Interface CommandProvider

  • public interface CommandProvider
    A service that provides a command line invocable operation. A CommandProvider implementation must enumerate the options and arguments the command accepts by annotating itself with the relevant Command, Argument and Option annotations.

    Automatic Command Line Parsing Example

     
 @Provides
 @Command(name="echo", description = @TranslatableText(type = EchoMessages.class, id = EchoMessages.ECHO_COMMAND),
     arguments = { @Argument(type = String.class, name="text",
         description = @TranslatableText(type = EchoMessages.class, id = EchoMessages.TEXT_ARGUMENT)) })
 class Echo implements CommandProvider {
 
   public void execute(final Map<String, Object> values) throws Exception {
     final String text = values.get("text");
     System.out.println(text);
   }
 }
    In the above example the Command, TranslatableText and Argument annotations are used to declaratively define how the command line arguments should be parsed.

    The text argument is parsed by the runtime and is passed an entry in the Map passed to the execute(Map) method.

    Manual Command Line Parsing Example

     
 @Provides
 @Command(, description = @TranslatableText(type = EchoMessages.class, id = EchoMessages.ECHO_COMMAND),
     processArgs = true })
 class Echo implements CommandProvider {
 
   public int execute(final String...args) throws Exception {
     for ( String arg: args ) {
      System.out.print(arg);
      System.out.print(' ');
     }
     System.out.println();
     return 0;
   }
 }
    In the above example the command takes care of parsing the command line itself, in this case echoing each argument supplied

      • execute

        default void execute​(java.util.Map<java.lang.String,​java.lang.Object> values)
              throws java.lang.Exception
        Execute the command
        Parameters:
        values - The values for the options and arguments of the command
        Throws:
        java.lang.Exception - if an error occurs during execution of the command

      • execute

        default int execute​(java.lang.String... args)
             throws java.lang.Exception
        Execute the command, passing it the command line arguments to parse itself
        Parameters:
        args - The command line arguments to this command
        Returns:
        The exit status code for the command. If the command completes normally it must return zero, otherwise it must return a non zero value
