Example

Simple example for Ezcli.

package main

import (
    "fmt"

    "github.com/5elenay/ezcli"
)

func main() {
    handler := ezcli.CreateHandler() // Create handle function also gives built-in help command. So you dont need to write a help command yourself.

    // Adding a new command.
    handler.AddCommand(&ezcli.Command{
        Name:        "hello", // Command name.
        Description: "Say hello world!", // Command description.
        Options: []*ezcli.CommandOption{ // Command options (example: -force, -confirm etc...).
            {
                Name:        "test", // Option name.
                Description: "A test command", // Option description.
            },
        },
        Execute: func(c *ezcli.Command) { // The function will run.
            fmt.Println("Hello Command!")
        },
    })

    handler.Handle() // Handle commands.
}

Now lets compile our app with go build .

Time to test our app! Run the compiled app with ./<name> help

You should get the following result:

List of all commands. For more information, add a command name parameter to command.
  help | Built-in help command for application.
  hello | Say hello world!

Lets test our hello command with ./<name> hello:

Hello Command!

Congrats, you created your first app with Ezcli!
