A powerful option parser toolkit for PHP, supporting type constraints, flag, multiple flag, multiple values and required value checking.

GetOptionKit supports PHP5.3, with fine unit testing with PHPUnit testing framework.

GetOptionKit is object-oriented, it's flexible and extendable.

Option Value Type

The option value type help you validate the input, the following list is the current supported types:

  • string
  • number
  • boolean
  • file
  • date
  • url
  • email
  • ip
  • ipv4
  • ipv6
  • regex

And here is the related sample code:

$opt->add( 'f|foo:' , 'with string type value' )
    ->isa('string');

$opt->add( 'b|bar+' , 'with number type value' )
    ->isa('number');

$opt->add( 'z|zoo?' , 'with boolean type value' )
    ->isa('boolean');

$opt->add( 'file:' , 'with file type value' )
    ->isa('file');

$opt->add( 'date:' , 'with date type value' )
    ->isa('date');

$opt->add( 'url:' , 'with url type value' )
    ->isa('url');

$opt->add( 'email:' , 'with email type value' )
    ->isa('email');

$opt->add( 'ip:' , 'with ip(v4/v6) type value' )
    ->isa('ip');

$opt->add( 'ipv4:' , 'with ipv4 type value' )
    ->isa('ipv4');

$opt->add( 'ipv6:' , 'with ipv6 type value' )
    ->isa('ipv6');

$specs->add('r|regex:', 'with custom regex type value')
      ->isa('Regex', '/^([a-z]+)$/');

Please note that currently only string, number, boolean types can be validated.

ContinuousOptionParser

$specs = new OptionCollection;
$spec_verbose = $specs->add('v|verbose');
$spec_color = $specs->add('c|color');
$spec_debug = $specs->add('d|debug');
$spec_verbose->description = 'verbose flag';

// ContinuousOptionParser
$parser = new ContinuousOptionParser( $specs );
$result = $parser->parse(explode(' ','program -v -d test -a -b -c subcommand -e -f -g subcommand2'));
$result2 = $parser->continueParse();

OptionPrinter

GetOptionKit\OptionPrinter can print options for you:

* Available options:
              -f, --foo   option requires a value.
              -b, --bar   option with multiple value.
              -z, --zoo   option with optional value.
          -v, --verbose   verbose message.
            -d, --debug   debug message.
                 --long   long option name only.
                     -s   short option name only.

Command-line app with subcommands

For application with subcommands is designed by following form:

[app name] [app opts] 
             [subcommand1] [subcommand-opts]
             [subcommand2] [subcommand-opts]
             [subcommand3] [subcommand-opts]
             [arguments]

You can check the tests/GetOptionKit/ContinuousOptionParserTest.php unit test file:

// subcommand stack
$subcommands = array('subcommand1','subcommand2','subcommand3');

// different command has its own options
$subcommandSpecs = array(
    'subcommand1' => $cmdspecs,
    'subcommand2' => $cmdspecs,
    'subcommand3' => $cmdspecs,
);

// for saved options
$subcommandOptions = array();

// command arguments
$arguments = array();

$argv = explode(' ','program -v -d -c subcommand1 -a -b -c subcommand2 -c subcommand3 arg1 arg2 arg3');

// parse application options first
$parser = new ContinuousOptionParser( $appspecs );
$app_options = $parser->parse( $argv );
while (! $parser->isEnd()) {
    if (@$subcommands[0] && $parser->getCurrentArgument() == $subcommands[0]) {
        $parser->advance();
        $subcommand = array_shift( $subcommands );
        $parser->setSpecs( $subcommandSpecs[$subcommand] );
        $subcommandOptions[ $subcommand ] = $parser->continueParse();
    } else {
        $arguments[] = $parser->advance();
    }
}

Todo

  • Option Spec group.
  • option valid value checking.
  • custom command mapping.

Command Line Utility Design Concept

  • main program name should be easy to type, easy to remember.
  • subcommand should be easy to type, easy to remember. length should be shorter than 7 characters.
  • options should always have long descriptive name
  • a program should be easy to check usage.

General command interface

To list usage of all subcommands or the program itself:

$ prog help

To list the subcommand usage

$ prog help subcommand subcommand2 subcommand3
