Quixir/CommandHandling is a module in the Quixir library for handling commands in the Elixir programming language. This module provides a robust and flexible framework for handling commands and executing corresponding actions.

Overview[edit]

The Quixir/CommandHandling module allows developers to easily define and handle commands in their Elixir applications. It provides a clean and simple interface for registering commands and associating them with specific actions.

Features[edit]

The Quixir/CommandHandling module offers the following features:

  • Command registration
  • Command dispatching
  • Command parsing and validation
  • Command execution
  • Error handling

Usage[edit]

To use the Quixir/CommandHandling module, you need to install the Quixir library and add it as a dependency to your Elixir project. Once installed, you can import the module and start registering commands.

Command Registration[edit]

To register a command, you can use the `register_command/2` function. This function takes two arguments: the command name and a callback function that will be executed when the command is invoked.

```elixir Quixir.CommandHandling.register_command("greet", &MyApp.Greeter.greet/1) ```

Command Dispatching[edit]

To dispatch a command, you can use the `dispatch_command/2` function. This function takes two arguments: the command name and the command arguments. The specified callback function associated with the command will be executed.

```elixir Quixir.CommandHandling.dispatch_command("greet", ["Alice"]) ```

Command Parsing and Validation[edit]

The Quixir/CommandHandling module supports command parsing and validation out-of-the-box. It provides functions such as `parse_command/1` and `validate_command/1` to help you parse and validate command arguments.

```elixir command = Quixir.CommandHandling.parse_command("greet Alice") Quixir.CommandHandling.validate_command(command) ```

Command Execution[edit]

Once a command is dispatched and validated, the associated callback function will be executed. This function should handle the logic and actions related to the command.

```elixir defmodule MyApp.Greeter do

 def greet(args) do
   [name] = args
   IO.puts("Hello, #{name}!")
 end

end ```

Error Handling[edit]

The Quixir/CommandHandling module provides error handling capabilities to handle various types of errors that may occur during command handling. This allows you to gracefully handle and report errors to users.
