Flags, Opts, and Positionals now store their internals using compartmented Base, Valued, and
Switched structs to keep the code duplication down and make it easier to maintain.
Iniside the src/app/parser.rs there have been several changes to make reasoning about the code
easier. Primarily moving related sections out of the large get_matches_with into their own
functions.
Now one can build CLIs that support things like `mv <files>... <target>`
There are a few requirements and caveats;
* The final positional argument (and all positional arguments prior) *must* be required
* Only one positional argument may be `multiple(true)`
* Only the second to last, or last positional argument may be `multiple(true)`
Closes#725
Prior to this commit, conflicting error messages and the suggeseted usage would depend on whether
you defined the conflict on both arguments, or just one, and the order in which you specified the
conflicting arguments at runtime.
Now they are symetrical, meaning the suggestions from the error message are consistent, and it no
longer matters if you specify the conflict in one, or both arguments.
Closes#718
Unlike the previous ArgGroups, which made all args in the group mutually exclusive, one can now use
`ArgGroup::multiple(true)` which allows using more than one arg in the group (i.e. they're not all
mutually exclusive). When combined with `ArgGroup::required(true)` this effectively says, "At least
one of the args must be used, and using morethan one is also OK."
Closes#533
One can now use `AppSettings::DontDelimitTrailingValues` to stop clap's default behavior of
delimiting values, even when `--` or `TrailingVarArg` is used. This is useful when passing other
flags and commands through to another program.
Closes#511
Color are now only used when outputting to a termainal/TTY. There are three new settings as well
which can be used to control color output, they are:
* `AppSettings::ColorAuto`: The default, and will only output color when outputting to a terminal or TTY
* `AppSettings::ColorAlways`: Outputs color no matter where the output is going
* `AppSettings::ColorNever`: Never colors output
This now allows one to use things like command line options, or environmental variables to turn
colored output on/off.
Closes#512
For example, if an arg is part of a required group, it will only appear
in the group usage string, and not in both the group as well as the arg
by itself.
Imagine a group containing two args, `arg1` and `--arg2`
OLD:
`myprog <arg1> <arg1|--arg2>`
NEW:
`myprog <arg1|--arg2>`
Closes#498
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
