scala-argparse

Pragmatic command line parsing for Scala applications.

Highlights

• Simple interface, inspired by the argparse package from python.

• Bash completion.

  • Standalone bash completion for a super snappy user experience, even on the JVM.

  • Interactive bash completion for the most custom needs.

• Works with Scala 2 and 3, Native and JVM

Building

This project uses Mill to build. The configuration is in the build.sc file.

Developer

• compile main project for all supported versions of scala: ./mill argparse.__.compile
• run all tests: ./mill __.test
• run an example:
  • ./mill examples.<name of example> <arguments>
  • e.g. ./mill examples.paramnamed --verbosity 5
  • note: examples use Scala Native and hence require llvm
• publish main project locally: ./mill argparse.__.publishLocal

Maintainer

Look at the scripts in the ci/ directory.
