `hidden_help` attribute to that argument:
324//!
325//! ```rust
326//! # use argh::FromArgs;
327//!
328//! #[derive(FromArgs)]
329//! /// Cargo arguments
330//! struct CargoArgs {
331//!     // Cargo puts the command name invoked into the first argument,
332//!     // so we don't want this argument to show up in the usage text.
333//!     #[argh(positional, hidden_help)]
334//!     command: String,
335//!     /// an option used for internal debugging
336//!     #[argh(option, hidden_help)]
337//!     internal_debugging: String,
338//!     #[argh(positional)]
339//!     real_first_arg: String,
340//! }
341//! ```
