Overview

Thor-inspired tiny CLI builder.

Class DSL:

class MyCli < Hammer
  task :build do
    desc    'Build the project'
    example 'build -v --env=prod'
    opt :verbose, type: :boolean, alias: :v
    opt :env,     type: :string,  default: 'dev'
    proc do |opts|
      say.green "building #{opts[:env]} args=#{opts[:args].inspect}"
    end
  end
end

MyCli.start(ARGV)

Block DSL is identical, just inside ‘Hammer.run`:

Hammer.run(ARGV) do
  task :hello do
    desc 'Greet someone'
    opt :loud, type: :boolean, alias: :l
    proc do |opts|
      msg = "hello #{opts[:args].first || 'world'}"
      msg = msg.upcase if opts[:loud]
      say msg, :cyan
    end
  end
end

# File 'lib/lux-hammer.rb', line 81

def alt(*names)      ; @pending_alts.concat(names) end

.ancestor_chainObject

Root -> … -> self. Used to gather ‘before` hooks for a command.

def ancestor_chain
  chain = []
  klass = self
  while klass
    chain.unshift klass
    klass = klass.parent
  end
  chain
end

.app_desc(text = nil) ⇒ Object

Top-level description for the whole CLI. Set from a Hammerfile (block DSL) via ‘desc ’text’‘ at top level - see `Hammer::Builder#desc`. Rendered under the Usage line in `–help` output.

# File 'lib/lux-hammer.rb', line 118

def app_desc(text = nil)
  return @app_desc if text.nil?
  @app_desc = text.to_s.rstrip
end

.before(&block) ⇒ Object

Register a hook to run before every command in this class (root or namespace). Hooks receive the command’s ‘opts` hash. All hooks run outer -> inner, once per top-level `start` (prereqs don’t re-trigger).

before { |opts| Dotenv.load }
namespace :db do
  before { hammer :env }
  task :migrate do ... end
end


215
216
217
# File 'lib/lux-hammer.rb', line 215

def before(&block)
  before_hooks << block
end

.before_hooksObject



219
220
221
# File 'lib/lux-hammer.rb', line 219

def before_hooks
  @before_hooks
end

.builtins_triggered?(argv) ⇒ Boolean

True if argv references the ‘self:` namespace or asks for help - any of which means the user wants to see / invoke the built-ins. Bare `hammer` (empty argv) does NOT trigger - the no-args listing stays a clean project-command view without `self:` or `Recipes:`. Cheap scan, runs once per invocation.

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

  argv.any? do |a|
    a == '--help' || a == '-h' || a == 'help' ||
      a == 'self' || a.start_with?('self:')
  end
end

.cli(argv = ARGV) ⇒ Object

Entry point for the ‘hammer` binary. Walks up from CWD until it finds a Hammerfile, evaluates it as the block DSL, then dispatches ARGV against the resulting CLI.

The ‘self:` namespace (recipe management, AGENTS.md dump, self- update) is registered on-demand when the user invokes help or types a `self:` path - see `builtins_triggered?`.

.desc(text) ⇒ Object

—– class-level DSL for ‘def`-style commands ——————— Set pending metadata that the next `def` will consume.

class MyCli < Hammer
  desc 'Build'
  opt :env, default: 'dev'
  def build(opts)
    say "building #{opts[:env]}"
  end
end

.dotenv(flag = true) ⇒ Object

Toggle auto-loading of ‘.env` / `.env.local` for the `hammer` binary. Default is ON. Call `dotenv false` at the top of a Hammerfile to suppress. No-op for standalone `MyCli.start` - auto-load only fires from `Hammer.cli`.

.find_command(name) ⇒ Object

Find a command by canonical name or alt within this class. Falls back to fuzzy match (prefix first, then substring) when no exact hit. Raises AmbiguousMatch if the fuzzy pass matches more than one.

  pair&.last
end

.find_namespace_sibling(canonical) ⇒ Object

Returns the command at the parent that shares its name with this namespace. E.g. for path “gem:version” returns the ‘version` command in the `gem` namespace (if defined), so `gem:version:` listings can include `gem:version` itself at the top.

  end
  parent.commands[parts.last]
end

.fuzzy_pick(name, items, kind, &keys_for) ⇒ Object

Shared fuzzy matcher used by find_command and find_namespace. The block returns the strings to match against for each item (canonical name plus alts for commands, just the key for namespaces). Tries prefix match first, then substring; raises AmbiguousMatch when either pass hits more than one item.

      raise AmbiguousMatch, "multiple #{kind}s match '#{name}': #{labels.join(', ')}"
    end
    return matches.first
  end
  nil
end

.hammer(name, *args, **opts) ⇒ Object

Programmatic dispatch by name. Useful for scripting and tests.

MyCli.hammer :build                       -> start(["build"])
MyCli.hammer 'db:users:list'              -> start(["db:users:list"])
MyCli.hammer :eval, 'puts 42'             -> start(["eval", "puts 42"])
MyCli.hammer :build, env: 'prod'          -> start(["build", "--env=prod"])
MyCli.hammer :build, verbose: true        -> start(["build", "--verbose"])
MyCli.hammer :build, no_cache: true       -> start(["build", "--no-cache"])
MyCli.hammer :build, cache: false         -> skipped (no-op)

Symbols are single-segment names; pass a string with colons for namespaced paths. Trailing positionals become positional ARGV. Underscores in option keys become dashes in flags.

.load(*paths, **kwargs) ⇒ Object

Load Hammerfile fragments and register their commands on this class. Rake-style: split a CLI across multiple files.

load                        # auto-discover *_hammer.rb under caller dir
load auto: true             # same
load 'tasks/db_hammer.rb'   # one file
load 'tasks/*_hammer.rb'    # glob

Paths resolve relative to the file calling ‘load`. See `Hammer::Loader` for the full implementation.

Per-target Loader instance. Owns the dedup cache, so re-entrant ‘load` from inside a fragment is safe and idempotent.

.namespace(name, &block) ⇒ Object

Open a namespace (group of commands). Everything inside the block (task, nested namespace, …) belongs to that namespace, evaluated against an anonymous Hammer subclass.

namespace :db do
  task :migrate do ... end
  namespace :users do ... end
end

‘:self` is reserved for the `hammer` binary’s built-ins (see Hammer::Builtins). User code that tries to open it raises.

‘extended: true` is the verbose `help` / `-h` / `–help` form - appends global flags, the GitHub footer, and (for the hammer binary) a Hammerfile example. Bare invocation passes `extended: false` so the no-args output stays a clean command listing.

‘extended:` is accepted for parity with `print_help` but intentionally not used here - the global-flags / Hammerfile-example / footer block is root-help-only. A namespace listing is just the commands under that prefix; tool-meta noise (self:, Recipes:, –update alias) is reserved for `hammer –help` at the top level.

.recipe(name, argv = ARGV) ⇒ Object

Entry point for recipe stubs in PATH. A recipe is a standalone Hammerfile-style script bundled with the gem (or in ~/.config/hammer/recipes/) that is exposed as its own bin via a tiny Ruby wrapper containing:

require 'lux-hammer'
Hammer.recipe(:srt, ARGV)

The recipe runs as a self-contained CLI: program_name is the recipe name, only its own tasks show in –help, no global hammer commands appear. Runs in the caller’s cwd (no chdir, no Hammerfile lookup).

Walk “ns1:ns2:cmd” -> [command, owning_class, canonical_path]. Returns [nil, nil, nil] if any segment is missing or the final segment isn’t a command. canonical_path uses the canonical name of every segment (so a fuzzy ‘b` resolves to `build` in the path).

‘db’ for ‘db:migrate’ or ‘db:users:list’ viewed from root; ‘users’ for ‘db:users:list’ viewed from ‘db’; :root if the command sits at the view’s top level. Only the first segment under the view groups, so deeper paths fold into their top-level section.

Exception: a bare command that shares its name with a sibling namespace (e.g. ‘mount` alongside a `mount:` namespace) groups under that namespace’s section, not :root.

.start(argv = ARGV) ⇒ Object

Entry point. Parses ARGV, finds the right command, runs it. Command names are Rake-style colon paths: “build”, “db:migrate”, “db:users:list”.

Rake-style chained dispatch: ‘hammer build + deploy + notify`. A bare `+` argv token separates commands; `++` escapes to a literal `+` positional. Quoted shell args (`–foo=“a + b”`) arrive as a single token and are not split.

.with_target(klass) ⇒ Object

Push ‘klass` as the current Hammer target for the duration of the block. Top-level DSL methods (`task`, `namespace`, `before` - see `Hammer::DSL`) read this thread-local, so files `require`d from inside a Hammerfile register against the right target.

Instance Method Details

#hammer(name, *args, **opts) ⇒ Object

Inside a command’s ‘proc do |opts| … end`, call sibling commands:

task :deploy do
  proc do |opts|
    hammer :build
    hammer 'db:migrate', pretend: true
  end
end

Dispatches from the root class so colon paths resolve against the full tree even when called from inside a namespaced command.
