Subcommands

In a Toolchain, you can have as many nested subcommands as you want. Let's take the example from earlier and add a subcommand to it:

toolchain.cli

my-toolchain {
  action "echo 'Hello'"

  sub child-toolchain {   // <- Child name
    action "echo Child" // <- Child action
  }
}

After reinstalling the script, we can do the following:

Console

$ my-toolchain
Hello
$ my-toolchain child-toolchain
Child

Aliases

Sometimes you want one than more name for your subcommand. For example, the user may want to execute install with a shorthand (like npm supports i for install, eg npm i climat)

To achieve that, you can use the sub modifiers @aliases and @alias:

toolchain.cli

my-toolchain {

    @aliases(ct child) // Defines one or more aliases
    @alias(cld)          // Defines one alias
    sub child-toolchain {
        action "echo Child"
    }

}

After reinstalling the script, we can do the following:

Console

$ my-toolchain child-toolchain
Child
$ my-toolchain child
Child
$ my-toolchain ct
Child
$ my-toolchain cld
Child
