+[`Mingling`](https://github.com/catilgrass/mingling) is a **proc-macro and type system-based** Rust CLI framework, suitable for developing complex command-line programs with numerous subcommands.

-[`Mingling`](https://github.com/CatilGrass/mingling) is a **proc-macro and type system-based** Rust CLI framework, suitable for developing complex command-line programs with numerous subcommands.
+### Mingling's Core Capabilities
-> BTW: Its name comes from the Chinese Pinyin "mìng lìng", meaning "Command". 😄
+1. **Separation of Concerns, Clear Logic**: Mingling decouples logic by responsibility, helping you organize your CLI program more clearly.
+See example: [Example](https://github.com/catilgrass/mingling/blob/main/examples/example-basic/src/main.rs)
+2. **"All Logic is Functions"**: Execution logic, rendering logic, completion logic, help logic — everything is a function. Just attach the corresponding attribute macro to bind them to your program.
+3. **Fully Dynamic Completion System**: With the `comp` feature, you can flexibly implement dynamic completion logic for any subcommand.
+See examples: [Example](https://github.com/catilgrass/mingling/blob/main/examples/example-completion/src/main.rs)
+4. **Lightning-Fast Subcommand Dispatch**: With the `dispatch_tree` feature, Mingling hardens the subcommand structure into a prefix tree at **compile time**, enabling blazing-fast subcommand lookup.
+See examples: [Example](https://github.com/catilgrass/mingling/blob/main/examples/example-dispatch-tree/src/main.rs)
+5. **Lightweight Dependencies, On-Demand Importing**: Minimal core dependencies keep builds fast; enhanced features are imported on demand through fine-grained feature flags.
+6. **Structured Output**: Enabling the `general_renderer` feature adds support for flags like `--json` and `--yaml`, providing structured output capabilities.
+See examples: [Example](https://github.com/catilgrass/mingling/blob/main/examples/example-general-renderer/src/main.rs)
-## ⚡ Quick Start
+### What does Mingling look like?
-> To use a release version of `Mingling`, get the latest version from [`crates.io`](https://crates.io/crates/mingling)
->
-> To use the latest version, pull the project from the `main` branch on `github`
-
-If you have [`cargo-generate`](https://cargo-generate.github.io/cargo-generate/) installed, you can quickly generate a new project template:
-
-```bash
-cargo generate --git catilgrass/mingling-template
-```
-
-Otherwise, add `Mingling` to your `Cargo.toml`:
-
-```toml
-# From crates.io
-mingling = "0.1.9"
-
-# From GitHub
-mingling = { git = "https://github.com/catilgrass/mingling", branch = "main" }
-```
-
-The example below shows how to use `Mingling` to create a simple CLI program:
+Here is a basic project written using **Mingling**:
+- When the user types `greet`, the program outputs `Hello, World!`
+- When the user types `greet Alice`, the program outputs `Hello, Alice!`
```rust
-use mingling::macros::{dispatcher, gen_program, r_println, renderer};
-
-fn main() {
- let mut program = ThisProgram::new();
- program.with_dispatcher(HelloCommand);
-
- // Execute
- program.exec();
-}
-
-// Define command: "<bin> hello"
-dispatcher!("hello", HelloCommand => HelloEntry);
-
-// Render HelloEntry
-#[renderer]
-fn render_hello_world(_prev: HelloEntry) {
- r_println!("Hello, World!")
-}
-
-// Fallbacks
-#[renderer]
-fn fallback_dispatcher_not_found(prev: DispatcherNotFound) {
- r_println!("Dispatcher not found for command `{}`", prev.join(", "))
-}
-
-#[renderer]
-fn fallback_renderer_not_found(prev: RendererNotFound) {
- r_println!("Renderer not found `{}`", *prev)
-}
-
-// Collect renderers and chains to generate ThisProgram
-gen_program!();
-```
-
-Output:
+use mingling::prelude::*;
-```
-> mycmd hello
-Hello, World!
-> mycmd hallo
-Dispatcher not found for command `hallo`
-```
-
-Now, let's see the full usage of **Mingling**: The following example shows how to use `Mingling` to create a complete CLI program with `help`, `completion`, `fallback`, and `parser` features:
-
-```rust
-use mingling::{
- ShellContext, Suggest,
- macros::{
- chain, completion, dispatcher, gen_program, help, pack, r_println, renderer, suggest,
- },
- parser::AsPicker,
- setup::BasicProgramSetup,
-};
+dispatcher!("greet", CMDGreet => EntryGreet);
fn main() {
- // Initialize program
let mut program = ThisProgram::new();
-
- // Load plugins
- program.with_setup(BasicProgramSetup);
- program.with_dispatcher(CompletionDispatcher);
-
- // Load commands
- program.with_dispatcher(GreetCommand);
-
- // Run program
- program.exec();
+ program.with_dispatcher(CMDGreet);
+ program.exec_and_exit();
}
-// Define dispatcher `greet`
-dispatcher!("greet", GreetCommand => GreetEntry);
+pack!(ResultGreeting = String);
-// Define intermediate type `StateGreeting`
-pack!(StateGreeting = String);
-
-// Define `greet` command help
-#[help]
-fn help_greet_command(_prev: GreetEntry) {
- r_println!("Usage: greet <NAME>");
-}
-
-// Define `greet` command completion
-#[completion(GreetEntry)]
-fn comp_greet_command(ctx: &ShellContext) -> Suggest {
- if ctx.previous_word == "greet" {
- return suggest! {
- "Alice",
- "Bob",
- "Peter"
- };
- }
- return suggest!();
-}
-
-// Define chain, parsing `GreetEntry` into `StateGreeting`
#[chain]
-fn parse_name_to_greet(prev: GreetEntry) -> Next {
- let state_greeting: StateGreeting =
- prev.pick_or::<String>((), "World").unpack().into();
- state_greeting
-}
-
-// Render `StateGreeting`
-#[renderer]
-fn render_state_greeting(prev: StateGreeting) {
- r_println!("Hello, {}!", *prev);
+fn handle_greet(args: EntryGreet) -> Next {
+ let greeting = args.pick_or::<String>((), "World").unpack();
+ ResultGreeting::new(greeting)
}
-// Define fallback logic when no matching dispatcher is found
#[renderer]
-fn fallback_no_dispatcher_found(prev: DispatcherNotFound) {
- r_println!("Command \"{}\" not found.", prev.join(" "));
+fn render_greeting(greeting: ResultGreeting) {
+ r_println!("Hello, {}!", *greeting);
}
-// Generate program
gen_program!();
```
-Output:
+<h1 align="center">
+ 🚀 How to get started? 🚀
+</h1>
-```
-~> mycmd greet
- Hello, World!
-~> mycmd greet Alice
- Hello, Alice!
-~> mycmd greet --help
- Usage: greet <NAME>
-~> mycmd great
- Command "great" not found.
-```
-
-## 🧠 Core Concepts
-
-Mingling abstracts command execution into the following parts:
-
-1. **Dispatcher** - Routes user input to a specific renderer or chain based on the command node name.
-2. **Chain** - Transforms the incoming type into another type, passing it to the next chain or renderer.
-3. **Renderer** - Stops the chain and prints the currently processed type to the terminal.
-4. **Program** - Manages the lifecycle and configuration of the entire CLI application.

-## 🏗️ Project Structure
-
-The Mingling project consists of two main parts:
+There are multiple ways to import **Mingling**:
-- **[mingling/](mingling/)** - The core runtime library, containing type definitions, error handling, and basic functionality.
-- **[mingling_macros/](mingling_macros/)** - The procedural macro library, providing declarative macros to simplify development.
+1. From [crates.io](https://crates.io/crates/mingling):
+```toml
+[dependencies.mingling]
+version = "0.1.9"
+features = []
+```
