commander

Commander provides two classes Command and CommandArgument for a declarative way to define chat commands and their arguments for input validation and error feedback for the user. Features include:

• Type and length validation for chat command arguments.
• Strict choices.
• Custom validation and error messages.
• Usage and error texts for user feedback.

Example Usage

Taken from test case, realistic example.
