A simple wrapper for Ruby's OptionParser. The aim of this library is to be able to use the powerful OptionParser for it's most basic use, with an simpler setup. For things that are a bit more complicated than the very basic usage of options parsing for CLI tools, it's probably better to use Ruby's OptionParser.

gem 'optio'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install optio

Or, install via Rubygems;

$ gem install optio

The goal is to make the usage somehow similar to the OptionParser one;

require 'optio'

parsed = Optio::Parser.new do |parser|
  parser.switch :verbose, desc: "Verbose!", short: 'v', type: TrueClass
end.parse!

Where the types are the same ones that are specified in here.
