Command line parser and builder.

Examples

Basic parsing (single command)

<?php

use Veejay\Cli;

$argv = ['index.php', 'cmd', '--option=one', '-v', 'arg'];

$cli = new Cli($argv);
$cli->setScriptName(); // index.php
$cli->getCommands(); // ['cmd']
$cli->getOptions(); // ['option' => 'one', 'v' => true]
$cli->getArguments(); // ['arg']

Nested commands parsing

<?php

use Veejay\Cli;

$argv = ['index.php', 'cmd1', 'cmd2', 'arg'];

$cli = new Cli($argv, 2);
$cli->getCommands(); // ['cmd1', 'cmd2']
$cli->getArguments(); // ['arg']

Builder

<?php

use Veejay\Cli;

$cli = new Cli;
$cli->setScriptName('index.php');
$cli->addCommand('cmd');
$cli->addOptions([
    'option' => 'one',
    'v' => true
]);
$cli->addArgument('arg');

$cli->getArgv(); // ['index.php', 'cmd', '--option=one', '-v', 'arg']
$cli->stringify(); // index.php cmd --option=one -v arg
