args 0.13.3+1

Library for defining parsers for parsing raw command-line arguments into a set of options and values using GNU and POSIX style options.

0.13.2+1

• Print all lines of multi-line command descriptions.

0.13.2

• Allow option values that look like options. This more closely matches the behavior of getopt, the de facto standard for option parsing.

0.13.1

• Add ArgParser.addSeparator(). Separators allow users to group their options in the usage text.

0.13.0

• Breaking change: An option that allows multiple values will now automatically split apart comma-separated values. This can be controlled with the splitCommas option.

0.12.2+6

• Remove the dependency on the collection package.

0.12.2+5

• Add syntax highlighting to the README.

0.12.2+4

• Add an example of using command-line arguments to the README.

0.12.2+3

• Fixed implementation of ArgResults.options to really use Iterable

0.12.2+2

• Updated dependency constraint on unittest.

• Formatted source code.

• Fixed use of deprecated API in example.

0.12.2+1

• Fix the built-in help command for CommandRunner.

0.12.2

• Add CommandRunner and Command classes which make it easy to build a command-based command-line application.

• Add an ArgResults.arguments field, which contains the original argument list.

0.12.1

• Replace ArgParser.getUsage() with ArgParser.usage, a getter. ArgParser.getUsage() is now deprecated, to be removed in args version 1.0.0.

0.12.0+2

• Widen the version constraint on the collection package.

0.12.0+1

• Remove the documentation link from the pubspec so this is linked to pub.dartlang.org by default.

0.12.0

• Removed public constructors for ArgResults and Option.

• ArgResults.wasParsed() can be used to determine if an option was actually parsed or the default value is being returned.

• Replaced isFlag and allowMultiple fields in the Option class with a three-value OptionType enum.

• Options may define valueHelp which will then be shown in the usage.

0.11.0

• Move handling trailing options from ArgParser.parse() into ArgParser itself. This lets subcommands have different behavior for how they handle trailing options.

0.10.0+2

• Usage ignores hidden options when determining column widths.
