Detailed Description

An argument that handles input values that are only a name, mostly known as flags.

The presence and absence of a flag indicate two different values.

Template Parameters

TValueType the type of the values represented by the flag

Since: 0.2.0

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ FlagArgument() [1/2]

Joutsen.ArgumentsParsing.FlagArgument< TValueType >.FlagArgument	(	String	flag,
		String	alternative,
		String	destination,
		TValueType	parsedValue,
		TValueType	unparsedValue = `default(TValueType)`,
		String	help = `null`
	)

Creates a new instance of the argument.

Parameters

flag	the name of the flag as it appears in the input list
alternative	an alternative name that is usually a longer version of the flag as it appears in the input list
destination	the property name of the target instance which shall recieve the parsed value. If this is null the name will be used instead.
parsedValue	the resulting parsed value of the argument if it was present in the input list
unparsedValue	the resulting default value of the argument if it was NOT present in the input list
help	a help text describing the parameter. It will be used to generade the description of the argument.

◆ FlagArgument() [2/2]

Joutsen.ArgumentsParsing.FlagArgument< TValueType >.FlagArgument	(	String	flag,
		String	alternative,
		String	destination,
		bool	value = `true`,
		String	help = `null`
	)

Creates a new instance of the argument.

Parameters

flag	the name of the flag as it appears in the input list
alternative	an alternative name that is usually a longer version of the flag as it appears in the input list
destination	the property name of the target instance which shall recieve the parsed value. If this is null the name will be used instead.
value	the resulting boolean value of the argument if it was present in the input list. The inverted value becomes the defaultValue.
help	a help text describing the parameter. It will be used to generade the description of the argument.

Member Function Documentation

◆ Create< TargetType >()

static FlagArgument Joutsen.ArgumentsParsing.FlagArgument< TValueType >.Create< TargetType >	(	String	flag,
		String	alternative,
		Expression< Func< TargetType, bool > >	destination = `null`,
		bool	value = `true`,
		string	help = `null`
	)

static

Creates a new instance of the FlagArgument.

Template Parameters

TargetType the type of the target object that will receive the parsed values.

Parameters

flag	the name of the flag as it appears in the input list
alternative	an alternative name that is usually a longer version of the flag as it appears in the input list
destination	an expression describing the property of the target instance which shall recieve the parsed value. If this is null the target property will be found using the name of the argument.
value	the resulting boolean value of the argument if it was present in the input list. The inverted value becomes the defaultValue.
help	a help text describing the parameter. It will be used to generade the description of the argument.

◆ Create< TargetType, ValueType >()

static FlagArgument< ValueType > Joutsen.ArgumentsParsing.FlagArgument< TValueType >.Create< TargetType, ValueType >	(	String	flag,
		String	alternative,
		Expression< Func< TargetType, ValueType > >	destination,
		ValueType	parsedValue,
		ValueType	unparsedValue = `default(ValueType)`,
		string	help = `null`
	)

static

Creates a new instance of the typed FlagArgument.

Template Parameters

TargetType	the type of the target object that will receive the parsed values.
ValueType	the type of the ValueArgument and the property on the target object

Parameters

flag	the name of the flag as it appears in the input list
alternative	an alternative name that is usually a longer version of the flag as it appears in the input list
destination	an expression describing the property of the target instance which shall recieve the parsed value. If this is null the target property will be found using the name of the argument.
parsedValue	the resulting parsed value of the argument if it was present in the input list
unparsedValue	the resulting default value of the argument if it was NOT present in the input list
help	a help text describing the parameter. It will be used to generade the description of the argument.
