95 Eases the writing of command line utilities, accepting commands and
96 subcommands and so on. These commands can form a tree, which is
97 mirrored in the package structure. On invocation each command along the
98 path through the tree (starting from the toplevel command through to
99 the most specific one) is instanciated.
100 Each command needs to have an "execute" function, accepting three
102 parameters:
103 "self"
105 A reference to the specific MooX::Cmd object that is executing.
106 "args"
108 An ArrayRef of arguments passed to "self". This only encompasses
109 arguments of the most specific (read: right-most) command.
110 "chain"
112 An ArrayRef of "MooX::Cmd"s along the tree path, as specified on
113 the command line.
114 Note that only the execute function of the most specific command is
116 executed.
117 MooX::Cmd Attributes
119 Each command has some attributes set by MooX::Cmd during
121 initialization:
122 "command_chain"
124 Same as "chain" argument to "execute".
125 "command_name"
127 TODO
128 "command_commands"
130 TODO
131 "command_args"
133 TODO
134 "command_base"
136 TODO
137 Examples
139 A Single Toplevel Command
140 #!/usr/bin/env perl
142 package MyApp;
143 use Moo;
144 use MooX::Cmd;
145 sub execute {
147 my ($self,$args,$chain) = @_;
148 printf("%s.execute(\$self,[%s],[%s])\n",
149 ref($self), # which command is executing?
150 join(", ", @$args ), # what where the arguments?
151 join(", ", map { ref } @$chain) # what's in the command chain?
152 );
153 }
154 package main;
156 MyApp->new_with_cmd();
157 Some sample invocations:
159 $ ./MyApp.pl
161 MyApp.execute($self,[],[MyApp])
162 $./MyApp.pl --opt1
164 MyApp.execute($self,[--opt1],[MyApp])
165 $ ./MyApp.pl --opt1 arg
167 MyApp.execute($self,[--opt1, arg],[MyApp])
168 Toplevel Command with Subcommand
170 #!/usr/bin/env perl
172 # let's define a base class containing our generic execute
173 # function to save some typing...
174 package CmdBase;
175 use Moo;
176 sub execute {
178 my ($self,$args,$chain) = @_;
179 printf("%s.execute(\$self,[%s],[%s])\n",
180 ref($self),
181 join(", ", @$args ),
182 join(", ", map { ref } @$chain)
183 );
184 }
185 package MyApp;
187 # toplevel command/app
188 use Moo;
189 use MooX::Cmd;
190 extends 'CmdBase';
191 package MyApp::Cmd::frobnicate;
193 # can be called via ./MyApp.pl frobnicate
194 use Moo;
195 use MooX::Cmd;
196 extends 'CmdBase';
197 package main;
199 MyApp->new_with_cmd();
200 And some sample invocations:
202 $ ./MyApp.pl frobnicate
204 MyApp::Cmd::frobnicate.execute($self,[],[MyApp, MyApp::Cmd::frobnicate])
205 As you can see the chain contains our toplevel command object and then
207 the specififc one.
208 $ ./MyApp.pl frobnicate arg1
210 MyApp::Cmd::frobnicate.execute($self,[arg1],[MyApp, MyApp::Cmd::frobnicate])
211 Arguments are passed via the "args" parameter.
213 $ ./MyApp.pl some --stuff frobnicate arg1
215 MyApp::Cmd::frobnicate.execute($self,[arg1],[MyApp, MyApp::Cmd::frobnicate])
216 Arguments to commands higher in the tree get ignored if they don't
218 match a command.
219 Access Toplevel Attributes via Chain
221 #!/usr/bin/env perl
223 package CmdBase;
224 use Moo;
225 sub execute {
227 my ($self,$args,$chain) = @_;
228 printf("%s.execute(\$self,[%s],[%s])\n",
229 ref($self),
230 join(", ", @$args ),
231 join(", ", map { ref } @$chain)
232 );
233 }
234 package MyApp;
236 use Moo;
237 use MooX::Cmd;
238 extends 'CmdBase';
239 has somevar => ( is => 'ro', default => 'someval' );
241 package MyApp::Cmd::frobnicate;
243 use Moo;
244 use MooX::Cmd;
245 extends 'CmdBase';
246 around execute => sub {
248 my ($orig,$self,$args,$chain) = @_;
249 $self->$orig($args,$chain);
250 # we can access toplevel attributes via the chain...
251 printf("MyApp->somevar = '%s'\n", $chain->[0]->somevar);
252 };
253 package main;
255 MyApp->new_with_cmd();
256 A sample invocation
258 $ ./MyApp.pl some --stuff frobnicate arg1
260 MyApp::Cmd::frobnicate.execute($self,[arg1],[MyApp, MyApp::Cmd::frobnicate])
261 MyApp->somevar = someval
262 MooX::Options integration
264 You can integrate MooX::Options simply by using it and declaring some
265 options, like so:
266 #!/usr/bin/env perl
268 package MyApp;
269 use Moo;
270 use MooX::Cmd;
271 use MooX::Options;
272 option debug => ( is => 'ro' );
274 sub execute {
276 my ($self,$args,$chain) = @_;
277 print "debugging enabled!\n" if $self->{debug};
278 }
279 package main;
281 MyApp->new_with_cmd();
282 A sample invocation
284 $ ./MyApp-Options.pl --debug
286 debugging enabled!
287 Note, that each command and subcommand has its own options., so options
289 are parsed for the specific context and used for the instantiation:
290 $ ./MyApp.pl --argformyapp command --argformyappcmdcommand ...
