Can a verb have a child verb?

See original GitHub issue

Issue by sgrassie Friday Jul 17, 2015 at 10:56 GMT _Originally opened as https://github.com/gsscoder/commandline/issues/201_

I’d like to allow the following scenarios:

$ app verb -t
$ app verb childverb -u
$ app verb otherchildverb -z

Where -u and -z are both specific to the respective child verbs. Is the documentation in the wiki for this still valid, or has it changed in 2.0+?

Crazy idea, what if the verb name contained a space? Would that be able to fake a hierarchy?

Hi @sgrassie, thank you again for being there.

Starting from easy things… 2.0+ documentation is condensed in this part of the wiki.

Command Line never supported nested verb (nor previous stable), but it’s a very interesting.

We can introduce a property to set the parent verb:

[Verb("verb1")]
class VerbOptions1 { }

[Verb("verbchild1", Parent="verb1")]
class VerbChildOptions1 { }

Than all options classes will be normally passed to ParseArguments<T1 ... Tn> with properly modified InstanceChooser.Choose call.
