Overview

Entrypoint for the Veewee CLI. This class should never be initialized directly (like a typical Thor class). Instead, use Environment#cli to invoke the CLI.

# Defining Custom CLI Commands

If you’re looking to define custom CLI commands, then look at one of the two following classes:

The above linked classes contain the main documentation for each type of command.

Class Method Details

.register(klass, name, usage, description, opts = nil) ⇒ Object

Registers the given class with the CLI so it can be accessed. The class must be a subclass of either Veewee::Command::Base or Veewee::Command::GroupBase. Don’t call this method directly, instead call the Veewee::Command::Base.register or Veewee::Command::GroupBase.register methods.

Parameters:

  • klass (Class) —

    Command class

  • name (String) —

    Command name, accessed at ‘mccloud NAME`

  • usage (String) —

    Command usage, such as “mccloud NAME [–option]”

  • description (String) —

    Description of the command shown during the command listing.

  • opts (Hash) (defaults to: nil) —

    Other options (not gone into detail here, look at the source instead).
