Overview ¶
package GoCrab provides a minimal framework for creating and organizing command line Go applications. cli is designed to be easy to understand and write, the most simple cli application can be written as follows:
func main() { cli.NewApp().Run(os.Args) }
Of course this application does not do much, so let's make this an actual application:
func main() { app := cli.NewApp() app.Name = "greet" app.Usage = "say a greeting" app.Action = func(c *cli.Context) { println("Greetings") } app.Run(os.Args) }
Example ¶
app := cli.NewApp() app.Name = "todo" app.Usage = "task list on the command line" app.Commands = []cli.Command{ { Name: "add", Aliases: []string{"a"}, Usage: "add a task to the list", Action: func(c *cli.Context) { println("added task: ", c.Args().First()) }, }, { Name: "complete", Aliases: []string{"c"}, Usage: "complete a task on the list", Action: func(c *cli.Context) { println("completed task: ", c.Args().First()) }, }, } app.Run(os.Args)
Output:

Variables ¶
var ( CrabApp *App // GoCrab application AppName string AppPath string UseCLI bool AppConfigPath string RecoverPanic bool // flag of auto recover panic AppConfig *GoCrabAppConfig RunMode string // run mode, "dev" or "prod" MaxMemory int64 AppConfigProvider string // config provider RouterCaseSensitive bool // router case sensitive default is true )
var AppHelpTemplate = `` /* 416-byte string literal not displayed */

Name: "generate-bash-completion",
}
This flag enables bash-completion for all commands and subcommands
var CommandHelpTemplate = `` /* 242-byte string literal not displayed */
The text template for the command help topic. cli.go uses text/template to render templates. You can render custom help text by setting this variable.
var HelpFlag = BoolFlag{
Name: "help, h",
Usage: "show help",
}
This flag prints the help for all commands and subcommands Set to the zero value (BoolFlag{}) to disable flag -- keeps subcommand unless HideHelp is set to true)
var HelpPrinter helpPrinter = nil
var Logger *logs.Logger
logger references the used application logger.
var SubcommandHelpTemplate = `` /* 264-byte string literal not displayed */
The text template for the subcommand help topic. cli.go uses text/template to render templates. You can render custom help text by setting this variable.
var VersionFlag = BoolFlag{

Usage: "print the version",
}
This flag prints the version for the application
var VersionPrinter = printVersion
Prints version for the App

func (a *App) RunAndExitOnError()
Another entry point to the cli app, takes care of passing arguments and error handling
func (*App) RunAsSubcommand ¶
Invokes the subcommand given the context, parses ctx.Args() to generate command-specific flags
type Command ¶
type Command struct { // The name of the command Name string // short name of the command. Typically one character (deprecated, use `Aliases`) ShortName string // A list of aliases for the command Aliases []string // A short description of the usage of this command Usage string // A longer explanation of how the command works Description string // The function to call when checking for bash command completions BashComplete func(context *Context) // An action to execute before any sub-subcommands are run, but after the context is ready // If a non-nil error is returned, no sub-subcommands are run Before func(context *Context) error // An action to execute after any subcommands are run, but after the subcommand has finished // It is run even if Action() panics After func(context *Context) error // The function to call when this command is invoked Action func(context *Context) // List of child commands Subcommands []Command // List of flags to parse Flags []Flag // Treat all flags as normal arguments if true SkipFlagParsing bool // Boolean to hide built-in help command HideHelp bool }
