Use a real option parser about phake HOT 10 OPEN

thoughts about switching to a more robust option parser?

+1

This will big a big step towards addressing #32.

Does anybody have a preferred package?

Not yet, but I'll see I can come up with a lightweight alternative.

from phake.

what about using the symfony console component for input/output ?

from phake.

As long as it's modular/lightweight I'm all for it. I'll check it out

from phake.

That cans be a good things.
And permit to easily add helpers like that http://symfony.com/doc/current/components/console/helpers/index.html

Open to help one this point, just ping me.

IMO Symfony Console is everything, but not lightview.

First of all: option parsing and the things called InputInterface and OutputInterface are not the same.

BTW "output": I prefer CLImate these days.

@jaz303 check this:

from phake.

or this:
https://github.com/nategood/commando

from phake.

or this:
https://github.com/c9s/GetOptionKit

(probably this is the most robust one)

Thank you for putting in the time to do this research. I'll check those out next week and hopefully integrate one.

I'm all for it. Hopefully, the command line options can extend to tasks as well. Tasks often require parameters and it would be nice if there was a standard way for the task to specify which parameters are accepted, which are required, and to provide some basic validation (parameter types, for example).
