Simple, useful and opinionated CLI package in Go. For config loader see aconfig

Rationale

Popular CLI libraries (or better frameworks) have too large and unclear API, in most cases, you just want to define commands for your CLI application and run them without additional work. This package does this by providing a small API, good defaults and clear code.

Features

  • Simple API.
  • Dependency-free.
  • Clean and tested code.
  • Command aliases.
  • Auto suggesting command.
  • Builtin help and version commands.

Install

Go version 1.17+

go get github.com/cristalhq/acmd

Example

cmds := []acmd.Command{
	{
		Name:        "now",
		Description: "prints current time",
		ExecFunc: func(ctx context.Context, args []string) error {
			fmt.Printf("now: %s\n", now.Format("15:04:05"))
			return nil
		},
	},
	{
		Name:        "status",
		Description: "prints status of the system",
		ExecFunc: func(ctx context.Context, args []string) error {
			// do something with ctx :)
			return nil
		},
	},
}

// all the acmd.Config fields are optional
r := acmd.RunnerOf(cmds, acmd.Config{
	AppName:        "acmd-example",
	AppDescription: "Example of acmd package",
	Version:        "the best v0.x.y",
	// Context - if nil `signal.Notify` will be used
	// Args - if nil `os.Args[1:]` will be used
	// Usage - if nil default print will be used
})

if err := r.Run(); err != nil {
	r.Exit(err)
}

Overview

Package acmd is a simple, useful and opinionated CLI package in Go.

See: https://github.com/cristalhq/acmd

Example (Alias) 
package main

import (
	"context"
	"fmt"
	"os"

	"github.com/cristalhq/acmd"
)

var nopUsage = func(cfg acmd.Config, cmds []acmd.Command) {}

func main() {
	testOut := os.Stdout
	testArgs := []string{"someapp", "f"}

	cmds := []acmd.Command{
		{
			Name:  "foo",
			Alias: "f",
			ExecFunc: func(ctx context.Context, args []string) error {
				fmt.Fprint(testOut, "foo")
				return nil
			},
		},
		{
			Name:  "bar",
			Alias: "b",
			ExecFunc: func(ctx context.Context, args []string) error {
				fmt.Fprint(testOut, "bar")
				return nil
			},
		},
	}

	r := acmd.RunnerOf(cmds, acmd.Config{
		AppName:        "acmd-example",
		AppDescription: "Example of acmd package",
		Version:        "the best v0.x.y",
		Output:         testOut,
		Args:           testArgs,
		Usage:          nopUsage,
	})

	if err := r.Run(); err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

}

Output:

foo
Example (Autosuggestion) 
package main

import (
	"context"
	"os"

	"github.com/cristalhq/acmd"
)

var (
	nopFunc  = func(context.Context, []string) error { return nil }
	nopUsage = func(cfg acmd.Config, cmds []acmd.Command) {}
)

func main() {
	testOut := os.Stdout
	testArgs := []string{"someapp", "baz"}

	cmds := []acmd.Command{
		{Name: "foo", ExecFunc: nopFunc},
		{Name: "bar", ExecFunc: nopFunc},
	}

	r := acmd.RunnerOf(cmds, acmd.Config{
		AppName:        "acmd-example",
		AppDescription: "Example of acmd package",
		Version:        "the best v0.x.y",
		Output:         testOut,
		Args:           testArgs,
		Usage:          nopUsage,
	})

	if err := r.Run(); err == nil {
		panic("must fail with command not found")
	}

}

Output:

"baz" unknown command, did you mean "bar"?
Run "acmd-example help" for usage.

Usage:

    acmd-example <command> [arguments...]

The commands are:

    boom                <no description>
    help                shows help message
