Arguments

abstract

Base class for declaring a command line with by delegates.

Declare each parameter with option, flag, or argument. Reading a delegated property before the arguments have been parsed throws.

class ServerArgs : Arguments(programName = "serve", description = "Run the server") {
    val host: String        by option("--host", help = "Bind host").default("0.0.0.0")
    val port: Int           by option("--port", "-p", help = "Port").int().required()
    val verbose: Boolean    by flag("--verbose", "-v", help = "Verbose logging")
    val files: List<String> by argument(help = "Files to serve").multiple()
}

fun main(argv: Array<String>) {
    val args = ServerArgs().parsed(argv)
    println("serving ${args.files} on ${args.host}:${args.port}")
}
