Types of Command options

Types

type Argument

type Argument struct {
	Name          string
	Type          ArgumentType
	Required      bool // error if no value is specified
	Variadic      bool // unlimited values can be specfied
	SupportsStdin bool // can accept stdin as a value
	Recursive     bool // supports recursive file adding (with '-r' flag)
	Description   string
}

func FileArg

func FileArg(name string, required, variadic bool, description string) Argument

func StringArg

func StringArg(name string, required, variadic bool, description string) Argument

func (Argument) EnableRecursive

func (a Argument) EnableRecursive() Argument

func (Argument) EnableStdin

func (a Argument) EnableStdin() Argument

type ArgumentType

type ArgumentType int

const (
	ArgString ArgumentType = iota
	ArgFile
)

type Error

type Error struct {
	Message string
	Code    ErrorType
}

Error is a struct for marshalling errors

func Errorf

func Errorf(code ErrorType, format string, args ...interface{}) Error

Errorf returns an Error with the given code and format specification

func (Error) Error

func (e Error) Error() string

func (Error) MarshalJSON

func (e Error) MarshalJSON() ([]byte, error)

func (*Error) UnmarshalJSON

func (e *Error) UnmarshalJSON(data []byte) error

type ErrorType

type ErrorType uint

ErrorType signfies a category of errors

const (
	ErrNormal         ErrorType = iota // general errors
	ErrClient                          // error was caused by the client, (e.g. invalid CLI usage)
	ErrImplementation                  // programmer error in the server
	ErrNotFound                        // == HTTP 404
	ErrFatal                           // abort instantly

)

ErrorTypes convey what category of error ocurred

type HelpText

type HelpText struct {
	// required
	Tagline               string            // used in <cmd usage>
	ShortDescription      string            // used in DESCRIPTION
	SynopsisOptionsValues map[string]string // mappings for synopsis generator

	// optional - whole section overrides
	Usage           string // overrides USAGE section
	LongDescription string // overrides DESCRIPTION section
	Options         string // overrides OPTIONS section
	Arguments       string // overrides ARGUMENTS section
	Subcommands     string // overrides SUBCOMMANDS section
	Synopsis        string // overrides SYNOPSIS field
}

HelpText is a set of strings used to generate command help text. The help text follows formats similar to man pages, but not exactly the same.

type OptMap

type OptMap map[string]interface{}

type Option

type Option interface {
	Name() string    // the main name of the option
	Names() []string // a list of unique names matched with user-provided flags

	Type() reflect.Kind  // value must be this type
	Description() string // a short string that describes this option

	WithDefault(interface{}) Option // sets the default value of the option
	Default() interface{}

	Parse(str string) (interface{}, error)
}

Option is used to specify a field that will be provided by a consumer

func BoolOption
