TTY VS Trollop

Few days ago I've created a script for the project I'm working on. It was an ugly script with hardcoded values, but it did ther job - create tokens on request. But I've decided to improve it a bit, because sometimes I needed to change params and I've added ability to submit params from the command line. Of course, there are a lot of awesome libraries such as dry-cli, TTY Toolkit or cli-kit from Shopify, but in most cases you can use standard ruby libraries like OptionParser or GetoptLong. Lets see how you can create a CLI utils with those libraries just in few minutes.

Not curses but something Ruby style: https://ttytoolkit.org/. No C dependencies, I think...

TTY-ruby is an extensive CLI toolkit that might help you do what you want. Have a look. I’ve used some of them successfully in the past.

TUI? Terminal UI? If so, check out https://ttytoolkit.org/ and https://github.com/Shopify/cli-ui

Saw just now. Cobra is huge and offers a lot. Btw, I've used this https://github.com/piotrmurach/tty for a Ruby project a while ago and was looking for something similar. I guess Cobra it is. Thanks again!

If you're interested in taking things further, maybe have a look at Build Awesome Command-Line Applications in Ruby 2. If you're not ready to buy a book, check out the Ruby TTY Toolkit page.

The tty suite of tools are a good shout, although I've never used them in anger. https://ttytoolkit.org

My favorite is probably trollop but I haven’t needed to write a cli in years. Clap is also great, but the best I’ve used is probably Click which is saying something because I absolutely hate Python. Also deploying is a completely separate problem from which library is best. Click is by far the worst to deploy, then Clap, then trollop.
