Overview ▾

Package cli 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.App{}).Run(os.Args)
}

Of course this application does not do much, so let's make this an actual application:

func main() {
	app := &cli.App{
  		Name: "greet",
  		Usage: "say a greeting",
  		Action: func(c *cli.Context) error {
  			fmt.Println("Greetings")
  			return nil
  		},
	}

	app.Run(os.Args)
}

CommandHelpTemplate is 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 CommandHelpTemplate = `NAME:

ErrWriter is used to write errors to the user. This can be anything implementing the io.Writer interface and defaults to os.Stderr.

var ErrWriter io.Writer = os.Stderr
var FishCompletionTemplate = `# {{ .App.Name }} fish shell completion

function __fish_{{ .App.Name }}_no_subcommand --description 'Test if there has been any subcommand yet'

HelpPrinter is a function that writes the help output. If not set explicitly, this calls HelpPrinterCustom using only the default template functions.

If custom logic for printing help is required, this function can be overridden. If the ExtraInfo field is defined on an App, this function should not be modified, as HelpPrinterCustom will be used directly in order to capture the extra information.

var HelpPrinter helpPrinter = printHelp

HelpPrinterCustom is a function that writes the help output. It is used as the default implementation of HelpPrinter, and may be called directly if the ExtraInfo field is set on an App.

In the default implementation, if the customFuncs argument contains a "wrapAt" key, which is a function which takes no arguments and returns an int, this int value will be used to produce a "wrap" function used by the default template to wrap long lines.

var HelpPrinterCustom helpPrinterCustom = printHelpCustom

OsExiter is the function used when the app exits. If not set defaults to os.Exit.

var OsExiter = os.Exit

SubcommandHelpTemplate is 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 SubcommandHelpTemplate = `NAME:

func (*App) RunAndExitOnError

func (a *App) RunAndExitOnError()

RunAndExitOnError calls .Run() and exits non-zero if an error was returned

RunContext is like Run except it takes a Context that will be passed to its commands and sub-commands. Through this, you can propagate timeouts and cancellation requests

func (*App) Setup

func (a *App) Setup()

Setup runs initialization code to ensure all data structures are ready for `Run` or inspection prior to `Run`. It is internally called by `Run`, but will return early if setup has already happened.

    Flag
    RequiredFlag
    DocGenerationFlag
    VisibleFlag
    CategorizableFlag

    // SetValue should propagate the given slice to the target, ideally as a new value.
    // Note that a nil slice should nil/clear any existing value (modelled as ~[]E).
    SetValue(slice []E)
    // SetDestination should propagate the given slice to the target, ideally as a new value.
    // Note that a nil slice should nil/clear any existing value (modelled as ~*[]E).
    SetDestination(slice []E)
    // GetDestination should return the current value referenced by any destination, or nil if nil/unset.
    GetDestination() []E
}
