Aloe.Utils.CommandLine

A lightweight utility for flexible preprocessing of command-line arguments. It supports boolean option completion and concatenated short options with values, making your application's configuration more concise and robust when used with .NET's IConfigurationBuilder.AddCommandLine(...).

Key Features

  • Completes standalone options like --flag to true
  • Splits concatenated options like -uadmin to -u admin
  • Zero-dependency lightweight utility
  • Perfect for integration with DI / IConfiguration / appsettings.json

Requirements

  • .NET 9 or later
  • Compatible with Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration

Installation

dotnet add package Aloe.Utils.CommandLine

Usage Example

using Aloe.Utils.CommandLine;

var processedArgs = ArgsHelper.PreprocessArgs(
    args,
    flagArgs: new[] { "--debug", "--standalone" },
    shortArgs: new[] { "-u", "-p" }
);

Input example:

myapp.exe -uadmin --debug

Output result:

new[] { "-u", "admin", "--debug", "true" }
