Functions

func AddArgumentsToCobraCommand

func AddArgumentsToCobraCommand(cmd *cobra.Command, arguments []*ParameterDefinition) error

AddArgumentsToCobraCommand adds each ParameterDefinition from `arguments` as positional arguments to the provided `cmd` cobra command. Argument ordering, optionality, and multiplicity constraints are respected:

  • Required arguments (argument.Required == true) should come before the optional.
  • Only one list argument (either ParameterTypeStringList or ParameterTypeIntegerList) is allowed and it should be the last one.

Any violation of these conditions yields an error. This function processes each argument, checks their default values for validity, which if invalid, triggers an error return.

It computes the minimum and maximum number of arguments the command can take based on the required, optional, and list arguments. If everything is successful, it assigns an argument validator (either MinimumNArgs or RangeArgs) to the cobra command's Args attribute.

func AddFlagsToCobraCommand

func AddFlagsToCobraCommand(
	flagSet *pflag.FlagSet,
	flags []*ParameterDefinition,
	prefix string,

) error

AddFlagsToCobraCommand takes the parameters from a CommandDescription and converts them to cobra flags, before adding them to the Flags() of a the passed cobra command.

TODO(manuel, 2023-02-12) We need to handle arbitrary defaults here

See https://github.com/go-go-golems/glazed/issues/132

Currently, usage of this functions just passes the defaults encoded in the metadata YAML files (for glazed flags at least), but really we want to override this on a per command basis easily without having to necessarily copy or mutate the parameters loaded from yaml.

One option would be to remove the defaults structs, and do the overloading by command with ParameterList manipulating functions, so that it is easy for the library user to override and further tweak the defaults.

Currently, that behaviour is encoded in the AddFieldsFilterFlags function itself.

What also needs to be considered is the bigger context that these declarative flags and arguments definitions are going to be used in a lot of different contexts, and might need to be overloaded and initialized in different ways.

For example: - REST API - CLI - GRPC service - TUI bubbletea UI - Web UI - declarative config files

--- 2023-02-12 - manuel

I went with the following solution:

One other option would be to pass this function a map with overloaded default, but while that feels easier and cleaner in the short term, I think it limits the concept of what it means for a library user to overload the defaults handling mechanism. This already becomes apparent in the FieldsFilterDefaults handling, where an empty list or a list containing "all" should be treated the same.

func GatherArguments

func GatherArguments(args []string, arguments []*ParameterDefinition, onlyProvided bool, ignoreRequired bool) (*orderedmap.OrderedMap[string, interface{}], error)

GatherArguments parses positional string arguments into a map of values.

It takes the command-line arguments, the expected argument definitions, and a boolean indicating whether to only include explicitly provided arguments, not the default values of missing arguments.

Only the last parameter definitions can be a list parameter type.

Required arguments missing from the input will result in an error. Arguments with default values can be included based on the onlyProvided flag.

The result is a map with argument names as keys and parsed values. Argument order is maintained.

Any extra arguments not defined will result in an error. Parsing errors for individual arguments will also return errors.

func GatherFlagsFromCobraCommand

func GatherFlagsFromCobraCommand(cmd *cobra.Command, params []*ParameterDefinition, onlyProvided bool, ignoreRequired bool, prefix string) (map[string]interface{}, error)

GatherFlagsFromCobraCommand gathers the flags from the cobra command, and parses them according to the parameter description passed in params. The result is a map of parameter names to parsed values. If onlyProvided is true, only parameters that are provided by the user are returned (i.e. not the default values). If a parameter cannot be parsed correctly, or is missing even though it is not optional, an error is returned.

func GatherFlagsFromViper added in v0.2.18

func GatherFlagsFromViper(
	params []*ParameterDefinition,
	onlyProvided bool,
	prefix string,
) (map[string]interface{}, error)

func GatherParametersFromMap added in v0.2.54

func GatherParametersFromMap(m map[string]interface{}, ps map[string]*ParameterDefinition, onlyProvided bool) (map[string]interface{}, error)

func GenerateUseString added in v0.4.9

func GenerateUseString(cmd *cobra.Command, arguments []*ParameterDefinition) string

GenerateUseString creates a string representation of the 'Use' field for a given cobra command and a list of parameter definitions. The first word of the existing 'Use' field is treated as the verb for the command. The resulting string briefly describes how to use the command respecting the following conventions:

  • Required parameters are enclosed in '<>'.
  • Optional parameters are enclosed in '[]'.
  • Optional parameters that accept multiple input (ParameterTypeStringList or ParameterTypeIntegerList) are followed by '...'.
  • If a parameter has a default value, it is specified after parameter name like 'parameter (default: value)'.

For example:

  • If there is a required parameter 'name', and an optional parameter 'age' with a default value of '30', the resulting string will be: 'verb <name> [age (default: 30)]'.
  • If there is a required parameter 'name', and an optional parameter 'colors' of type ParameterTypeStringList, the resulting Use string will be: 'verb <name> [colors...]'

func InitializeParameterDefaultsFromParameters added in v0.2.18

func InitializeParameterDefaultsFromParameters(
	parameterDefinitions map[string]*ParameterDefinition,
	ps map[string]interface{},
) error

func InitializeParameterDefinitionsFromStruct added in v0.2.13

func InitializeParameterDefinitionsFromStruct(
	parameterDefinitions map[string]*ParameterDefinition,
	s interface{},
) error

InitializeParameterDefinitionsFromStruct initializes a map of parameter definitions from a struct. Each field in the struct annotated with tag `glazed.parameter` will be used to set the default value of the corresponding definition in `parameterDefinitions`. If no `ParameterDefinition` is found for a field, an error is returned. This is the inverse of InitializeStructFromParameterDefinitions.

func InitializeStructFromParameterDefinitions

func InitializeStructFromParameterDefinitions(
	s interface{},
	parameterDefinitions map[string]*ParameterDefinition,
) error

InitializeStructFromParameterDefinitions initializes a struct from a map of parameter definitions.

Each field in the struct annotated with tag `glazed.parameter` will be set to the default value of the corresponding `ParameterDefinition`. If no `ParameterDefinition` is found for a field, an error is returned.

func InitializeStructFromParameters

func InitializeStructFromParameters(s interface{}, ps map[string]interface{}) error

func IsFileLoadingParameter

func IsFileLoadingParameter(p ParameterType, v string) bool

IsFileLoadingParameter returns true if the parameter type is one that loads a file, when provided with the given value. This slightly odd API is because some types like ParameterTypeKeyValue can be either a string or a file. A beginning character of @ indicates a file.

func IsListParameter

func IsListParameter(p ParameterType) bool

IsListParameter returns if the parameter has to be parsed from a list of strings, not if its value is actually a string.

func ParseDate

func ParseDate(value string) (time.Time, error)

func RenderValue added in v0.2.46

func RenderValue(type_ ParameterType, value interface{}) (string, error)

RenderValue renders the given value to string so that it can be parsed as a cobra command line flag. TODO(manuel, 2023-09-09) Refactor rendering of values to strings that can be parsed. This is only applicable to parsing using cobra, but really we now have many more ways of parsing a flag out of a string, among which GET query and FORM input parameters.

func StructToMap added in v0.4.8

func StructToMap(s interface{}) (map[string]interface{}, error)

ParameterDefinition is a declarative way of describing a command line parameter. A ParameterDefinition can be either a Flag or an Argument. Along with metadata (Name, Help) that is useful for help, it also specifies a Type, a Default value and if it is Required.

func LoadParameterDefinitionsFromYAML added in v0.2.84

func LoadParameterDefinitionsFromYAML(yamlContent []byte) (map[string]*ParameterDefinition, []*ParameterDefinition)

LoadParameterDefinitionsFromYAML loads a map of ParameterDefinitions from a YAML file. It checks that default values are valid. It returns the ParameterDefinitions as a map indexed by name, and as a list.
