Install

using npm

npm install @helloyork/commandparser

How to use

import package

const { Options, Types, default: CommandParser } = require("@helloyork/commandparser");

create a command parser

let options = new Options({
    "add": {
        name: "add", // Human-readable names
        description: "add numbers together",
        head: "/",
        args: {
            "usingArray": { // arg type 1
            // only command that is type-matched will be used
                args: [
                    {
                        name: "arg1",
                        description: "arg1",
                        required: true,
                        type: Types.ARRAY(Types.NUMBER), // number[]
                    },
                ],
                catchAll: true, // if catchAll is enabled, the matched result will contain an array of additional args
                allowExcess: true // match failed is there are some additional args
            },
            // this command will be matched if "/test [1,2,3]"

            "usingNumbers": {
                args: [
                    Types.NUMBER, // equivalent to {type: Types.NUMBER}
                    Types.NUMBER,
                ],
                catchAll: true,
                allowExcess: true
            }
        },
    },
    "test2": {
        // ... another command
    }
});

const parser = new CommandParser({
    commands: options,
    parserConfig: {
        strict: false // default false, if set to true, then failed parse when getting an invalid data type
    }
});

after that, use .parse(YOUR_TEXT) to start

let result = parser.parse("/add [1, 3]");
