Claptrap is a tool that allows you to parse complex command line arguments in shell scripts using a declarative specification.
Claptrap is a command-line argument parsing tool designed to simplify the creation of robust CLI interfaces in shell scripts. By leveraging the power of Clap, a popular Rust-based CLI parsing library, Claptrap enables developers to define command-line specifications declaratively using TOML, YAML, or JSON formats.
Key Features:
- Declarative Specification: Define command-line arguments, options, and subcommands using structured configuration files.
- Cross-Shell Compatibility: Supports Bash, Zsh, Fish, and PowerShell, ensuring wide platform coverage.
- Automatic Code Generation: Generate shell completions, man pages, markdown documentation, and template scripts directly from specifications.
- Platform Agnostic: Runs on Linux, macOS, Windows, BSD, and other Unix-like systems.
- Integration with Clap: Leverages the full capabilities of Clap for advanced argument parsing, including validation, completion, and help generation.
Audience & Benefit: Ideal for shell script developers and CLI tool creators who need to build maintainable and user-friendly command-line interfaces. By automating repetitive tasks like argument parsing, documentation, and completion generation, Claptrap accelerates development while ensuring consistent and reliable CLI behavior. It is particularly beneficial for projects requiring cross-platform support or complex argument specifications.
