Command Decorator

Ter-FX includes the @cmd decorator for creating clean command handlers.

from terfx import cmd

@cmd
def hello(parts):
    print(parts[0])
    print(parts[1])
    print(parts.rest)

hello(["hello", "world"])

Output

hello
world
['world']

The decorator automatically converts the argument list into a Part object.

Part provides:

Property	Description
parts[0]	First argument
parts[1]	Second argument
parts.count	Number of arguments
parts.rest	Remaining arguments
len(parts)	Number of arguments

Example:

@cmd
def install(parts):

    if parts.count < 2:
        log.error("No package supplied.")
        return

    package = parts[1]

    if package == "dir":
        log.success("Installing directory package...")

---

Available Colors

console.printin(
    "Blue Text",
