External subcommands are now supported via the following:
```rust
extern crate clap;
use clap::{App, AppSettings};
fn main() {
// Assume there is a third party subcommand named myprog-subcmd
let m = App::new("myprog")
.setting(AppSettings::AllowExternalSubcommands)
.get_matches_from(vec![
"myprog", "subcmd", "--option", "value", "-fff", "--flag"
]);
// All trailing arguments will be stored under the subcommands sub-matches under a
// value of their runtime name (in this case "subcmd")
match m.subcommand() {
(external, Some(ext_m)) => {
let ext_args: Vec<&str> = ext_m.values_of(external).unwrap().collect();
assert_eq!(ext_args ,["--option", "value", "-fff", "--flag"]);
},
_ => unreachable!()
}
}
```
Closes#372
By using AppSettings::AllowLeadingHyphen values starting with a
leading hyphen (such as a negative number) are supported. This
setting should be used with caution as it silences certain
circumstances which would otherwise be an error (like forgetting
a value to an option argument).
Closes#385
This commit adds support for values separated by commas such as
--option=val1,val2,val3. It also includes support for uses
without the equals and shorts (both with and without)
--option=val1,val2
--option val1,val2
-oval1,val2
-o=val1,val2
-o val1,val2
Closes#348
Tons of code has been moved into functions, deduplicated, made much
easier to read, maintain, and understand. Comments still need to be
added, but that will happen shortly. Modules have also been moved around
to follow Rust conventions and best practices.
All functionality remains exactly the same
There is now an AnyArg trait which lets you (clap dev, not consumer) get
info about certain args regardless of their type. Allows more generic
and de-duplicated code
