Martin

An ode to the Rat Pack (Dean Martin) with a Sinatra style DSL for creating command line interfaces to your applications

Example

calc.rb

class Calculator
    def add(*nums)
        nums.reduce(:+)
    end
end

app.rb

require File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/calc'
require 'martin'

configure do
    @calc = Calculator.new
end

command /add (\d+) to (\d+)/ do |a, b|
    puts @calc.add(a.to_i, b.to_i)
end

error do |input|
    puts 'Error: command ' + input.split.first + ' not found.'
end

And that's it! Now run ruby app add 15 to 25 and the application should return 40

This works great coupled with highline
Rubular is a great place to test your regular expressions

Note on Patches/Pull Requests

• Fork the project.
• Make your feature addition or bug fix.
• Add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
• Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
• Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
