Complete Guide: How to Use Java's Chicory CLI Box
The Chiry CLI box is a Java command-line interface (CLI) framework used to assist developers in creating interactive command-line tools. This article will provide a detailed introduction to how to use Java's Chicory CLI framework and provide some Java code examples.
1. Install the Chicory CLI framework
Firstly, you need to install the Chicory CLI framework in the Java project. You can achieve this by adding the following dependencies to the project's build configuration file:
<dependency>
<groupId>io.github.chicoryframework</groupId>
<artifactId>chicory-cli-framework</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0</version>
</dependency>
Alternatively, if you are using the Gradle build tool:
groovy
implementation 'io.github.chicoryframework:chicory-cli-framework:1.0.0'
2. Create a CLI application
Now, you can start creating a Chicory CLI application. Firstly, create a Java class and extend the 'ChicoryApplication' class. This class will become the entry point for your CLI application.
import io.github.chicoryframework.chicory.core.ChicoryApplication;
public class MyCLIApplication extends ChicoryApplication {
public static void main(String[] args) {
MyCLIApplication application = new MyCLIApplication();
application.run(args);
}
//Add your command line operations and logic here
}
3. Add commands and actions
Now, you can add your commands and operations in the 'MyCLIApplication' class. You can define commands and parameters by using annotations such as' @ Command 'and' @ Argument '.
import io.github.chicoryframework.chicory.command.Command;
import io.github.chicoryframework.chicory.command.argument.Argument;
public class MyCLIApplication extends ChicoryApplication {
@Command (name="hello", description="Print Welcome Message")
public void helloCommand() {
System. out. println ("Welcome to the Chicory CLI framework!");
}
@Command (name="greet", description="Send greetings to users")
Public void greetCommand (@ Argument (name="name", description="username") String name){
System. out. println ("Hello,"+name+"!");
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
MyCLIApplication application = new MyCLIApplication();
application.run(args);
}
}
In the above example, we defined two commands: 'hello' and 'greet'` The hello 'command will print a welcome message, while the' greet 'command will send a greeting based on the name provided by the user.
4. Run the CLI application
After completing the definition of commands and operations, you can start your CLI application by running the 'main' method of the 'MyCLIApplication' class.
You can use command line parameters to call different commands and operations.
shell
java MyCLIApplication hello
This will execute the 'hello' command and output a welcome message.
shell
java MyCLIApplication greet "John Doe"
This will execute the 'greet' command and send a greeting to user 'John Doe'.
Now, you have learned how to use Java's Chicory CLI framework to create an interactive command-line tool. You can add more commands and operations according to your own needs to create a powerful CLI application. Wishing you success in the development process!
