3654 :: Warning: parseopt2 is deprecated

• sflennik (orginal) [2018-03-16T05:11:55+01:00] view original

  I upgraded from nim version 0.17 to 0.18 and I'm in the process of updating my code to remove the deprecated warnings.

  What is the replacement for parseopt2?

  I had good experience with Cligen: https://github.com/c-blake/cligen

  indeed, cligen seems the best option, allows generating help with 0 boilerplate, using CT reflection, eg:

  proc foobar(foo=1, bar=2.0, baz="hi", verb=false, paths: seq[string]) = discard
  when isMainModule: import cligen; dispatch(foobar)    # now call with: `./app --foo=2 --bar=2.7 ...`
  Run
