ComposableCommands
Documentation for ComposableCommands.
ComposableCommands.jl is a Julia package that simplifies the process of interpreting and building command-line instructions. It allows you to programmatically construct commands, manage command parameters, handle command redirections, and much more. This is particularly useful when dealing with complex commands or dynamically generated commands.
Features
- Abstract representation of command line commands, options, flags, and arguments
- Support for subcommands and command composition
- Redirection and pipe handling
- Intuitive API for building and interpreting commands
See the Index for the complete list of documented functions and types.
The code is hosted on GitHub, with some continuous integration services to test its validity.

Installation
The package can be installed with the Julia package manager. From the Julia REPL, type ] to enter the Pkg REPL mode and run:
pkg> add ComposableCommandsOr, equivalently, via the Pkg API:
julia> import Pkg; Pkg.add("ComposableCommands")Resolving package versions...

- Style Guide
- Design Principles
- Consistency vs adherence
- Community contribution guidelines
- Open source contributions are allowed to start small and grow over time
- Generic code is preferred unless code is known to be specific
- Internal types should match the types used by users when possible
- Trait definition and adherence to generic interface is preferred when possible
- Macros should be limited and only be used for syntactic sugar
- Errors should be caught as high as possible, and error messages should be contextualized for newcomers
- Subpackaging and interface packages is preferred over conditional modules via Requires.jl
- Functions should either attempt to be non-allocating and reuse caches, or treat inputs as immutable
- Out-of-place and immutability is preferred when sufficient performant
- Tests should attempt to cover a wide gamut of input types
- When in doubt, a submodule should become a subpackage or separate package
- Globals should be avoided whenever possible
- Type-stable and type-grounded code is preferred wherever possible
- Closures should be avoided whenever possible
- Numerical functionality should use the appropriate generic numerical interfaces
- Functions should capture one underlying principle
- Internal choices should be exposed as options whenever possible
- Prefer code reuse over rewrites whenever possible
- Prefer to not shadow functions
