Is there a way to set default values?

Maybe I am missing something, but is there a way to set default values that are then overridden by the command line? Trying to set the value of any of my options informs me it a get-only s property

@dhmspector Typically you'd just catch the .value nil case and set the default; something like this:

let cli = CommandLineKit.CommandLine()
let opt = StringOption(shortFlag: "o", longFlag: "option", helpMessage: "an option")
cli.addOption(opt)

do {
  try cli.parse()
} catch {
  cli.printUsage(error)
  exit(EX_USAGE)
}

let o = opt.value ?? "default"
print("option is \(o)")

Does that work for you?

[dhmspector]

Yes, I see now. Different than I expected, but that'll work
