Purpose of this project is to provide modern and complete API for command line argument and option parsing in CLI.

CommandLine generics

When you type ENV=prod php -d "error_reporting=E_ALL" script.php test --debug only last command line components are visible in script.php scope at runtime.

Following analysis such command line consists of:

ENV=prod                   // this is shell way for setting environment variables per process
php                        // this part is pointing to php interpreter
-d "error_reporting=E_ALL" // this part holds php interpreter options
script.php                 // visible at runtime script filename
test                       // visible at runtime arguments
--debug                    // visible at runtime options

Runtime command line generic components are: command + arguments + options.

Examples

The simplest way to retrieve parameters from CLI with definitions:

$commandLine = (new \Brzuchal\CommandLine\CommandLineBuilder())
    ->withArgument('command')
    ->withOption('file', 'f')
    ->withOption('count', 'c', true)
    ->build($_SERVER['argv'], $_SERVER['PWD']);

The simplest way to retrieve parameters from CLI without definition:

$parser = new \Brzuchal\CommandLine\ArrayCommandLineParser($_SERVER['argv']);
$commandLine = $parser->parse();

Which for php test.php command --env=prod --debug -f -c gives:

PHP\CLI\CommandLine Object
(
    [command:protected] => test.php
    [parameters:protected] => Array
        (
            [0] => PHP\CLI\Argument Object
                (
                    [name:protected] => arg0
                    [value:protected] => command
                )

            [1] => PHP\CLI\Option Object
                (
                    [name:protected] => env
                    [value:protected] => prod
                )

            [2] => PHP\CLI\Option Object
                (
                    [name:protected] => debug
                    [value:protected] => 
                )

            [3] => PHP\CLI\Option Object
                (
                    [name:protected] => f
                    [value:protected] => 
                )

            [4] => PHP\CLI\Option Object
                (
                    [name:protected] => c
                    [value:protected] => 1
                )

        )

    [cwd:protected] => /home/brzuchal/Workspace/command-line
)

There is also a way to retrieve parameters with it's definitions and their requirements:

$definition = new \Brzuchal\CommandLine\Definition([
    new \Brzuchal\CommandLine\ArgumentDefinition('command'),
    new \Brzuchal\CommandLine\OptionDefinition('env', 'e'),
    new \Brzuchal\CommandLine\OptionDefinition('file', 'f'),
    new \Brzuchal\CommandLine\OptionDefinition('count', 'c'),
]);
$parser = new \Brzuchal\CommandLine\ArrayParameterParser($_SERVER['argv']);
$parameters = $parser->parse();

Which also validates if options have values and are required. Parsing command php test.php command --env=prod --debug -f -c gives:

PHP\CLI\CommandLine Object
(
    [command:protected] => test.php
    [parameters:protected] => Array
        (
            [0] => PHP\CLI\Argument Object
                (
                    [name:protected] => command
                    [value:protected] => command
                )

            [1] => PHP\CLI\Option Object
                (
                    [name:protected] => env
                    [value:protected] => prod
                )

            [2] => PHP\CLI\Option Object
                (
                    [name:protected] => debug
                    [value:protected] => 
                )

            [3] => PHP\CLI\Option Object
                (
                    [name:protected] => file
                    [value:protected] => 
                )

            [4] => PHP\CLI\Option Object
                (
                    [name:protected] => count
                    [value:protected] => 1
                )

        )

    [cwd:protected] => /home/brzuchal/Workspace/command-line
)

TODO

• Parse options from array
• Parse options from string
• Validates required values
• Provide default values
• Parse arguments from array
• Parse arguments from string
• Validates existence of arguments
