Module: Toys::DSL::Tool
- Defined in:
- lib/toys/dsl/tool.rb
Overview
This class defines the DSL for a Toys configuration file.
A Toys configuration defines one or more named tools. It provides syntax for setting the description, defining flags and arguments, specifying how to execute the tool, and requesting mixin modules and other services. It also lets you define subtools, nested arbitrarily deep, using blocks.
Simple example
Create a file called .toys.rb
in the current directory, with the
following contents:
tool "greet" do
desc "Prints a simple greeting"
optional_arg :recipient, default: "world"
def run
puts "Hello, #{recipient}!"
end
end
Now you can execute it using:
toys greet
or try:
toys greet rubyists

Instance Method Details
#acceptor(name, spec = nil, type_desc: nil, &block) ⇒ self
Create a named acceptor that can be referenced by name from any flag or positional argument in this tool or its subtools.
An acceptor validates the string parameter passed to a flag or positional argument. It also optionally converts the string to a different object before storing it in your tool's data.
Acceptors can be defined in one of four ways.
You can provide a regular expression. This acceptor validates only if the regex matches the entire string parameter.
You can also provide an optional conversion function as a block. If provided, function must take a variable number of arguments, the first being the matched string and the remainder being the captures from the regular expression. It should return the converted object that will be stored in the context data. If you do not provide a block, the original string will be used.
You can provide an array of possible values. The acceptor validates if the string parameter matches the string form of one of the array elements (i.e. the results of calling
to_s
on the array elements.)An array acceptor automatically converts the string parameter to the actual array element that it matched. For example, if the symbol
:foo
is in the array, it will match the string"foo"
, and then store the symbol:foo
in the tool data.You can provide a range of possible values, along with a conversion function that converts a string parameter to a type comparable by the range. (See the "function" spec below for a detailed description of conversion functions.) If the range has numeric endpoints, the conversion function is optional because a default will be provided.
You can provide a function by passing it as a proc or a block. This function performs both validation and conversion. It should take the string parameter as its argument, and it must either return the object that should be stored in the tool data, or raise an exception (descended from
StandardError
) to indicate that the string parameter is invalid.
Example
The following example creates an acceptor named "hex" that is defined via a regular expression. It then uses it to validate values passed to a flag.
tool "example" do
acceptor "hex", /[0-9a-fA-F]+/, type_desc: "hex numbers"
flag :number, accept: "hex"
def run
puts "number was #{number}"
end
end

#alias_tool(word, target) ⇒ self
Create an alias, representing an "alternate name" for a tool.
This is functionally equivalent to creating a subtool with the
delegate_to
option, except that alias_tool
takes a relative name
for the delegate.
Example
This example defines a tool and an alias pointing to it. Both the tool
name test
and the alias t
will then refer to the same tool.
tool "test" do
def run
puts "Running tests..."
end
end
alias_tool "t", "test"

#all_required(desc: nil, long_desc: nil, name: nil, report_collisions: true, prepend: false, &block) ⇒ self
Create a flag group of type :required
. If a block is given, flags
defined in the block belong to the group. All flags in this group are
required.
Example
The following example creates a group of required flags.
tool "login" do
all_required do
flag :username, "--username=VAL", desc: "Set username (required)"
flag :password, "--password=VAL", desc: "Set password (required)"
end
# ...
end

#at_least_one(desc: nil, long_desc: nil, name: nil, report_collisions: true, prepend: false, &block) ⇒ self Also known as: at_least_one_required
Create a flag group of type :at_least_one
. If a block is given, flags
defined in the block belong to the group. At least one flag in this
group must be provided on the command line.
Example
The following example creates a group of flags in which one or more may be set.
tool "run-tests" do
at_least_one do
flag :unit, desc: "Run unit tests"
flag :integration, desc: "Run integration tests"
flag :performance, desc: "Run performance tests"
end
# ...
end

#at_most_one(desc: nil, long_desc: nil, name: nil, report_collisions: true, prepend: false, &block) ⇒ self Also known as: at_most_one_required
Create a flag group of type :at_most_one
. If a block is given, flags
defined in the block belong to the group. At most one flag in this
group must be provided on the command line.
Example
The following example creates a group of flags in which either one or none may be set, but not more than one.
tool "provision-server" do
at_most_one do
flag :restore_from_backup, "--restore-from-backup=VAL"
flag :restore_from_image, "--restore-from-image=VAL"
flag :clone_existing, "--clone-existing=VAL"
end
# ...

#complete_tool_args(spec = nil, **options, &block) ⇒ self
Set the shell completion strategy for this tool's arguments. You can pass one of the following:
- The string name of a completion defined in this tool or any of its its ancestors.
- A hash of options to pass to the constructor of ToolDefinition::DefaultCompletion.
-
nil
or:default
to select the standard completion strategy (which is ToolDefinition::DefaultCompletion with no extra options). - Any other specification recognized by Completion.create.
Example
The namespace "foo" supports completion only of subtool names. It does not complete the standard flags (like --help).
tool "foo" do
complete_tool_args complete_args: false, complete_flags: false,
complete_flag_values: false
tool "bar" do
def run
puts "in foo bar"
end
end
end
1393 1394 1395 1396 1397 1398 |
# File 'lib/toys/dsl/tool.rb', line 1393 def complete_tool_args(spec = nil, **, &block) cur_tool = DSL::Internal.current_tool(self, true) return self if cur_tool.nil? cur_tool.completion = Completion.scalarize_spec(spec, , block) self end |
#completion(name, spec = nil, **options, &block) ⇒ self
Create a named completion procedure that may be used by name by any flag or positional arg in this tool or any subtool.
A completion controls tab completion for the value of a flag or
positional argument. In general, it is a Ruby Proc
that takes a
context object (of type Completion::Context) and returns an
array of completion candidate strings.
Completions can be specified in one of three ways.
- A Proc object itself, either passed directly to this directive or provided as a block.
- A static array of strings, indicating the completion candidates independent of context.
- The symbol
:file_system
which indicates that paths in the file system should serve as completion candidates.
Example
The following example defines a completion that uses only the immediate
files in the current directory as candidates. (This is different from
the :file_system
completion which will descend into subdirectories
similar to how bash completes most of its file system commands.)
completion "local-files" do |_context|
`/bin/ls`.split("\n")
end
tool "example" do
flag :file, complete_values: "local-files"
def run
puts "selected file #{file}"
end
end

#context_directory ⇒ String?
Return the context directory for this tool. Generally, this defaults to the directory containing the toys config directory structure being read, but it may be changed by setting a different context directory for the tool.
1595 1596 1597 |
# File 'lib/toys/dsl/tool.rb', line 1595 def context_directory DSL::Internal.current_tool(self, false)&.context_directory || source_info.context_directory end |
#current_tool ⇒ Toys::ToolDefinition
Return the current tool config. This object can be queried to determine such information as the name, but it should not be altered.

# File 'lib/toys/dsl/tool.rb', line 1605 def current_tool DSL::Internal.current_tool(self, false) end |
#delegate_to(target) ⇒ self
Causes the current tool to delegate to another tool. When run, it simply invokes the target tool with the same arguments.
Example
This example defines a tool that runs one of its subtools. Running the
test
tool will have the same effect (and recognize the same args) as
the subtool test unit
.
tool "test" do
tool "unit" do
flag :faster
def run
puts "running tests..."
end
end
delegate_to "test:unit"
end
388 389 390 391 392 393 |
# File 'lib/toys/dsl/tool.rb', line 388 def delegate_to(target) cur_tool = DSL::Internal.current_tool(self, true) return self if cur_tool.nil? cur_tool.delegate_to(@__loader.split_path(target)) self end |
#desc(str) ⇒ self Also known as: short_desc
Set the short description for the current tool. The short description
is displayed with the tool in a subtool list. You may also use the
equivalent method short_desc
.
The description is a WrappableString, which may be word-wrapped when displayed in a help screen. You may pass a WrappableString directly to this method, or you may pass any input that can be used to construct a wrappable string:
- If you pass a String, its whitespace will be compacted (i.e. tabs, newlines, and multiple consecutive whitespace will be turned into a single space), and it will be word-wrapped on whitespace.
- If you pass an Array of Strings, each string will be considered a literal word that cannot be broken, and wrapping will be done across the strings in the array. In this case, whitespace is not compacted.
Examples
If you pass in a sentence as a simple string, it may be word wrapped when displayed:
desc "This sentence may be wrapped."
To specify a sentence that should never be word-wrapped, pass it as the sole element of a string array:
desc ["This sentence will not be wrapped."]

# File 'lib/toys/dsl/tool.rb', line 535 def desc(str) cur_tool = DSL::Internal.current_tool(self, true) return self if cur_tool.nil? cur_tool.desc = str self end |
#disable_argument_parsing ⇒ self
Disable argument parsing for this tool. Arguments will not be parsed and the options will not be populated. Instead, tools can retrieve the full unparsed argument list by calling Context#args.
This directive is mutually exclusive with any of the directives that declare arguments or flags.

# File 'lib/toys/dsl/tool.rb', line 1329 def disable_argument_parsing DSL::Internal.current_tool(self, true)&.disable_argument_parsing self end |
#disable_flag(*flags) ⇒ self
Mark one or more flags as disabled, preventing their use by any subsequent flag definition. This can be used to prevent middleware from defining a particular flag.
Example
This tool does not support the -v
and -q
short forms for the two
verbosity flags (although it still supports the long forms --verbose
and --quiet
.)
tool "mytool" do
disable_flag "-v", "-q"
def run
# ...
end
end

# File 'lib/toys/dsl/tool.rb', line 1355 def disable_flag(*flags) DSL::Internal.current_tool(self, true)&.disable_flag(*flags) self end |
#enforce_flags_before_args(state = true) ⇒ self
Enforce that all flags must be provided before any positional args.
That is, as soon as the first positional arg appears in the command
line arguments, flag parsing is disabled as if --
had appeared.
Issuing this directive by itself turns on enforcement. You may turn it
off by passsing false
as the parameter.

#exactly_one(desc: nil, long_desc: nil, name: nil, report_collisions: true, prepend: false, &block) ⇒ self Also known as: exactly_one_required
Create a flag group of type :exactly_one
. If a block is given, flags
defined in the block belong to the group. Exactly one flag in this
group must be provided on the command line.
Example
The following example creates a group of flags in which exactly one must be set.
tool "deploy" do
exactly_one do
flag :server, "--server=IP_ADDR", desc: "Deploy to server"
flag :vm, "--vm=ID", desc: "Deploy to a VM"
flag :container, "--container=ID", desc: "Deploy to a container"
end
# ...
end

#expand(template_class, *args, **kwargs) {|template| ... } ⇒ self
Expand the given template in the current location.
The template may be specified as a class or a well-known template name. You may also provide arguments to pass to the template.
Example
The following example creates and uses a simple template.
template "hello-generator" do
def initialize(name, )
@name = name
@message =
end
attr_reader :name, :message
expansion do |template|
tool template.name do
to_run do
puts template.
end
end
end
end
"hello-generator", "mytool", "mytool is running!"

#find_data(path, type: nil) ⇒ String?
Find the given data path (file or directory).
Data directories are a convenient place to put images, archives, keys,
or other such static data needed by your tools. Data files are located
in a directory called .data
inside a Toys directory. This directive
locates a data file during tool definition.
Example
This tool reads its description from a text file in the .data
directory.
tool "mytool" do
path = find_data("mytool-desc.txt", type: :file)
desc IO.read(path) if path
def run
# ...
end
end
1582 1583 1584 |
# File 'lib/toys/dsl/tool.rb', line 1582 def find_data(path, type: nil) source_info.find_data(path, type: type) end |
#flag(key, *flags, accept: nil, default: nil, handler: nil, complete_flags: nil, complete_values: nil, report_collisions: true, group: nil, desc: nil, long_desc: nil, display_name: nil, &block) ⇒ self
Add a flag to the current tool. Each flag must specify a key which the script may use to obtain the flag value from the context. You may then provide the flags themselves in OptionParser form.
If the given key is a symbol representing a valid method name, then a helper method is automatically added to retrieve the value. Otherwise, if the key is a string or does not represent a valid method name, the tool can retrieve the value by calling Context#get.
Attributes of the flag may be passed in as arguments to this method, or set in a block passed to this method. If you provide a block, you can use directives in Flag within the block.
Flag syntax
The flags themselves should be provided in OptionParser form. Following are examples of valid syntax.
-
-a
: A short boolean switch. When this appears as an argument, the value is set totrue
. -
--abc
: A long boolean switch. When this appears as an argument, the value is set totrue
. -
-aVAL
or-a VAL
: A short flag that takes a required value. These two forms are treated identically. If this argument appears with a value attached (e.g.-afoo
), the attached string (e.g."foo"
) is taken as the value. Otherwise, the following argument is taken as the value (e.g. for-a foo
, the value is set to"foo"
.) The following argument is treated as the value even if it looks like a flag (e.g.-a -a
causes the string"-a"
to be taken as the value.) -
-a[VAL]
: A short flag that takes an optional value. If this argument appears with a value attached (e.g.-afoo
), the attached string (e.g."foo"
) is taken as the value. Otherwise, the value is set totrue
. The following argument is never interpreted as the value. (Compare with-a [VAL]
.) -
-a [VAL]
: A short flag that takes an optional value. If this argument appears with a value attached (e.g.-afoo
), the attached string (e.g."foo"
) is taken as the value. Otherwise, if the following argument does not look like a flag (i.e. it does not begin with a hyphen), it is taken as the value. (e.g.-a foo
causes the string"foo"
to be taken as the value.). If there is no following argument, or the following argument looks like a flag, the value is set totrue
. (Compare with-a[VAL]
.) -
--abc=VAL
or--abc VAL
: A long flag that takes a required value. These two forms are treated identically. If this argument appears with a value attached (e.g.--abc=foo
), the attached string (e.g."foo"
) is taken as the value. Otherwise, the following argument is taken as the value (e.g. for--abc foo
, the value is set to"foo"
.) The following argument is treated as the value even if it looks like a flag (e.g.--abc --def
causes the string"--def"
to be taken as the value.) -
--abc[=VAL]
: A long flag that takes an optional value. If this argument appears with a value attached (e.g.--abc=foo
), the attached string (e.g."foo"
) is taken as the value. Otherwise, the value is set totrue
. The following argument is never interpreted as the value. (Compare with--abc [VAL]
.) -
--abc [VAL]
: A long flag that takes an optional value. If this argument appears with a value attached (e.g.--abc=foo
), the attached string (e.g."foo"
) is taken as the value. Otherwise, if the following argument does not look like a flag (i.e. it does not begin with a hyphen), it is taken as the value. (e.g.--abc foo
causes the string"foo"
to be taken as the value.). If there is no following argument, or the following argument looks like a flag, the value is set totrue
. (Compare with--abc=[VAL]
.) -
--[no-]abc
: A long boolean switch that can be turned either on or off. This effectively creates two flags,--abc
which sets the value totrue
, and--no-abc
which sets the falue tofalse
.
Default flag syntax
If no flag syntax strings are provided, a default syntax will be inferred based on the key and other options.
Specifically, if the key has one character, then that character will be chosen as a short flag. If the key has multiple characters, a long flag will be generated.
Furthermore, if a custom completion, a non-boolean acceptor, or a non-boolean default value is provided in the options, then the flag will be considered to take a value. Otherwise, it will be considered to be a boolean switch.
For example, the following pairs of flags are identical:
flag :a
flag :a, "-a"
flag :abc_def
flag :abc_def, "--abc-def"
flag :number, accept: Integer
flag :number, "--number=VAL", accept: Integer
More examples
A flag that sets its value to the number of times it appears on the command line:
flag :verbose, "-v", "--verbose",
default: 0, handler: ->(_val, count) { count + 1 }
An example using block form:
flag :shout do
flags "-s", "--shout"
default false
desc "Say it louder"
long_desc "This flag says it lowder.",
"You might use this when people can't hear you.",
"",
"Example:",

#include(mixin, *args, **kwargs) ⇒ self
Specify that the given module should be mixed into this tool, and its methods made available when running the tool.
You may provide either a module, the string name of a mixin that you have defined in this tool or one of its ancestors, or the symbol name of a well-known mixin.
Example
Include the well-known mixin :terminal
and perform some terminal
magic.
tool "spin" do
include :terminal
def run
# The spinner method is defined by the :terminal mixin.
spinner(leading_text: "Waiting...", final_text: "\n") do

#long_desc(*strs, file: nil, data: nil) ⇒ self
Add to the long description for the current tool. The long description is displayed in the usage documentation for the tool itself. This directive may be given multiple times, and the results are cumulative.
A long description is a series of descriptions, which are generally displayed in a series of lines/paragraphs. Each individual description uses the form described in the #desc documentation, and may be word-wrapped when displayed. To insert a blank line, include an empty string as one of the descriptions.
Example
long_desc "This initial paragraph might get word wrapped.",
"This next paragraph is followed by a blank line.",
"",
["This line will not be wrapped."],
[" This indent is preserved."]
long_desc "This line is appended to the description."

#mixin(name, mixin_module = nil, &block) ⇒ self
Create a named mixin module that can be included by name from this tool or its subtools.
A mixin is a module that defines methods that can be called from a tool. It is commonly used to provide "utility" methods, implementing common functionality and allowing tools to share code.
Normally you provide a block and define the mixin's methods in that block. Alternatively, you can create a module separately and pass it directly to this directive.
Example
The following example creates a named mixin and uses it in a tool.
mixin "error-reporter" do
def error
logger.error "An error occurred: #{}"
exit 1
end
end
tool "build" do
include "error-reporter"
def run
puts "Building..."
error "Build failed!"
end
end

#on_interrupt(handler = nil, &block) ⇒ self
Specify how to handle interrupts.
You may pass a block to be called, or the name of a method to call. In either case, the block or method should take one argument, the Interrupt exception that was raised.
Example
tool "foo" do
def run
sleep 10
end
on_interrupt do |e|
puts "I was interrupted."
end
end
1452 1453 1454 1455 1456 1457 |

#on_usage_error(handler = nil, &block) ⇒ self
Specify how to handle usage errors.
You may pass a block to be called, or the name of a method to call. In either case, the block or method should take one argument, the array of usage errors reported.
Example
This tool runs even if a usage error is encountered. You can find info on the errors from Context::Key::USAGE_ERRORS, Context::Key::UNMATCHED_ARGS, and similar keys.
tool "foo" do
def run
puts "Errors: #{usage_errors.join("\n")}"
end
on_usage_error :run

#optional_arg(key, default: nil, accept: nil, complete: nil, display_name: nil, desc: nil, long_desc: nil, &block) ⇒ self Also known as: optional
Add an optional positional argument to the current tool. You must specify a key which the script may use to obtain the argument value from the context. If an optional argument is not given on the command line, the value is set to the given default.
If the given key is a symbol representing a valid method name, then a helper method is automatically added to retrieve the value. Otherwise, if the key is a string or does not represent a valid method name, the tool can retrieve the value by calling Context#get.
Attributes of the arg may be passed in as arguments to this method, or set in a block passed to this method. If you provide a block, you can use directives in PositionalArg within the block.
Example
This tool creates a "link" to a given target. The link location is optional; if it is not given, it is inferred from the target.
tool "ln" do
required_arg :target
optional_arg :location
def run
loc = location || File.basename(target)
puts "linking to #{target} from #{loc}..."
end
end

#remaining_args(key, default: [], accept: nil, complete: nil, display_name: nil, desc: nil, long_desc: nil, &block) ⇒ self Also known as: remaining
Specify what should be done with unmatched positional arguments. You must specify a key which the script may use to obtain the remaining args from the context.
If the given key is a symbol representing a valid method name, then a helper method is automatically added to retrieve the value. Otherwise, if the key is a string or does not represent a valid method name, the tool can retrieve the value by calling Context#get.
Attributes of the arg may be passed in as arguments to this method, or set in a block passed to this method. If you provide a block, you can use directives in PositionalArg within the block.
Example
This tool displays a "list" of the given directories. If no directories ar given, lists the current directory.
tool "ln" do
remaining_args :directories
def run
dirs = directories.empty? ? [Dir.pwd] : directories
dirs.each do |dir|
puts "Listing directory #{dir}..."
end

#require_exact_flag_match(state = true) ⇒ self
Require that flags must match exactly. That is, flags must appear in their entirety on the command line. (If false, substrings of flags are accepted as long as they are unambiguous.)
Issuing this directive by itself turns on exact match. You may turn it
off by passsing false
as the parameter.

#required_arg(key, accept: nil, complete: nil, display_name: nil, desc: nil, long_desc: nil, &block) ⇒ self Also known as: required
Add a required positional argument to the current tool. You must specify a key which the script may use to obtain the argument value from the context.
If the given key is a symbol representing a valid method name, then a helper method is automatically added to retrieve the value. Otherwise, if the key is a string or does not represent a valid method name, the tool can retrieve the value by calling Context#get.
Attributes of the arg may be passed in as arguments to this method, or set in a block passed to this method. If you provide a block, you can use directives in PositionalArg within the block.
Example
This tool "moves" something from a source to destination, and takes two required arguments:
tool "mv" do
required_arg :source
required_arg :dest
def run
puts "moving from #{source} to #{dest}..."
end
end

#subtool_apply(&block) ⇒ Object
Applies the given block to all subtools, recursively. Effectively, the given block is run at the end of every tool block. This can be used, for example, to provide some shared configuration for all tools.
The block is applied only to subtools defined after the block appears. Subtools defined before the block appears are not affected.
Example
It is common for tools to use the :exec
mixin to invoke external
programs. This example automatically includes the exec mixin in all
subtools, recursively, so you do not have to repeat the include
directive in every tool.
# .toys.rb
subtool_apply do
# Include the mixin only if the tool hasn't already done so
unless include?(:exec)
include :exec, exit_on_nonzero_status: true
end
end
tool "foo" do
def run
# This tool has access to methods defined by the :exec mixin
# because the above block is applied to the tool.
sh "echo hello"
end
end

#template(name, template_class = nil, &block) ⇒ self
Create a named template that can be expanded by name from this tool or its subtools.
A template is an object that generates DSL directives. You can use it
to build "prefabricated" tools, and then instantiate them in your Toys
files. Generally, a template is a class with an associated expansion
procedure. The class defines parameters for the template expansion,
and expansion
includes DSL directives that should be run based on
those parameters.
Normally, you provide a block and define the template class in that
block. Most templates will define an initialize
method that takes any
arguments passed into the template expansion. The template must also
provide an expansion
block showing how to use the template object to
produce DSL directives.
Alternately, you can create a template class separately and pass it directly. See Template for details on creating a template class.
Example
The following example creates and uses a simple template.
template "hello-generator" do
def initialize(name, )
@name = name
@message =
end
attr_reader :name, :message
expansion do |template|
tool template.name do
to_run do
puts template.
end
end
end
end
"hello-generator", "mytool", "mytool is running!"

#to_run(&block) ⇒ self Also known as: on_run
Specify how to run this tool. Typically you do this by defining a
method namd run
. Alternatively, however, you can pass a block to the
to_run
method.
You may want to do this if your method needs access to local variables in the lexical scope. However, it is often more convenient to use #static to set the value in the context.)
Example
tool "foo" do
cur_time = Time.new
to_run do
puts "The time at tool definition was #{cur_time}"
end
end

# File 'lib/toys/dsl/tool.rb', line 1421 def to_run(&block) cur_tool = DSL::Internal.current_tool(self, true) return self if cur_tool.nil? cur_tool.run_handler = block self end |
#tool(words, if_defined: :combine, delegate_to: nil, &block) ⇒ self
Create a subtool. You must provide a block defining the subtool.
Example
The following example defines a tool and two subtools within it.
tool "build" do
tool "staging" do
def run
puts "Building staging"
end
end
tool "production" do
def run
puts "Building production"
end
end
end
The following example defines a tool that runs one of its subtools.
tool "test", delegate_to: ["test", "unit"] do
tool "unit" do
def run
puts "Running unit tests"
end
end
end
