Overview ¶
Package cobra is a commander providing a simple interface to create powerful modern CLI interfaces. In addition to providing an interface, Cobra simultaneously provides a controller to organize your application code.

Functions ¶
func AddTemplateFunc ¶
func AddTemplateFunc(name string, tmplFunc interface{})
AddTemplateFunc adds a template function that's available to Usage and Help template generation.
func AddTemplateFuncs ¶
AddTemplateFuncs adds multiple template functions availalble to Usage and Help template generation.
Types ¶
type Command ¶
type Command struct { // The one-line usage message. Use string // An array of aliases that can be used instead of the first word in Use. Aliases []string // The short description shown in the 'help' output. Short string // The long message shown in the 'help <this-command>' output. Long string // Examples of how to use the command Example string // The *Run functions are executed in the following order: // * PersistentPreRun() // * PreRun() // * Run() // * PostRun() // * PersistentPostRun() // All functions get the same args, the arguments after the command name // PersistentPreRun: children of this command will inherit and execute PersistentPreRun func(cmd *Command, args []string) // PreRun: children of this command will not inherit. PreRun func(cmd *Command, args []string) // Run: Typically the actual work function. Most commands will only implement this Run func(cmd *Command, args []string) // PostRun: run after the Run command. PostRun func(cmd *Command, args []string) // PersistentPostRun: children of this command will inherit and execute after PostRun PersistentPostRun func(cmd *Command, args []string) // contains filtered or unexported fields }
Command is just that, a command for your application. eg. 'go run' ... 'run' is the command. Cobra requires you to define the usage and description as part of your command definition to ensure usability.
func (*Command) AddCommand ¶
AddCommand adds one or more commands to this parent command.
func (*Command) ArgsLenAtDash ¶
ArgsLenAtDash will return the length of f.Args at the moment when a -- was found during arg parsing. This allows your program to know which args were before the -- and which came after. (Description from https://godoc.org/github.com/spf13/pflag#FlagSet.ArgsLenAtDash).
func (*Command) CommandPath ¶
CommandPath returns the full path to this command.
func (*Command) CommandPathPadding ¶
func (*Command) DebugFlags ¶
func (c *Command) DebugFlags()
For use in determining which flags have been assigned to which commands and which persist
func (*Command) Execute ¶
Call execute to use the args (os.Args[1:] by default) and run through the command tree finding appropriate matches for commands and then corresponding flags.
func (*Command) Find ¶
find the target command given the args and command tree Meant to be run on the highest node. Only searches down.
func (*Command) Flags ¶
Get the complete FlagSet that applies to this command (local and persistent declared here and by all parents)
func (*Command) GlobalNormalizationFunc ¶
GlobalNormalizationFunc returns the global normalization function or nil if doesn't exists
func (*Command) HasAvailableSubCommands ¶
HasAvailableSubCommands determines if a command has available sub commands that need to be shown in the usage/help default template under 'available commands'
func (*Command) HasExample ¶
func (*Command) HasFlags ¶
Does the command contain any flags (local plus persistent from the entire structure)
func (*Command) HasHelpSubCommands ¶
HasHelpSubCommands determines if a command has any avilable 'help' sub commands that need to be shown in the usage/help default template under 'additional help topics'
func (*Command) HasInheritedFlags ¶
func (*Command) HasLocalFlags ¶
Does the command has flags specifically declared locally
func (*Command) HasPersistentFlags ¶
Does the command contain persistent flags
func (*Command) HasSubCommands ¶
Determine if the command has children commands
func (*Command) Help ¶
Output the help for the command Used when a user calls help [command] by the default HelpFunc in the commander
func (*Command) HelpFunc ¶
HelpFunc returns either the function set by SetHelpFunc for this command or a parent, or it returns a function which calls c.Help()
func (*Command) HelpTemplate ¶
func (*Command) InheritedFlags ¶
All Flags which were inherited from parents commands
func (*Command) IsAvailableCommand ¶
IsAvailableCommand determines if a command is available as a non-help command
func (*Command) IsHelpCommand ¶
IsHelpCommand determines if a command is a 'help' command; a help command is determined by the fact that it is NOT runnable, and has no sub commands that are runnable
func (*Command) LocalFlags ¶
Get the local FlagSet specifically set in the current command
func (*Command) NameAndAliases ¶
func (*Command) NamePadding ¶
func (*Command) NonInheritedFlags ¶
All Flags which were not inherited from parent commands
func (*Command) ParseFlags ¶
Parses persistent flag tree & local flags
func (*Command) PersistentFlags ¶
Get the Persistent FlagSet specifically set in the current command
func (*Command) Println ¶
func (c *Command) Println(i ...interface{})
Convenience method to Println to the defined output
func (*Command) SetArgs ¶
os.Args[1:] by default, if desired, can be overridden particularly useful when testing.
func (*Command) SetGlobalNormalizationFunc ¶
func (c *Command) SetGlobalNormalizationFunc(n func(f *flag.FlagSet, name string) flag.NormalizedName)
SetGlobalNormalizationFunc sets a normalization function to all flag sets and also to child commands. The user should not have a cyclic dependency on commands.
func (*Command) SetHelpCommand ¶
func (*Command) SetHelpFunc ¶
Can be defined by Application
func (*Command) SetHelpTemplate ¶
Can be defined by Application
func (*Command) SetOutput ¶
SetOutput sets the destination for usage and error messages. If output is nil, os.Stderr is used.
func (*Command) SetUsageFunc ¶
Usage can be defined by application
func (*Command) SetUsageTemplate ¶
Can be defined by Application
func (*Command) Usage ¶
Output the usage for the command Used when a user provides invalid input Can be defined by user by overriding UsageFunc
