Field Summary

Fields

Modifier and Type	Fields and Description
static int	ARITY_USE_HEURISTICS Marker value to indicate that heuristics should be used to derive arity.
static String	NONE Used to indicate that there is no default value (i.e. parameter is mandatory).
static String	NULL Used to indicate that the default value is the value null, which is different from the fact that there is no default value.

Optional Element Summary

Optional Elements

String	defaultValue The textual (pre-conversion) value to assign to this parameter if no value is provided by the user.
String	help Return a short description of the parameter.
boolean	optOut Used to indicate to the framework that the given parameter should NOT be resolved by StandardParameterResolver.
String[]	value The key(s) by which this parameter can be referenced when using named parameters.

Field Detail

NULL

public static final String NULL

Used to indicate that the default value is the value null, which is different from the fact that there is no default value.

NONE

public static final String NONE

Used to indicate that there is no default value (i.e. parameter is mandatory).

ARITY_USE_HEURISTICS

public static final int ARITY_USE_HEURISTICS

Marker value to indicate that heuristics should be used to derive arity.

Element Detail

value

public abstract String[] value

The key(s) by which this parameter can be referenced when using named parameters. If none is specified, the actual method parameter name will be used, prefixed by the method ShellMethod.prefix().

Returns:

explicit key(s) to use to pass a value for this parameter

Default:

{}

arity

public abstract int arity

Return the number of input "words" this parameter consumes. Default is 1, except when parameter type is boolean, in which case it is 0.

Returns:

the number of words to map to this parameter

Default:

-1

defaultValue

public abstract String defaultValue

The textual (pre-conversion) value to assign to this parameter if no value is provided by the user.

Returns:

the default value for this parameter

Default:

"__NONE__"

help

public abstract String help

Return a short description of the parameter.

Returns:

description of the parameter

Default:

""

valueProvider

public abstract Class<? extends ValueProvider> valueProvider

Default:

org.springframework.shell.standard.ShellOption.NoValueProvider.class

optOut

public abstract boolean optOut

Used to indicate to the framework that the given parameter should NOT be resolved by StandardParameterResolver. This is useful if several implementations of org.springframework.shell.ParameterResolver are present, given that the standard one can work with no annotation at all. Note that this is not used anymore!

Returns:

true to indicate that the StandardParameterResolver should not be used for this parameter

Default:

false
