A project that makes it easier to add command line arguments to applications.

1. Install the NuGet package. It adds the SimpleArgs dll and an ArgsHandler.cs file.

   install-package Rhyous.SimpleArgs
   // Or if you don't want a separate dll, install this:
   install-package Rhyous.SimpleArgs.Sources
   

2. Add your new Arguments to the InitializeArguments override of the ArgsHandler.cs file.

   public override void InitializeArguments()
   {
       Arguments.AddRange(new List<Argument>
       {
           new Argument
           {
               Name = "Echo",
               ShortName = "E",
               Description = "I echo to the console whater you put after Echo=",
               Example = "Echo=\"Hello, World!\"",
               Action = (value) => { Console.WriteLine(value);}
           },
           // Add more args here
       });
   }
   

3. In Program.cs add this line of code to Main()

   static void Main(string[] args)
   {
       new ArgsManager<ArgsHandler>().Start(args);
   }
   

4. In the ArgsHandler.cs file, your new take action point is in the HandleArgs() method.

   public void HandleArgs(IReadArgs inArgsHandler)
   {
       base.HandleArgs(inArgsHandler);
       Console.WriteLine("I handled the args!!!");
       // This is where you start your work now
   }
   

5. If you run with no args, you will be given usage.

   Usage:
     SimpleArgs.Example.exe Echo="Hello, World!"
     
   Arguments:
     Echo   (Optional) I echo to the console whater you put after Echo=
   
   Press any key to continue . . .
   

6. Access your arguments statically anywhere using static class Args.

   Args.Value("Echo") // returns value
   Args.Get("Echo") // Returns Argument object
