A flexible command system written in Scala.

UCP is a Scala library allowing users to easily register and parse custom commands with custom syntax.

UCP is published to the Sonatype Repository and indexed by Scaladex.

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
    implementation 'io.github.iltotore:ucp_scalaVersion:version'
}

libraryDependencies += "io.github.iltotore" %% "ucp" % "version"

You firstly need to create a new CommandRegistry[C, R] where C <: CommandContext is the custom context and R a custom result type. UCP provides a default prefixed implementation named CommandRegistry.Prefixed.

val registry = new CommandRegistry.Prefixed[CommandContext.Mapped, String]("/")

UCP provides a simple DSL to declare a command.

registry += Command(
  name = CommandName("give", "g", "anotherAlias"),
  executor = GiveExecutor, //An instance of CommandExecutor[C, R]
  root = GenericParam.raw("item")
)

Here is a CommandExecutor example:

object GiveExecutor extends CommandExecutor[CommandContext.Mapped, String] {
  
  override def apply(context: CommandContext.Mapped): String = {
    s"You earned ${context.get[String]("item").get}"
  }
}

You can now create your custom commands. Let's parse an incoming String to a Command.

Firstly create an implicit Tokenizer:

implicit val tokenizer: Tokenizer = new Tokenizer.Regex(" ") //All command parts are separated by a space

Now parse the command using CommandRegistry#parseString

registry.parseString(new CommandContext.Mapped(mutable.Map.empty), "/give apple") //You earned apple

Here is a command "giving" an item with an optional amount to the player

registry += Command(
  name = CommandName("give", "earn"),
  executor = GiveExecutor,
  root = MiscParam.sequence(
    GenericParam.raw("item"),
    MiscParam.optional(GenericParam.int("amount"))
  )
)

object GiveExecutor extends CommandExecutor[CommandContext.Mapped, String] {
  
  override def apply(context: CommandContext.Mapped): String = {
    val item: String = context.get("item").get
    val amount: Int = context.get("amount").getOrElse(1)
    s"You earned $item x$amount"
  }
}

/give apple
You earned apple x1

/give apple 2
You earned apple x2

/give apple --amount 2
You eanred apple x2

/give --item apple --amount 2
You earned apple x2

/give --amount 2 --item apple
You earned apple x2

/give --amount 2
ParsingException.MissingArgument: item
