CommandRouter

A simple tool help you convert textual command to method call for Java/Android.

Quick start

if you want to parse a textual command like this:

"cmd://trial/show?msg=helloworld&repeat=3

in order to execute the follow code:

for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
   System.out.println("helloworld")
}

You don't need to write any code to parse text and do the conditional. Use annotations of CommandRouter to define a handler:

@HandlerAlias("trial")
public class TestHandler extends CommandHandler {

    @CommandAlias("show")
    public void showText(Object context,
                         @ParamAlias("msg") String text,
                         @ParamAlias("repeat") int repeatTimes) {
        for (int i = 0; i < repeatTimes; i++) {
            System.out.println("helloworld")
        }
    }
}

and just 'execute' the command by CommandRouter:

router.executeCommand(this, "cmd://trial/show?msg=helloworld&repeat=3");

Enjoy the clean code!

Usage

STEP 1: create CommandHandler and command methods

Create subclass of CommandHandler. A Command Handler is a group of command method. Each command method is invoke by one command.

Use these three important annotations to decorate your class:

HandlerAlias：define a handler's name.
CommandAlias: define a command's name. A command method can has mutli alias name.
ParamAlias: define a param of the command. There is 2 optional field:
defaultRaw: the textual value before unmashell.
converter: the converter class to handler this type of param.

@HandlerAlias("trial")
public class TestHandler extends CommandHandler {

    @CommandAlias("show")
    public void showText(Object context,
                         @ParamAlias("msg") String text,
                         @ParamAlias(value="repeat", defaultRaw="5") int repeatTimes) {
        // some code ...
    }
}

Notice: the first param of a command method must be the context Object. It is not one of the command params.

STEP 2: build instance of CommandRouter

Before build the CommandRouter, you should determine the command format and chose the right CommandDriver. The follow command format is build-in supported:

driver class	format	command sample
UriDriver	Hierarchical URI	`cmd://trial/show?msg=helloworld` (use host part as handler name and path part as command name)
JsonDriver*	Json	`{handler:"trial", command:"show",param:{msg:"hello"}}`
CommandLineDriver*	shell-style	`trial show --msg helloworld`

Recommend to use CommandRouterBuilder to build router instance:

CommandRouter router = new CommandRouterBuilder()
                .setDriver(new UriDriver())
                .addCommandHandler(TestHandler.class)
                .addGeneralValueConverters()
                .build();

STEP 3: execute the command

Execute the textual command by CommandRouter where you need it. Your context object will pass to the command method.

router.executeCommand(context, "cmd://trial/show?msg=helloworld&repeat=3");

Using in android

Ensure that this line is added to your proguard config:

-keepattributes *Annotation*
