muud

A simple upgrade to mingy to support command aliases, promise, and array returns. For basic usage, you can see that repository.

It also strips out almost everything but Parsers and Validators. No Shell, no web server, no clients.

Install

npm i muud

Differences From Mingy

There are a few, mostly syntactical:

• args and env are no longer passed in separately to the logic functions. You can find them as a single object on the logic function now.
• You can return any value from the parser logic function, not just strings.
• logic functions can now be async.
• logic functions now always return an array. You can return multiple messages back to the user in order this way, without any hacky workarounds.
• Command#set() has been split out into setSyntax and setLogic.
• You can pass an Env into Parser#parse to set a scoped Env for that specific run of the parser.
• You can now have multiple prefix aliases when setting command syntax, to avoid redundancy: setSyntax(['go', 'travel'], '<string:direction>'). This would expand into go <string:direction> and travel <string:direction>.

Usage

 
import { Parser } from 'muud';
 
const parser = new Parser();
 
parser.setEnv('test', 1);
 
parser.addCommand('hello')
  .setSyntax(['hello'])
  .setLogic(async () => {
    return 'Hello!';
  });
 
parser.addCommand('go')
  .setSyntax(['go <string:direction>', 'go2 <string:direction>'])
  .setLogic(async ({ args }) => {
    return ['Went', args.direction];
  });
 
parser.addCommand('zoop')
  .setSyntax(['zoop1', 'zoop2'], 'suffix')
  .setLogic(async ({ env }) => {
    return ['zoop', env.test];
  });
 
const res1 = await parser.parse('hello');
console.log(res1);  // ['Hello!']
 
const res2 = await parser.parse('hello2');
console.log(res2);  // ['Hello2!', 'Yo!', 1]
 
const res3 = await parser.parse('go2 north');
console.log(res3);  // ['Went', 'north']
 
const res4 = await parser.parse('zoop1 suffix');
console.log(res4);  // ['zoop', 1]
 
const res5 = await parser.parse('zoop1 suffix', { test: 2 });
console.log(res5);  // ['zoop', 2]
