How to make two thor tasks share options?

Question

With Thor one can use method_option to set the options for a particular task. To set the options for all tasks in a class one can use class_option. But what about t

Answer 1

I would just use a superclass like this:

require 'thor'

class CliBase < Thor
  def self.shared_options

    method_option :verbose,
                  :aliases => '-v',
                  :type => :boolean,
                  :desc => 'Verbose',
                  :default => false,
                  :required => false

  end
end

... then subclass as follows:

require 'cli_base'

class Cli < CliBase
  desc 'task1', 'Task 1'
  shared_options
  def task1
  end

  desc 'task2', 'Task 2'
  shared_options
  method_option :value, :type => :numeric
  def task2
  end

  desc 'task3', 'Task 3'
  method_option :colors, :type => :boolean, :aliases => '-c'
  def task3
  end
end

Cli.start(ARGV)
