RHDevelopment Arg Parser
========================

[](#rhdevelopment-arg-parser)

Small, easy-to-use CLI argument parsing helpers for PHP scripts and cron tools.

Usage sketch:

```
use RHDevelopment\ArgParser\ArgParser;

ArgParser::option('name')->required()->asInt();
ArgParser::option('verbose');

$values = ArgParser::parse();
// $values is an associative array of parsed options
```

Interactive prompting helper

This package provides a small `prompt()` helper for interactive scripts. It reads from STDIN and returns the trimmed input. If you provide a default value and the user submits an empty line the default will be returned.

Example (see `bin/example.php`):

```
use RHDevelopment\ArgParser\ArgParser;

ArgParser::option('name')->asString();
ArgParser::option('count')->asInt()->default(1);
ArgParser::option('verbose');

$values = ArgParser::parse();
if (empty($values['name'])) {
    $values['name'] = ArgParser::prompt('Enter your name', 'guest');
}
```

Run the provided example script (make it executable first):

```
chmod +x bin/example.php
./bin/example.php --verbose --count=3
```

Run tests:

```
composer install
composer test
```
