Functions

func Callback deprecated added in v0.0.8 

func Callback(fl *flag.FlagSet, name, value, usage string, cb func(string) error)

Callback is a convenience function for defining a Set(string) error function on a flag.FlagSet without constructing a new type.

If nil, fl defaults to flag.CommandLine. Value is only used for showing the default in usage help.

Deprecated: Use flag.Func in Go 1.16+.

Example (BadFlag) 
package main

import (
	"flag"
	"fmt"
	"io"
	"strings"

	"github.com/carlmjohnson/flagext"
)

func main() {
	fs := flag.NewFlagSet("ExampleCallback", flag.ContinueOnError)
	fs.SetOutput(io.Discard)
	const usage = `...`
	var mode string
	flagext.Callback(fs, "mode", mode, usage, func(s string) error {
		if s != strings.ToLower(s) {
			return fmt.Errorf("mode must be lower case")
		}
		mode = s
		return nil
	})

	err := fs.Parse([]string{"-mode", "X"})
	fmt.Println(mode, err)
}

Output:

invalid value "X" for flag -mode: mode must be lower case
Example (DefaultValue) 
package main

import (
	"flag"
	"fmt"
	"strings"

	"github.com/carlmjohnson/flagext"
)

func main() {
	fs := flag.NewFlagSet("ExampleCallback", flag.PanicOnError)

	mode := "none"
	flagext.Callback(fs, "mode", mode, "what mode to use", func(s string) error {
		if s != strings.ToLower(s) {
			return fmt.Errorf("mode must be lower case")
		}
		mode = s
		return nil
	})

	fs.Parse([]string{})
	fmt.Println(mode)
}

Output:

none
Example (GoodFlag) 
package main

import (
	"flag"
	"fmt"
	"strings"

	"github.com/carlmjohnson/flagext"
)

func main() {
	fs := flag.NewFlagSet("ExampleCallback", flag.PanicOnError)
	const usage = `...`
	var mode string
	flagext.Callback(fs, "mode", mode, usage, func(s string) error {
		if s != strings.ToLower(s) {
			return fmt.Errorf("mode must be lower case")
		}
		mode = s
		return nil
	})

	fs.Parse([]string{"-mode", "x"})
	fmt.Println(mode)
}

Output:

x

func Choice 

func Choice(selection *string, choices ...string) flag.Value

Choice implements flag.Value. Pass directly into flag.Var. flag.Var sets selection to the value of a command line flag if it is among the choices. If the flag value is not among the choices, it returns an error.

Example (BadFlag) 
package main

import (
	"flag"
	"fmt"
	"io"

	"github.com/carlmjohnson/flagext"
)

func main() {
	fs := flag.NewFlagSet("ExampleChoice", flag.ContinueOnError)
	fs.SetOutput(io.Discard)
	var mode string
	fs.Var(flagext.Choice(&mode, "a", "b"), "mode", "mode to run")

	err := fs.Parse([]string{"-mode", "c"})
	fmt.Println(err)
}

Output:

invalid value "c" for flag -mode: "c" not in a, b
Example (DefaultValue) 
package main

import (
	"flag"
	"fmt"

	"github.com/carlmjohnson/flagext"
)

func main() {
	fs := flag.NewFlagSet("ExampleChoice", flag.ContinueOnError)
	mode := "none"
	fs.Var(flagext.Choice(&mode, "yes", "no"), "mode", "mode to run")
	fs.Parse([]string{})
	fmt.Println(mode)
}

Output:

none
Example (GoodFlag) 
package main

import (
	"flag"
	"fmt"

	"github.com/carlmjohnson/flagext"
)

func main() {
	fs := flag.NewFlagSet("ExampleChoice", flag.ContinueOnError)
	var mode string
	fs.Var(flagext.Choice(&mode, "x", "y"), "mode", "mode to run")

	fs.Parse([]string{"-mode", "x"})
	fmt.Println(mode)
}

Output:

x

func ChoiceVar added in v0.0.11 

func ChoiceVar(fl *flag.FlagSet, name, value, usage string, choices ...string) *string

ChoiceVar is a convenience wrapper for Choice. If nil, fl defaults to flag.CommandLine.

func Logger added in v0.0.5 

func Logger(l *log.Logger, mode logMode) flag.Value

Logger sets output for a *log.Logger to os.Stderr or io.Discard via the returned flag.Value. Uses log.Default() if l is nil.

Example 
package main

import (
	"flag"
	"log"
	"os"

	"github.com/carlmjohnson/flagext"
)

func main() {
	// Redirect Stderr for test
	{
		stderr := os.Stderr
		os.Stderr = os.Stdout
		defer func() {
			os.Stderr = stderr
		}()
	}
	{
		fs := flag.NewFlagSet("ExampleLogger", flag.PanicOnError)
		l := log.New(nil, "myapp ", 00)
		fs.Var(
			flagext.Logger(l, flagext.LogVerbose),
			"verbose",
			`log output`,
		)
		fs.Parse([]string{"-verbose"})

		l.Print("hello log 1")
	}
	{
		fs := flag.NewFlagSet("ExampleLogger", flag.PanicOnError)
		l := log.New(nil, "myapp ", 00)
		fs.Var(
			flagext.Logger(l, flagext.LogSilent),
			"silent",
			`don't log output`,
		)
		fs.Parse([]string{})

		l.Print("hello log 2")
	}
	{
		fs := flag.NewFlagSet("ExampleLogger", flag.PanicOnError)
		l := log.New(nil, "myapp ", 00)
		fs.Var(
			flagext.Logger(l, flagext.LogVerbose),
			"verbose",
			`log output`,
		)
		fs.Parse([]string{"-verbose=false"})

		l.Print("silenced!")
	}
	{
		fs := flag.NewFlagSet("ExampleLogger", flag.PanicOnError)
		l := log.New(nil, "myapp ", 00)
		fs.Var(
			flagext.Logger(l, flagext.LogSilent),
			"silent",
			`don't log output`,
		)
		fs.Parse([]string{"-silent=1"})

		l.Print("silenced!")
	}
}

Output:

myapp hello log 1
myapp hello log 2

func LoggerVar added in v0.0.11 

func LoggerVar(fl *flag.FlagSet, l *log.Logger, name string, mode logMode, usage string)

LoggerVar is a convenience wrapper for Logger. If nil, fl defaults to flag.CommandLine.

func MustHave added in v0.0.9 

func MustHave(fl *flag.FlagSet, names ...string) error

MustHave is a convenience function that checks that the named flags were set on fl. Missing flags are treated with the policy of fl.ErrorHandling(): ExitOnError, ContinueOnError, or PanicOnError. Returned errors will have type MissingFlagsError.

If nil, fl defaults to flag.CommandLine.

Example (MissingFlag) 
package main

import (
	"flag"
	"fmt"
	"strings"

	"github.com/carlmjohnson/flagext"
)

func main() {
	var buf strings.Builder
	defer func() {
		recover()
		fmt.Println(buf.String())
	}()

	fs := flag.NewFlagSet("ExampleMustHave", flag.PanicOnError)
	fs.SetOutput(&buf)
	fs.String("a", "", "this value must be set")
	fs.String("b", "", "this value must be set")
	fs.String("c", "", "this value is optional")
	fs.Parse([]string{"-a", "set"})
	flagext.MustHave(fs, "a", "b")
}

Output:

missing required flag: b
Usage of ExampleMustHave:
  -a string
    	this value must be set
  -b string
    	this value must be set
  -c string
    	this value is optional
Example (NoMissingFlag) 
package main

import (
	"flag"

	"github.com/carlmjohnson/flagext"
)

func main() {
	fs := flag.NewFlagSet("ExampleMustHave", flag.PanicOnError)
	fs.String("a", "", "this value must be set")
	fs.String("b", "", "this value must be set")
	fs.String("c", "", "this value is optional")
	fs.Parse([]string{"-a", "set", "-b", "set"})
	flagext.MustHave(fs, "a", "b")
}

func MustHaveArgs added in v0.0.10 

func MustHaveArgs(fl *flag.FlagSet, min, max int) error

MustHaveArgs is a convenience function that checks that fl.NArg() is within the bounds min and max (inclusive). Use max -1 to indicate no maximum value. MustHaveArgs uses the policy of fl.ErrorHandling(): ExitOnError, ContinueOnError, or PanicOnError.

If nil, fl defaults to flag.CommandLine.

Example (CorrectNumber) 
package main

import (
	"flag"

	"github.com/carlmjohnson/flagext"
)

func main() {
	fs := flag.NewFlagSet("ExampleMustHave", flag.PanicOnError)
	fs.String("a", "", "an option")
	fs.Parse([]string{"--", "-a", "-b", "-c"})
	flagext.MustHaveArgs(fs, 3, 3)
}
Example (WrongNumber) 
package main

import (
	"flag"
	"fmt"
	"strings"

	"github.com/carlmjohnson/flagext"
)

func main() {
	var buf strings.Builder
	defer func() {
		recover()
		fmt.Println(buf.String())
	}()

	fs := flag.NewFlagSet("ExampleMustHaveArgs", flag.PanicOnError)
	fs.SetOutput(&buf)
	fs.Usage = func() {
		fmt.Fprintf(fs.Output(), "Usage:\n\tExampleMustHaveArgs [optional arg]")
	}

	fs.Parse([]string{"--", "one", "two"})
	flagext.MustHaveArgs(fs, 0, 1)
}

Output:

must have between 0 and 1 args; got 2
Usage:
	ExampleMustHaveArgs [optional arg]

func ParseEnv added in v0.20.1 

func ParseEnv(fl *flag.FlagSet, prefix string) error

ParseEnv lists any unset flags, checks whether a corresponding environment variable exists, and if so calls Set with its value. Flag names are prefixed and converted to SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE when looking up environment variables.

Example 
package main

import (
	"flag"
	"fmt"
	"os"

	"github.com/carlmjohnson/flagext"
)

func main() {
	fs := flag.NewFlagSet("ExampleParseEnv", flag.PanicOnError)
	a := fs.Int("a", 0, "")
	b := fs.Int("b", 0, "")
	fs.Parse([]string{"-a", "1"})

	os.Setenv("TEST_ENV_A", "2")
	os.Setenv("TEST_ENV_B", "3")
	flagext.ParseEnv(fs, "test-env")

	// Does not override existing values
	fmt.Println("a", *a)
	// Does get new values from env
	fmt.Println("b", *b)
}

Output:

a 1
b 3

func StringsVar added in v0.0.7 

func StringsVar(fl *flag.FlagSet, ss *[]string, name, usage string)
