Dynamic collection of command names

[MadBomber]

Describe the problem

I have a nested architecture where there is a common set of parameters that are shared with multiple commands. In my usage statement I want to see something like this:
Usage: app [one|two] [options]

class Common
  include TTY::Option
  # ... common params for all commands
end

class One < Common
  # ... parameters unique for one
end

class Two < common
  # ... parameters unique to two
end

How would the new feature work?

app --help
Returns a usage report for only the common parameters and gives the command name and command description that are available.

app one --help
Gives a usage report showing the common parameters and the unique parameters for command one.

Drawbacks

Could get lost in ObjectSpace ...

I tried using a class variable at the base class level; but, command is executed at elaboration time. This does not allow for the dynamic assignment of content.

Bottom line: as is, I can statically assign command "[one|two]" in the base class; but, when I add or remove command classes I have to remember to change that static text. I'd rather the computer do it for me like this:

command '[' +
  ObjectSpace
    .each_object(Class)
    .select { |klass| klass < App::Command }
    .map{|k| k.name.downcase.split('::').last}
    .join('|') +
  ']'

DSL by its nature is executed at elaboration. What I'm wanting has to be done AFTER elaboration. That means that the DSL needs to be lazy.

I am still trying.

Hi Dewayne 👋

Thanks for taking an interest in tty-option and providing your thoughts on handling multiple commands.

However, this issue is not related to this repository, so I'll close it here.
