Package cloudeng.io/cmdutil/subcmd

import cloudeng.io/cmdutil/subcmd

Package subcmd provides a multi-level command facility of the following form:

Usage of <tool>
  <sub-command-1> <flags for sub-command-1> <args for sub-comand-1>
    <sub-command-2-1> <flags for sub-command-2-1> <args for sub-comand-2-1>
    ...
    <sub-command-2-2> <flags for sub-command-2-2> <args for sub-comand-2-2>
  ...
  <sub-command-n> <flags for sub-command-n> <args for sub-comand-n>

The primary motivation for this package was to avoid the need to use global variables to store flag values packages. Such global variables quickly become a maintenance problem as command line tools evolve and in particular as functions are refactored. The cloudeng.io/cmdutil/flags package provides a means of defining flags as fields in a struct with a struct tag providing the flag name, default value and usage and is used to represent all flags.

subcmd builds on the standard flag package and mirrors its design but without requiring that flag.Parse or any of its global state be used.

Flags are represented by a FlagSet which encapsulates an underlying flag.FlagSet but with flag variables provided via cloudeng.io/cmdutil/flags.

The Command type associates a FlagSet with the function that implements that command as well as documenting the command. This 'runner' takes as an argument the struct used to store its flag values as well as the command line arguments; thus avoiding the need for global flag variables at the cost of a type assertion. A CommandSet is used to create the command hierarchy itself and finally the cmdset can be used to dispatch the appropriate command functions via cmdset.Dispatch or DispatchWithArgs.

type rangeFlags struct {
  From int `subcmd:"from,1,start value for a range"`
  To   int `subcmd:"to,2,end value for a range "`
}

func printRange(ctx context.Context, values interface{}, args []string) error {
  r := values.(*rangeFlags)
  fmt.Printf("%v..%v\n", r.From, r.To)
  return nil
}

func main() {
  ctx := context.Background()
  fs := subcmd.MustRegisteredFlags(&rangeFlags{})
  // Subcommands are created using subcmd.NewCommandLevel.
  cmd := subcmd.NewCommand("ranger", fs, printRange, subcmd.WithoutArguments())
  cmd.Document("print an integer range")
  cmdSet := subcmd.NewCommandSet(cmd)
  cmdSet.MustDispatch(ctx)
}

In addition it is possible to register 'global' flags that may be specified before any sub commands on invocation and also to wrap calls to any subcommand's runner function. The former is useful for setting common flags and the latter for acting on those flags and/or implementing common functionality such as profiling or initializing logging etc.

The FromYAML function provides a more convenient and readable means of creating a command tree than using the NewCommand and NewCommandSet functions directly. FromYAML reads a yaml specification of a command tree, its summary documentation and argument specification and calls NewCommand and NewCommandSet internally.

The returned CommandSetYAML type can then be used to 'decorate' the command tree with the runner functions and flag value instances. The YAML mechanism provides identical functionality to calling the functions directly.

The YAML specification is show below and reflects the tree structure of the command tree to be created.

	name: command-name
	summary: description of the command
	arguments:
	commands:
	  - name:
	    summary:
	    arguments:
	    commands:
   - name:
     summary:
     ...

The summary and argument values are used in calls in the Command.Document. The arguments: field is a list of the expected arguments that also defines the number of expected arguments.

  1. If the field is missing or the list is empty then no arguments are allowed.

  2. If the list contains n arguments then exactly that number of arguments is expected, unless, the last argument in the list is '...' in which case at least that number is expected. Similarly if an argument ends in '...' then at least the preceding number of arguments is expected.

  3. If there is a single item in the list and it is enclosed in [] (in a quoted string), then 0 or 1 arguments are expected.

To define a simple command line, with no sub-commands, specify only the name:, summary: and arguments: fields.

CommandSet.Dispatch implements support for requesting help information on the top level and subcommands. Running a command with sub-commands without specifying one of those sub-commands results in a 'usage' message showing summary information and the available subcommands. Help on a specific subcommand is available via ' help ' or for multi-level commands ' help '. The --help flag can be used to display information on a commands flags and arguments, eg: ' --help' or " --help".

Note that this package will never call flag.Parse and will not associate any flags with flag.CommandLine.

Type Extension
type Extension interface {
	Name() string
	YAML() string
	Set(cmdSet *CommandSetYAML) error
}

Extension allows for extending a YAMLCommandSet with additional commands at runtime. Implementations of extension are used in conjunction with a templated version of the YAML command tree spec. The template can refer to an extension using the subcmdExtension function in a template pipeline:

  • name: command commands: {{range subcmdExtension "exensionName"}}{{.}} {{end}}

The extensionName is the name of the extension as returned by the Name method, and . refers to results of the YAML method split into single lines. Thus for the above example, the YAML method can return:

- name: c3.1 - name: c3.2

The template expansion ensures the correct indentation in the final YAML that's used to create the command tree.

In addition to adding the extension to the YAML used to create the command tree, the Set method is also used to add the extension's commands to the command set. The Set method is called by CommandSetYAML.AddExtensions which should itself be called before the command set is used.

Functions
func MergeExtensions(name string, exts ...Extension) Extension

MergeExtensions returns an extension that merges the supplied extensions. Calling the Set method on the returned extension will call the Set method on each of the supplied extensions. The YAML method returns the concatenation of the YAML methods of the supplied extensions in the order that they are specified.

	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

FlagSet represents the name, description and flag values for a command.

Functions
func GlobalFlagSet() *FlagSet

GlobalFlagSet creates a new FlagSet that is to be used for global flags.

func MustRegisterFlagStruct(flagValues interface{}, valueDefaults map[string]interface{}, usageDefaults map[string]string) *FlagSet

MustRegisterFlagStruct is like RegisterFlagStruct except that it panics on encountering an error. Its use is encouraged over RegisterFlagStruct from within init functions.

func MustRegisteredFlagSet(flagValues interface{}, defaults ...interface{}) *FlagSet

MustRegisteredFlagSet is like RegisteredFlagSet but will panic if defaults contains inappopriate types for the value and usage defaults.

func NewFlagSet() *FlagSet

NewFlagSet returns a new instance of FlagSet.

func RegisterFlagStruct(flagValues interface{}, valueDefaults map[string]interface{}, usageDefaults map[string]string) (*FlagSet, error)

RegisterFlagStruct creates a new FlagSet and calls RegisterFlagStruct on it.

func RegisteredFlagSet(flagValues interface{}, defaults ...interface{}) (*FlagSet, error)

RegisteredFlagSet is a convenience function that creates a new FlagSet and calls RegisterFlagStruct on it. The valueDefaults and usageDefaults are extracted from the defaults variadic parameter. MustRegisteredFlagSet will panic if defaults contains inappopriate types for the value and usage defaults.

Methods
func (cf *FlagSet) IsSet(field interface{}) (string, bool)

IsSet returns true if the supplied flag variable's value has been set, either via a string literal in the struct or via the valueDefaults argument to RegisterFlagStruct.

func (cf *FlagSet) MustRegisterFlagStruct(flagValues interface{}, valueDefaults map[string]interface{}, usageDefaults map[string]string) *FlagSet

MustRegisterFlagStruct is like RegisterFlagStruct except that it panics on encountering an error. Its use is encouraged over RegisterFlagStruct from within init functions.

func (cf *FlagSet) RegisterFlagStruct(flagValues interface{}, valueDefaults map[string]interface{}, usageDefaults map[string]string) error

RegisterFlagStruct registers a struct, using flags.RegisterFlagsInStructWithSetMap. The struct tag must be 'subcomd'. The returned SetMap can be queried by the IsSet method.

type Main func(ctx context.Context, cmdRunner func(ctx context.Context) error) error

Main is the type of the function that can be used to intercept a call to a Runner.

Type Runner
type Runner func(ctx context.Context, flagValues interface{}, args []string) error

Overview

Package subcmd provides a multi-level command facility of the following form: 

Usage of <tool>
  <sub-command-1> <flags for sub-command-1> <args for sub-comand-1>
    <sub-command-2-1> <flags for sub-command-2-1> <args for sub-comand-2-1>
    ...
    <sub-command-2-2> <flags for sub-command-2-2> <args for sub-comand-2-2>
  ...
  <sub-command-n> <flags for sub-command-n> <args for sub-comand-n>

func printRange(ctx context.Context, values interface{}, args []string) error {

  fmt.Printf("%v..%v\n", r.From, r.To)
  return nil
}

func main() {

Note that the arguments may be structured into a short form name and a description, eg. arg - description, where ' - ' is used to separate the short form and description. The usage displayed will use the short form name to display a summary of the command line and the description will be detailed below, eg: 

my-command <arg1> <arg2>
  <arg1> - description of arg1
  <arg2> - description of arg2

func FromYAML 

func FromYAML(spec []byte) (*CommandSetYAML, error)

FromYAML parses a YAML specification of the command tree.

func FromYAMLTemplate 

func FromYAMLTemplate(specTpl string, exts ...Extension) (*CommandSetYAML, []byte, error)

FromYAMLTemplate returns a CommandSetYAML using the expanded value of the supplied template and the supplied extensions.

func MustFromYAML 

func MustFromYAML(spec string) *CommandSetYAML

MustFromYAML is like FromYAML but will panic if the YAML spec is incorrectly defined. It calls SanitizeYAML on its input before calling FromYAML.

func MustFromYAMLTemplate 

func MustFromYAMLTemplate(specTpl string, exts ...Extension) *CommandSetYAML

MustFromYAMLTemplate is like FromYAMLTemplate except that it panics on error. SanitzeYAML is called on the expanded template.

func (*CommandSetYAML) AddExtensions 

func (c *CommandSetYAML) AddExtensions() error

AddExtensions calls the Set method on each of the extensions.

func (*CommandSetYAML) MustAddExtensions 

func (c *CommandSetYAML) MustAddExtensions()

MustAddExtensions is like AddExtensions but panics on error.

func (*CommandSetYAML) Set 

func (c *CommandSetYAML) Set(names ...string) *CurrentCommand

Set looks up the command specified by names. Each sub-command in a multi-level command should be specified separately. The returned CurrentCommand should be used to set the Runner and FlagSet to associate with that command.

type CurrentCommand 

type CurrentCommand struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

func (*CurrentCommand) MustRunner 

func (c *CurrentCommand) MustRunner(runner Runner, fs any)

MustRunner is like Runner but will panic on error.

func (*CurrentCommand) MustRunnerAndFlagSet 

func (c *CurrentCommand) MustRunnerAndFlagSet(runner Runner, fs *FlagSet)

MustRunnerAndFlagSet is like RunnerAndFlagSet but will panic on error.

func (*CurrentCommand) MustRunnerAndFlags deprecated 

func (c *CurrentCommand) MustRunnerAndFlags(runner Runner, fs *FlagSet)

Deprecated: Use MustRunnerAndFlagSet or MustRunner.

func (*CurrentCommand) Runner 

func (c *CurrentCommand) Runner(runner Runner, fs any, defaults ...any) error

Runner specifies the Runner and struct to use as a FlagSet for the currently 'set' command as returned by CommandSetYAML.Set.

func (*CurrentCommand) RunnerAndFlagSet 

func (c *CurrentCommand) RunnerAndFlagSet(runner Runner, fs *FlagSet) error

RunnerAndFlagset specifies the Runner and FlagSet for the currently 'set' command as returned by CommandSetYAML.Set.

func (*CurrentCommand) RunnerAndFlags deprecated 

func (c *CurrentCommand) RunnerAndFlags(runner Runner, fs *FlagSet) error

Deprecated: Use RunnerAndFlagSet or Runner.

type Extension 

type Extension interface {
	Name() string
	YAML() string
	Set(cmdSet *CommandSetYAML) error
}

Extension allows for extending a YAMLCommandSet with additional commands at runtime. Implementations of extension are used in conjunction with a templated version of the YAML command tree spec. The template can refer to an extension using the subcmdExtension function in a template pipeline:

  • name: command commands: {{range subcmdExtension "exensionName"}}{{.}} {{end}}

The extensionName is the name of the extension as returned by the Name method, and . refers to results of the YAML method split into single lines. Thus for the above example, the YAML method can return:

`- name: c3.1 - name: c3.2`

The template expansion ensures the correct indentation in the final YAML that's used to create the command tree.

In addition to adding the extension to the YAML used to create the command tree, the Set method is also used to add the extension's commands to the command set. The Set method is called by CommandSetYAML.AddExtensions which should itself be called before the command set is used.

func MergeExtensions 

func MergeExtensions(name string, exts ...Extension) Extension

MergeExtensions returns an extension that merges the supplied extensions. Calling the Set method on the returned extension will call the Set method on each of the supplied extensions. The YAML method returns the concatenation of the YAML methods of the supplied extensions in the order that they are specified.

func NewExtension 

func NewExtension(name, spec string, appendFn func(cmdSet *CommandSetYAML) error) Extension

NewExtension creates a new Extension with the specified name and spec. The name is used to refer to the extension in the YAML template.

type FlagSet 

type FlagSet struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

FlagSet represents the name, description and flag values for a command.

func GlobalFlagSet 

func GlobalFlagSet() *FlagSet

GlobalFlagSet creates a new FlagSet that is to be used for global flags.

func MustRegisterFlagStruct 

func MustRegisterFlagStruct(flagValues interface{}, valueDefaults map[string]interface{}, usageDefaults map[string]string) *FlagSet

MustRegisterFlagStruct is like RegisterFlagStruct except that it panics on encountering an error. Its use is encouraged over RegisterFlagStruct from within init functions.

func MustRegisteredFlagSet 

func MustRegisteredFlagSet(flagValues interface{}, defaults ...interface{}) *FlagSet

MustRegisteredFlagSet is like RegisteredFlagSet but will panic if defaults contains inappopriate types for the value and usage defaults.

func NewFlagSet 

func NewFlagSet() *FlagSet

NewFlagSet returns a new instance of FlagSet.

func RegisterFlagStruct 

func RegisterFlagStruct(flagValues interface{}, valueDefaults map[string]interface{}, usageDefaults map[string]string) (*FlagSet, error)

RegisterFlagStruct creates a new FlagSet and calls RegisterFlagStruct on it.

func RegisteredFlagSet 

func RegisteredFlagSet(flagValues interface{}, defaults ...interface{}) (*FlagSet, error)

RegisteredFlagSet is a convenience function that creates a new FlagSet and calls RegisterFlagStruct on it. The valueDefaults and usageDefaults are extracted from the defaults variadic parameter. MustRegisteredFlagSet will panic if defaults contains inappopriate types for the value and usage defaults.

func (*FlagSet) IsSet 

func (cf *FlagSet) IsSet(field interface{}) (string, bool)

IsSet returns true if the supplied flag variable's value has been set, either via a string literal in the struct or via the valueDefaults argument to RegisterFlagStruct.

func (*FlagSet) MustRegisterFlagStruct 

func (cf *FlagSet) MustRegisterFlagStruct(flagValues interface{}, valueDefaults map[string]interface{}, usageDefaults map[string]string) *FlagSet

MustRegisterFlagStruct is like RegisterFlagStruct except that it panics on encountering an error. Its use is encouraged over RegisterFlagStruct from within init functions.

func (*FlagSet) RegisterFlagStruct 

func (cf *FlagSet) RegisterFlagStruct(flagValues interface{}, valueDefaults map[string]interface{}, usageDefaults map[string]string) error

RegisterFlagStruct registers a struct, using flags.RegisterFlagsInStructWithSetMap. The struct tag must be 'subcomd'. The returned SetMap can be queried by the IsSet method.

type Main 

type Main func(ctx context.Context, cmdRunner func(ctx context.Context) error) error

Main is the type of the function that can be used to intercept a call to a Runner.

type Runner 

type Runner func(ctx context.Context, flagValues interface{}, args []string) error

Runner is the type of the function to be called to run a particular command.
