= CoolOptions

== DESCRIPTION:

CoolOptions is a simple wrapper around optparse that provides less options and more convenience.

As a huge fan of optparse due to its flexibility, self-documenting nature, and ease of use, I nevertheless found myself doing almost the exact same thing with it over and over again, and decided to write a thin wrapper around it to handle the common cases. Thus CoolOptions was born.

== SYNOPSIS:

=== Declaration:

options = CoolOptions.parse!("[options] PROJECTNAME") do |o|
o.desc 'Sets up a new Rails project.'
o.on "repository URL", "Remote subversion repository."
o.on "svk", "Use svk.", true
o.on "project-path PATH", "Root of project workspaces.", File.expand_path("~/svk")
o.on "l)repository-path PATH", "Remote repository path.", "/"
o.on "mirror-path SVKPATH", "SVK mirror path.", "//"
o.on "local-pa(t)h SVKPATH", "SVK local path.", "//local"
o.on "create-structure", "Create trunk/tags/branches structure.", true
o.on "finish", "Prep and commit the new project.", true

o.after do |r|
r.project_path = File.expand_path(r.project_path)
o.error("Invalid path.") unless File.exist?(r.project_path)
r.project_name = ARGV.shift
o.error("Project name is required.") unless r.project_name
o.error("Project name is too funky.") unless /^\w+$/ =~ r.project_name
end
end

=== Usage:

$ ./new_rails_project --no-svk -r http://terralien.com/svn/terralien/ myproject

=== Result:

p options.svk # => false
p options.project_path # => '/Users/ntalbott/svk'
p options.repository # => 'http://terralien.com/svn/terralien/'
