Overview

A library is a group of commands (Command objects) usually grouped together by a module. Libraries are loaded from different sources depending on the library subclass.

Creating Your Own Library

To create your own subclass you need to define what sources the subclass can handle with handles(). See Loader to see what instance methods to override for a subclass.

Constructor Details

#initialize(hash) ⇒ Library

Creates a library object with the given hash. Each hash pair maps directly to an instance variable and value. Defaults for attributes are read from config[@library_name].

Parameters:

  • hash (Hash)

Options Hash (hash):

  • :name (String) —

    Required attribute

  • :commands (Array, Hash) —

    Commands belonging to a library. A hash configures command attributes for the given commands with command names pointing to their configs. See Command.new for a command’s configurable attributes. If an array, the commands are set for the given library, overidding default command detection. Example:

    :commands=>{'commands'=>{:desc=>'Lists commands', :alias=>'com'}}
  • :force (Boolean) —

    Forces a library to ignore when a library’s methods are overriding existing ones. Use with caution. Default is false.
