|
---|
7 | ## 1.14.1
|
---|
8 |
|
---|
9 | - [issue #30] Change the output used by dashdash's Bash completion support to
|
---|
10 | indicate "there are no completions for this argument" to cope with different
|
---|
11 | sorting rules on different Bash/platforms. For example:
|
---|
12 |
|
---|
13 | $ triton -v -p test2 package get <TAB> # before
|
---|
14 | ##-no -tritonpackage- completions-##
|
---|
15 |
|
---|
16 | $ triton -v -p test2 package get <TAB> # after
|
---|
17 | ##-no-completion- -results-##
|
---|
18 |
|
---|
19 | ## 1.14.0
|
---|
20 |
|
---|
21 | - New `synopsisFromOpt(<option spec>)` function. This will be used by
|
---|
22 | [node-cmdln](https://github.com/trentm/node-cmdln) to put together a synopsis
|
---|
23 | of options for a command. Some examples:
|
---|
24 |
|
---|
25 | > synopsisFromOpt({names: ['help', 'h'], type: 'bool'});
|
---|
26 | '[ --help | -h ]'
|
---|
27 | > synopsisFromOpt({name: 'file', type: 'string', helpArg: 'FILE'});
|
---|
28 | '[ --file=FILE ]'
|
---|
29 |
|
---|
30 |
|
---|
31 | ## 1.13.1
|
---|
32 |
|
---|
33 | - [issue #20] `bashCompletionSpecFromOptions` breaks on an options array with
|
---|
34 | an empty-string group.
|
---|
35 |
|
---|
36 |
|
---|
37 | ## 1.13.0
|
---|
38 |
|
---|
39 | - Update assert-plus dep to 1.x to get recent fixes (particularly for
|
---|
40 | `assert.optional*`).
|
---|
41 |
|
---|
42 | - Drop testing (and official support in packages.json#engines) for node 0.8.x.
|
---|
43 | Add testing against node 5.x and 4.x with `make testall`.
|
---|
44 |
|
---|
45 | - [pull #16] Change the `positiveInteger` type to NOT accept zero (0).
|
---|
46 | For those who might need the old behaviour, see
|
---|
47 | "examples/custom-option-intGteZero.js". (By Dave Pacheco.)
|
---|
48 |
|
---|
49 |
|
---|
50 | ## 1.12.2
|
---|
51 |
|
---|
52 | - Bash completion: Add `argtypes` to specify the types of positional args.
|
---|
53 | E.g. this would allow you to have an `ssh` command with `argtypes = ['host',
|
---|
54 | 'cmd']` for bash completion. You then have to provide Bash functions to
|
---|
55 | handle completing those types via the `specExtra` arg. See
|
---|
56 | "[examples/ddcompletion.js](examples/ddcompletion.js)" for an example.
|
---|
57 |
|
---|
58 | - Bash completion: Tweak so that options or only offered as completions when
|
---|
59 | there is a leading '-'. E.g. `mytool <TAB>` does NOT offer options, `mytool
|
---|
60 | -<TAB>` *does*. Without this, a tool with options would never be able to
|
---|
61 | fallback to Bash's "default" completion. For example `ls <TAB>` wouldn't
|
---|
62 | result in filename completion. Now it will.
|
---|
63 |
|
---|
64 | - Bash completion: A workaround for not being able to explicitly have *no*
|
---|
65 | completion results. Because dashdash's completion uses `complete -o default`,
|
---|
66 | we fallback to Bash's "default" completion (typically for filename
|
---|
67 | completion). Before this change, an attempt to explicitly say "there are
|
---|
68 | no completions that match" would unintentionally trigger filename completion.
|
---|
69 | Instead as a workaround we return:
|
---|
70 |
|
---|
71 | $ ddcompletion --none <TAB> # the 'none' argtype
|
---|
72 | ##-no completions-##
|
---|
73 |
|
---|
74 | $ ddcompletion # a custom 'fruit' argtype
|
---|
75 | apple banana orange
|
---|
76 | $ ddcompletion z
|
---|
77 | ##-no -fruit- completions-##
|
---|
78 |
|
---|
79 | This is a bit of a hack, but IMO a better experience than the surprise
|
---|
80 | of matching a local filename beginning with 'z', which isn't, in this
|
---|
81 | case, a "fruit".
|
---|
82 |
|
---|
83 | ## 1.12.1
|
---|
84 |
|
---|
85 | - Bash completion: Document `<option spec>.completionType`. Add `includeHidden`
|
---|
86 | option to `bashCompletionSpecFromOptions()`. Add support for dealing with
|
---|
87 | hidden subcmds.
|
---|
88 |
|
---|
89 |
|
---|
90 | ## 1.12.0
|
---|
91 |
|
---|
92 | - Support for generating Bash completion files. See the "Bash completion"
|
---|
93 | section of the README.md and "examples/ddcompletion.js" for an example.
|
---|
94 |
|
---|
95 |
|
---|
96 | ## 1.11.0
|
---|
97 |
|
---|
98 | - Add the `arrayFlatten` boolean option to `dashdash.addOptionType` used for
|
---|
99 | custom option types. This allows one to create an `arrayOf...` option type
|
---|
100 | where each usage of the option can return multiple results. For example:
|
---|
101 |
|
---|
102 | node mytool.js --foo a,b --foo c
|
---|
103 |
|
---|
104 | We could define an option type for `--foo` such that
|
---|
105 | `opts.foo = ['a', 'b', 'c']`. See
|
---|
106 | "[examples/custom-option-arrayOfCommaSepString.js](examples/custom-option-arrayOfCommaSepString.js)"
|
---|
107 | for an example.
|
---|
108 |
|
---|
109 |
|
---|
110 | ## 1.10.1
|
---|
111 |
|
---|
112 | - Trim the published package to the minimal bits. Before: 24K tarball, 144K unpacked.
|
---|
113 | After: 12K tarball, 48K unpacked. `npm` won't let me drop the README.md. :)
|
---|
114 |
|
---|
115 |
|
---|
116 | ## 1.10.0
|
---|
117 |
|
---|
118 | - [issue #9] Support `includeDefault` in help config (similar to `includeEnv`) to have a
|
---|
119 | note of an option's default value, if any, in help output.
|
---|
120 | - [issue #11] Fix option group breakage introduced in v1.9.0.
|
---|
121 |
|
---|
122 |
|
---|
123 | ## 1.9.0
|
---|
124 |
|
---|
125 | - [issue #10] Custom option types added with `addOptionType` can specify a
|
---|
126 | "default" value. See "examples/custom-option-fruit.js".
|
---|
127 |
|
---|
128 |
|
---|
129 | ## 1.8.0
|
---|
130 |
|
---|
131 | - Support `hidden: true` in an option spec to have help output exclude this
|
---|
132 | option.
|
---|
133 |
|
---|
134 |
|
---|
135 | ## 1.7.3
|
---|
136 |
|
---|
137 | - [issue #8] Fix parsing of a short option group when one of the
|
---|
138 | option takes an argument. For example, consider `tail` with
|
---|
139 | a `-f` boolean option and a `-n` option that takes a number
|
---|
140 | argument. This should parse:
|
---|
141 |
|
---|
142 | tail -fn5
|
---|
143 |
|
---|
144 | Before this change, that would not parse correctly.
|
---|
145 | It is suspected that this was introduced in version 1.4.0
|
---|
146 | (with commit 656fa8bc71c372ebddad0a7026bd71611e2ec99a).
|
---|
147 |
|
---|
148 |
|
---|
149 | ## 1.7.2
|
---|
150 |
|
---|
151 | - Known issues: #8
|
---|
152 |
|
---|
153 | - Exclude 'tools/' dir in packages published to npm.
|
---|
154 |
|
---|
155 |
|
---|
156 | ## 1.7.1
|
---|
157 |
|
---|
158 | - Known issues: #8
|
---|
159 |
|
---|
160 | - Support an option group *empty string* value:
|
---|
161 |
|
---|
162 | ...
|
---|
163 | { group: '' },
|
---|
164 | ...
|
---|
165 |
|
---|
166 | to render as a blank line in option help. This can help separate loosely
|
---|
167 | related sets of options without resorting to a title for option groups.
|
---|
168 |
|
---|
169 |
|
---|
170 | ## 1.7.0
|
---|
171 |
|
---|
172 | - Known issues: #8
|
---|
173 |
|
---|
174 | - [pull #7] Support for `<parser>.help({helpWrap: false, ...})` option to be able
|
---|
175 | to fully control the formatting for option help (by Patrick Mooney) `helpWrap:
|
---|
176 | false` can also be set on individual options in the option objects, e.g.:
|
---|
177 |
|
---|
178 | var options = [
|
---|
179 | {
|
---|
180 | names: ['foo'],
|
---|
181 | type: 'string',
|
---|
182 | helpWrap: false,
|
---|
183 | help: 'long help with\n newlines' +
|
---|
184 | '\n spaces\n and such\nwill render correctly'
|
---|
185 | },
|
---|
186 | ...
|
---|
187 | ];
|
---|
188 |
|
---|
189 |
|
---|
190 | ## 1.6.0
|
---|
191 |
|
---|
192 | - Known issues: #8
|
---|
193 |
|
---|
194 | - [pull #6] Support headings between groups of options (by Joshua M. Clulow)
|
---|
195 | so that this code:
|
---|
196 |
|
---|
197 | var options = [
|
---|
198 | { group: 'Armament Options' },
|
---|
199 | { names: [ 'weapon', 'w' ], type: 'string' },
|
---|
200 | { group: 'General Options' },
|
---|
201 | { names: [ 'help', 'h' ], type: 'bool' }
|
---|
202 | ];
|
---|
203 | ...
|
---|
204 |
|
---|
205 | will give you this help output:
|
---|
206 |
|
---|
207 | ...
|
---|
208 | Armament Options:
|
---|
209 | -w, --weapon
|
---|
210 |
|
---|
211 | General Options:
|
---|
212 | -h, --help
|
---|
213 | ...
|
---|
214 |
|
---|
215 |
|
---|
216 | ## 1.5.0
|
---|
217 |
|
---|
218 | - Known issues: #8
|
---|
219 |
|
---|
220 | - Add support for adding custom option types. "examples/custom-option-duration.js"
|
---|
221 | shows an example adding a "duration" option type.
|
---|
222 |
|
---|
223 | $ node custom-option-duration.js -t 1h
|
---|
224 | duration: 3600000 ms
|
---|
225 | $ node custom-option-duration.js -t 1s
|
---|
226 | duration: 1000 ms
|
---|
227 | $ node custom-option-duration.js -t 5d
|
---|
228 | duration: 432000000 ms
|
---|
229 | $ node custom-option-duration.js -t bogus
|
---|
230 | custom-option-duration.js: error: arg for "-t" is not a valid duration: "bogus"
|
---|
231 |
|
---|
232 | A custom option type is added via:
|
---|
233 |
|
---|
234 | var dashdash = require('dashdash');
|
---|
235 | dashdash.addOptionType({
|
---|
236 | name: '...',
|
---|
237 | takesArg: true,
|
---|
238 | helpArg: '...',
|
---|
239 | parseArg: function (option, optstr, arg) {
|
---|
240 | ...
|
---|
241 | }
|
---|
242 | });
|
---|
243 |
|
---|
244 | - [issue #4] Add `date` and `arrayOfDate` option types. They accept these date
|
---|
245 | formats: epoch second times (e.g. 1396031701) and ISO 8601 format:
|
---|
246 | `YYYY-MM-DD[THH:MM:SS[.sss][Z]]` (e.g. "2014-03-28",
|
---|
247 | "2014-03-28T18:35:01.489Z"). See "examples/date.js" for an example usage.
|
---|
248 |
|
---|
249 | $ node examples/date.js -s 2014-01-01 -e $(date +%s)
|
---|
250 | start at 2014-01-01T00:00:00.000Z
|
---|
251 | end at 2014-03-29T04:26:18.000Z
|
---|
252 |
|
---|
253 |
|
---|
254 | ## 1.4.0
|
---|
255 |
|
---|
256 | - Known issues: #8
|
---|
257 |
|
---|
258 | - [pull #2, pull #3] Add a `allowUnknown: true` option on `createParser` to
|
---|
259 | allow unknown options to be passed through as `opts._args` instead of parsing
|
---|
260 | throwing an exception (by https://github.com/isaacs).
|
---|
261 |
|
---|
262 | See 'allowUnknown' in the README for a subtle caveat.
|
---|
263 |
|
---|
264 |
|
---|
265 | ## 1.3.2
|
---|
266 |
|
---|
267 | - Fix a subtlety where a *bool* option using both `env` and `default` didn't
|
---|
268 | work exactly correctly. If `default: false` then all was fine (by luck).
|
---|
269 | However, if you had an option like this:
|
---|
270 |
|
---|
271 | options: [ {
|
---|
272 | names: ['verbose', 'v'],
|
---|
273 | env: 'FOO_VERBOSE',
|
---|
274 | 'default': true, // <--- this
|
---|
275 | type: 'bool'
|
---|
276 | } ],
|
---|
277 |
|
---|
278 | wanted `FOO_VERBOSE=0` to make the option false, then you need the fix
|
---|
279 | in this version of dashdash.
|
---|
280 |
|
---|
281 |
|
---|
282 | ## 1.3.1
|
---|
283 |
|
---|
284 | - [issue #1] Fix an envvar not winning over an option 'default'. Previously
|
---|
285 | an option with both `default` and `env` would never take a value from the
|
---|
286 | environment variable. E.g. `FOO_FILE` would never work here:
|
---|
287 |
|
---|
288 | options: [ {
|
---|
289 | names: ['file', 'f'],
|
---|
290 | env: 'FOO_FILE',
|
---|
291 | 'default': 'default.file',
|
---|
292 | type: 'string'
|
---|
293 | } ],
|
---|
294 |
|
---|
295 |
|
---|
296 | ## 1.3.0
|
---|
297 |
|
---|
298 | - [Backward incompatible change for boolean envvars] Change the
|
---|
299 | interpretation of environment variables for boolean options to consider '0'
|
---|
300 | to be false. Previous to this *any* value to the envvar was considered
|
---|
301 | true -- which was quite misleading. Example:
|
---|
302 |
|
---|
303 | $ FOO_VERBOSE=0 node examples/foo.js
|
---|
304 | # opts: { verbose: [ false ],
|
---|
305 | _order: [ { key: 'verbose', value: false, from: 'env' } ],
|
---|
306 | _args: [] }
|
---|
307 | # args: []
|
---|
308 |
|
---|
309 |
|
---|
310 | ## 1.2.1
|
---|
311 |
|
---|
312 | - Fix for `parse.help({includeEnv: true, ...})` handling to ensure that an
|
---|
313 | option with an `env` **but no `help`** still has the "Environment: ..."
|
---|
314 | output. E.g.:
|
---|
315 |
|
---|
316 | { names: ['foo'], type: 'string', env: 'FOO' }
|
---|
317 |
|
---|
318 | ...
|
---|
319 |
|
---|
320 | --foo=ARG Environment: FOO=ARG
|
---|
321 |
|
---|
322 |
|
---|
323 | ## 1.2.0
|
---|
324 |
|
---|
325 | - Transform the option key on the `opts` object returned from
|
---|
326 | `<parser>.parse()` for convenience. Currently this is just
|
---|
327 | `s/-/_/g`, e.g. '--dry-run' -> `opts.dry_run`. This allow one to use hyphen
|
---|
328 | in option names (common) but not have to do silly things like
|
---|
329 | `opt["dry-run"]` to access the parsed results.
|
---|
330 |
|
---|
331 |
|
---|
332 | ## 1.1.0
|
---|
333 |
|
---|
334 | - Environment variable integration. Envvars can be associated with an option,
|
---|
335 | then option processing will fallback to using that envvar if defined and
|
---|
336 | if the option isn't specified in argv. See the "Environment variable
|
---|
337 | integration" section in the README.
|
---|
338 |
|
---|
339 | - Change the `<parser>.parse()` signature to take a single object with keys
|
---|
340 | for arguments. The old signature is still supported.
|
---|
341 |
|
---|
342 | - `dashdash.createParser(CONFIG)` alternative to `new dashdash.Parser(CONFIG)`
|
---|
343 | a la many node-land APIs.
|
---|
344 |
|
---|
345 |
|
---|
346 | ## 1.0.2
|
---|
347 |
|
---|
348 | - Add "positiveInteger" and "arrayOfPositiveInteger" option types that only
|
---|
349 | accept positive integers.
|
---|
350 |
|
---|
351 | - Add "integer" and "arrayOfInteger" option types that accepts only integers.
|
---|
352 | Note that, for better or worse, these do NOT accept: "0x42" (hex), "1e2"
|
---|
353 | (with exponent) or "1.", "3.0" (floats).
|
---|
354 |
|
---|
355 |
|
---|
356 | ## 1.0.1
|
---|
357 |
|
---|
358 | - Fix not modifying the given option spec objects (which breaks creating
|
---|
359 | a Parser with them more than once).
|
---|
360 |
|
---|
361 |
|
---|
362 | ## 1.0.0
|
---|
363 |
|
---|
364 | First release.
|
---|
