## Usage
2015-11-05 20:43:34 +00:00
this plugin tries to establish some logic in which CLI tools work.
take the following commandline input:
```
2016-11-19 16:48:07 +00:00
mytool command argument1 argument2 --option1 -o2 option2Value
2015-11-05 20:43:34 +00:00
```
2016-11-19 16:48:07 +00:00
* `mytool` obviously is the tool (like git)
* `command` is the main thing the tool shall do (like commit)
2016-11-19 16:48:56 +00:00
* `argument1` and `argument2` are arguments
2016-11-19 16:48:07 +00:00
* `option1` is a longform option you can add (like --message for message)
* `optionValue` is the referenced option value (like a commit message)
When there is no command and no option specified the standardTask applied.
When there is a option specified but no command, standardTask applies,
except when of the options is -v, --version or --help.

2016-11-19 14:02:24 +00:00
```javascript
2016-08-26 09:52:09 +00:00
import {Smartcli} from "smartcli"
mySmartcli = new Smartcli();
mySmartcli.standardTask()
.then(argvArg => {
// do something if program is called without an command
});
2016-10-14 22:56:02 +00:00
mySmartcli.addCommand({commandname: 'install'})
.then(argvArg => {
// do something if program is called with command "install"
})
2016-11-19 14:02:24 +00:00
mySmartcli.addVersion('1.0.0') // -v and --version options will display the specified version in the terminal
mySmartCli.addHelp({ // is triggered by help command and --help option
helpText: 'some help text to print' // the helpText to display
})
mySmartcli.startParse() // starts the evaluation and fullfills or rejects promises.
