<strong>
    A command line argument parser for Java 17 with


    ease of use and high customization possibilities in mind.
</strong>

Example

• First, we define our Command by creating a Command Template.

  ```java @Command.Define class MyProgram extends CommandTemplate { @Argument.Define(required = true, positional = true, description = "The name of the user.") public String name;

  @Argument.Define(type = String.class, description = "The surname of the user.")
  public Optional<String> surname;
  
  @Argument.Define(names = {"age", "a"}, description = "The age of the user.", prefix = Argument.Prefix.PLUS)
  public int age = 18;
  
  @InitDef
  public static void beforeInit(@NotNull CommandBuildContext ctx) {
      // configure the argument "age" to have an argument type of
      // number range and set the range to 18-100
      ctx.argWithType("age", new NumberRangeArgumentType<>(18, 100))
          .onOk(v -> System.out.println("The age is valid!"));
  }
  

  } ```

• Then, let that class definition also serve as the container for the parsed values.

  ```java public static void main(String[] args) { // example: david +a20 var myProgram = ArgumentParser.parseFromInto(MyProgram.class, args);

  System.out.printf(
      "Welcome %s! You are %d years old.%n",
      myProgram.name, myProgram.age
  );
  
  // if no surname was specified, we'll show "none" instead
  System.out.printf("The surname of the user is %s.%n", myProgram.surname.orElse("none"));
  

  } ```
