cmd

cmd copied to clipboard

What happens if someone wants to use one cmd instance twice, like Cmd.dir(s:true)(); Cmd.type("my file.txt")();

I would recommend to return new object instead of this, and make it a combination of the current object and arguments. This will also allow partial specification objects, like

Var gitpull = cmd.git.pull; gitpull("./")();

Idea on arguments vs invocation: indexers

Cmd.dir.s[true].order["name"]();
Cmd.type("myfile.txt"); // executes without another()

Yes, returning new object is definitley on the cards. Nice idea on the indexers. Would love pull request too :)

You can now run multiple commands on a single instance of cmd.

I am still thinking if the below scenario should be allowed:

var git = cmd.git;
git.clone();
git.branch(a: true);

Currently, the above will not work, as the git will be a single object.

I would suggest to make the cmd class immutable, and every time you access a member (of root or member object), instead of modifying the instance, you create and return a new instance, just like string class behaves. to avoid copying command list you might store parent reference, and build the list from parent chain at execution time.

cmd now returns an instance of another object.

For example, cmd.git returns a new object ( of different ) type

cmd is effectively "immutable", but yeah, I suppose it makes sense to create new objects on each command?

Yes, I mean that instead of having "commando" object you might return a new cmd object.
