## Usage
this plugin tries to establish some logic in which CLI tools work.
take the following commandline input:
```
2017-04-22 19:03:28 +00:00
mytool command argument1 argument2 --option1 -o2 option2Value
2016-09-04 15:32:12 +00:00
```
2018-06-28 21:57:40 +00:00
- `mytool` obviously is the tool (like git)
- `command` is the main thing the tool shall do (like commit)
- `argument1` and `argument2` are arguments
- `option1` is a longform option you can add (like --message for message)
- `optionValue` is the referenced option value (like a commit message)
2017-04-22 19:03:28 +00:00
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.

2017-04-22 19:03:28 +00:00
```javascript
import { Smartcli } from 'smartcli';
2016-09-04 15:32:12 +00:00
mySmartcli = new Smartcli();
mySmartcli.standardTask().then(argvArg => {
// do something if program is called without an command
});
2016-09-04 15:32:12 +00:00
mySmartcli.addCommand({ commandname: 'install' }).then(argvArg => {
// do something if program is called with command "install"
});
2017-04-22 19:03:28 +00:00
mySmartcli.addVersion('1.0.0'); // -v and --version options will display the specified version in the terminal
2017-04-22 19:03:28 +00:00
mySmartCli.addHelp({
// is triggered by help command and --help option
2017-04-22 19:03:28 +00:00
helpText: 'some help text to print' // the helpText to display
});
2017-04-22 19:03:28 +00:00
mySmartcli.startParse(); // starts the evaluation and fullfills or rejects promises.
