Examples

Sample behavior of these examples is available in the top-level README.md file

name_example.dart

A command-line utility demoing the capabilities of package:best_effort_parser/name.dart.

import 'package:best_effort_parser/name.dart';

/// Bare-bones example of using [NameParser] as a command-line program. All arguments are
/// concatenated with spaces and then run through the parser with default settings.
///
/// Example usage:
/// ```text
/// λ  dart name_example.dart 'Jack Warren'
/// [Given]: Jack [Family]: Warren
/// ```
void main(List<String> arguments) =>
    print(NameParser.basic().parse(arguments.join(' ')).diagnosticString());

Provided dart is on your path, the script may be run from the example/ directory with dart name_exaple.dart followed by strings of your choice.

date_example.dart

A command-line utility demoing the capabilities of package:best_effort_parser/date.dart.

import 'package:best_effort_parser/date.dart';

/// Bare-bones example of using [DateParser] as a command-line program. All arguments are
/// concatenated with spaces and then run through the parser with default settings.
///
/// Example usage:
/// ```text
/// λ  dart date_example.dart 'January 1st, 2019'
/// [Day]: 1 [Month]: 1 [Year]: 2019
/// ```
void main(List<String> arguments) =>
    DateParser.basic().parse(arguments.join(' ')).forEach(print);

Provided dart is on your path, the script may be run from the example/ directory with dart date_example.dart followed by strings of your choice.
