Yet another option parser for Scala, but this one is incredibly simple and rich enough in features to satisfy most needs.
The project page with links to documentation can be found at https://davidedwards.io/scalop.
val opts =
// no argument, type is Boolean
// sets value to true if --help or -? detected
// default value is false
("help", '?') ~> just(true) ~~ false ::
// single argument, type is String
// no default value
("host", 'h') ~> as[String] ::
// single argument, type is Int
// default value is 7777
("port", 'p') ~> as[Int] ~~ 7777 ::
// single argument, type is Duration
// default value is Duration.Inf
("timeout", 't') ~> as { arg: Long => Math.max(arg, 0).seconds } ~~ Duration.Inf ::
// optional single argument, type is Option[Int]
// value is None if -X not followed by argument
// otherwise default value is Some(0)
'X' ~> maybe[Int] ~~ Some(0) ::
// single argument, type is Seq[File]
// multiple appearances of --file or -f append argument to sequence
// default value is empty sequence
("file", 'f') ~>+ as[File] ~~ Seq.empty ::
Nildef main(args: Array[String]): Unit = {
val optr = try opts <~ args catch {
case e: OptException => ...
}
...
}val help: Boolean = optr("help")
val host: String = optr.get("host") getOrElse "localhost"
val port: Int = optr("port")
val timeout: Duration = optr("timeout")
val x = optr[Option[Int]]("X") getOrElse { Random.nextInt() }
val files: Seq[File] = optr("file")API documentation can be found here.
