Usage Example

Here's how to create a console application using Devlead.Console, which comes with sensible defaults to streamline your setup. Additionally, you can utilize optional partial methods to tailor the project to your specific needs:

public partial class Program { // Configure in-memory settings (useful for development/testing) static partial void ConfigureInMemory(IDictionary<string, string?> configData) { configData.Add("TestService__Version", "1.0.0.0"); } // Register your services static partial void AddServices(IServiceCollection services) { services .AddOptions<TestServiceSettings>() .BindConfiguration(nameof(TestService)); services.AddSingleton<TestService>(); } // Configure commands static partial void ConfigureApp(AppServiceConfig appServiceConfig) { // Example: Add a root level command appServiceConfig .AddCommand<TestCommand>("test") .WithDescription("Example test command.") .WithExample(["test"]); // Example: Add nested commands using branches appServiceConfig .AddBranch( "yolo", c => c.AddCommand<TestCommand>("test") .WithDescription("Example test command.") .WithExample(["yolo", "test"]) ); // Example: Set application name appServiceConfig.SetApplicationName("myapp"); } }
