    We can also use tuple-like struct syntax and named-field struct syntax for enum variants within our enum; this is because unlike in other OOP languages, Rust enums are actually sum types. You can read more about how powerful Rust enums are in another article we wrote here. You can have optional arguments by simply wrapping the types in Option, but if you want to add a flag to a command you can use bool, since clap recognises that flags are either there or not there. Let's have a look at what this might look like:
  • Flow Updater JSON Creator
    8 projects | dev.to | 9 Dec 2023
    I began by developing a wrapper for the CurseForge API, which turned out to be a lengthy and challenging process but constituted the bulk of the work. Next, I coded the CLI, which was relatively straightforward. Instead of using the clap crate, a Rust tool for generating CLIs, I opted for the following line of code:
  • netcrab: a networking tool
    4 projects | dev.to | 14 Oct 2023
    By this time I had already gotten tired of parsing arguments by myself and had looked for something to help with that. I found a really dang good argument parsing library called clap. What makes it so cool is it's largely declarative for common uses. You simply mark up a struct with attributes, and the parser automatically generates the usage and all the argument parsing code.

    Is this just referring to wrapping based on the terminal width? That is supported with the wrap_help feature though I have been considering making it a default feature.

    CLI, use Clap. If you want to get fancy, use Tui.

    As our CLI is getting more complex, we'll use the clap crate to parse the command line arguments.
  • [self-made] havn - fast lightweight port scanner
    4 projects | /r/rust | 18 May 2023
    I’m not sure why I decided to create it, I think I tried to use RustScan for a simple task last week, but it was too convoluted for my needs, as well as the fact that it requires nmap to be installed. Thus havn was born, nothing else needed, and only directly using two dependencies, Tokio and Clap, although I think If I really wanted to, I could remove the Clap dependency, but it’s just so handy and easy to use.
