# Rake::ToolkitProgram Create toolkit programs easily with `Rake` and `OptionParser` syntax. Bash completions and usage help are baked in. ## Installation Add this line to your application's Gemfile: ```ruby gem 'rake-toolkit_program' ``` And then execute: $ bundle Or install it yourself as: $ gem install rake-toolkit_program ## Quickstart * Shebang it up (in a file named `awesome_tool.rb`) ```ruby #!/usr/bin/env ruby ``` * Require the library ```ruby require 'rake/toolkit_program' ``` * Make your life easier ```ruby Program = Rake::ToolkitProgram ``` * Define your command tasks ```ruby Program.command_tasks do desc "Build it" task 'build' do # Ruby code here end desc "Test it" task 'test' => ['build'] do # Rake syntax ↑↑↑↑↑↑↑ for dependencies # Ruby code here end end ``` You can use `Program.args` in your tasks to access the other arguments on the command line. For argument parsing integrated into the help provided by the program, see the use of `Rake::Task(Rake::ToolkitProgram::TaskExt)#parse_args` below. * Wire the mainline ```ruby Program.run(on_error: :exit_program!) if $0 == __FILE__ ``` * In the shell, prepare to run the program (UNIX/Linux systems only) ```console $ chmod +x awesome_tool.rb $ ./awesome_tool.rb --install-completions Completions installed in /home/rtweeks/.bashrc Source /home/rtweeks/.bash-complete/awesome_tool.rb-completions for immediate availability. $ source /home/rtweeks/.bash-complete/awesome_tool.rb-completions ``` * Ask for help ```console $ ./awesome_tool.rb help *** ./awesome_tool.rb Toolkit Program *** . . . ``` ## Usage Let's look at a short sample toolkit program -- put this in `awesome.rb`: ```ruby #!/usr/bin/env ruby require 'rake/toolkit_program' require 'ostruct' ToolkitProgram = Rake::ToolkitProgram ToolkitProgram.title = "My Awesome Toolkit of Awesome" ToolkitProgram.command_tasks do desc <<-END_DESC.dedent Fooing my...
