Dotnet CommandLine framework

An experiment of trying to abstract away wiring of dotnet/command-line-api apps to build extensible commandline applications, inspired by setup of asp.net core. All classes listed below are registered in ServiceCollection and can have dependencies injected.

Setup

 public static async Task<int> Main(string[] args)
        {
            var rootCommand = ConsoleApplicationBuilder
                .Create()
                .AddAllCommandsInEntryAssembly()
                .SetRootCommand<TestRootCommand>()
                .Startup<Startup>()
                .Build();

            return await rootCommand.InvokeAsync(args);
        }

Service configuration

public class Startup
{
    public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
    {
        services.AddSingleton<IService, Service>();
    }
}

Rootcommand

[RootCommand]
public class TestRootCommand  : ConsoleCommand
{
    [Option("--namespace", Description = "Something")]
    public string Namespace { get; set; }

    public override int Invoke()
    {
        Console.WriteLine("here I Am");

        return 0;
    }
}

Subcommand

[SubCommand("dotwo", typeof(TestRootCommand))]
class TestSubCommand2 : ConsoleCommand
{

    [Required]
    [Option("--namespace", "-n", Description = "Something", Suggester = typeof(NamespaceSuggester))]
    public string Namespace { get; set; }

    public override int Invoke()
    {
        Console.WriteLine("here I Am");

        return 0;
    }
}

Suggester

internal class NamespaceSuggester : ISuggester
{
    private IService _service;
    
    public NamespaceSuggester(IService service)
    {
        _service = service;
    }

    public IEnumerable<string> GetSuggestions(ParseResult? parseResult = null, string? textToMatch = null)
    {
        return _service.GetSuggestions();
    }
}
