### Typed options and arguments

The described `Option` and `Argument` classes are untyped, meaning that the only get String values. `TypedOption` and `TypedArgument` let you specify a type, so the (String) raw value is converted to the specified type.

Instead of `Option` and `Argument`, use `TypedOption` and `TypedArgument` in the `CLI` definition:

    CLI cli = CLI.create("copy")
        .setSummary("A command line interface to copy files.")
        .addOption(new TypedOption<Boolean>()
            .setType(Boolean.class)
            .setLongName("directory")
            .setShortName("R")
            .setDescription("enables directory support")
            .setFlag(true))
        .addArgument(new TypedArgument<File>()
            .setType(File.class)
            .setIndex(0)
            .setDescription("The source")
            .setArgName("source"))
        .addArgument(new TypedArgument<File>()
            .setType(File.class)
            .setIndex(0)
            .setDescription("The destination")
            .setArgName("target"));

Then you can retrieve the converted values as follows:

    CommandLine commandLine = cli.parse(userCommandLineArguments);
    boolean flag = commandLine.getOptionValue("R");
    File source = commandLine.getArgumentValue("source");
    File target = commandLine.getArgumentValue("target");

The vert.x CLI is able to convert to classes:

- having a constructor with a single `String` argument, such as `File` or `JsonObject`

- with a static `from` or `fromString` method

- with a static `valueOf` method, such as primitive types and enumeration

In addition, you can implement your own `Converter` and instruct the CLI to use this converter:

    CLI cli = CLI.create("some-name")
        .addOption(new TypedOption<Person>()
            .setType(Person.class)
            .setConverter(new PersonConverter())
            .setLongName("person"));

For booleans, the boolean values are evaluated to `true`: `on`, `yes`, `1`, `true`.

If one of your option has an `enum` as type, it computes the set of choices automatically.

### Using annotations

You can also define your CLI using annotations. Definition is done using annotation on the class and on setter methods:

    &#64;Name("some-name")
    &#64;Summary("some short summary.")
    &#64;Description("some long description")
    public class AnnotatedCli {

     private boolean flag;
     private String name;
     private String arg;

    &#64;Option(shortName = "f", flag = true)
    public void setFlag(boolean flag) {
      this.flag = flag;
    }

    &#64;Option(longName = "name")
    public void setName(String name) {
      this.name = name;
    }

    &#64;Argument(index = 0)
    public void setArg(String arg) {
     this.arg = arg;
    }
    }

Once annotated, you can define the `CLI` and inject the values using:

    CLI cli = CLI.create(AnnotatedCli.class);
    CommandLine commandLine = cli.parse(userCommandLineArguments);
    AnnotatedCli instance = new AnnotatedCli();
    CLIConfigurator.inject(commandLine, instance);
