clapfn

clapfn is a straightforward, easy-to-use Command Line Argument Parser For Nim.

Usage

clapfn is specifically designed to be straightforward to work with.

import tables
import clapfn

var parser = ArgumentParser(programName: "mcp", fullName: "My Cool Program",
                            description: "A test program.", version: "0.0.0")

# See the wiki for in-depth documentation, especially the purposes
# of the various parameters.

parser.addRequiredArgument("in_file", "Input file.")
parser.addStoreArgument("-o", "--out", "output", "out.file",
                        "Specify the output file.")
parser.addSwitchArgument("-d", "--debug", false, "Enable debug printing.")

let args = parser.parse()

echo args["in_file"]
echo args["out"]
echo args["debug"]

And if you were to run mcp --help:

My Cool Program v0.0.0
A test program.

Usage: mcp [-h] [-o output] [-d] in_file

Required arguments:
    in_file                  Input file.

Optional arguments:
    -h, --help               Show this help message and exit.
    -o output, --out output  Specify the output file.
    -d, --debug              Enable debug printing.

The values of the command line arguments are stored in a Table, and can be accessed thus:

args["in_file"]
args["out"]
args["debug"]
# etc

See example.nim for a fully functional example.
