This package also enables to complete flags defined by the standard library `flag` package.
To use this feature, simply call `complete.CommandLine` before `flag.Parse`. (See ./example/stdlib).
- import (
- "flag"
- + "github.com/posener/complete/v2"
- )
- var (
- // Define flags here...
- foo = flag.Bool("foo", false, "")
- )
-
- func main() {
- // Call command line completion before parsing the flags - provide it with the binary name.
- + complete.CommandLine("my-program")
- flag.Parse()
- }
+ import (
+ "flag"
+ + "github.com/posener/complete/v2"
+ )
+ var (
+ // Define flags here...
+ foo = flag.Bool("foo", false, "")
+ )
+ func main() {
+ // Call command line completion before parsing the flags - provide it with the binary name.
+ + complete.CommandLine("my-program")
+ flag.Parse()
+ }
If flag value completion is desired, it can be done by providing the standard library `flag.Var`
function a `flag.Value` that also implements the `complete.Predictor` interface. For standard
flag with values, it is possible to use the `github.com/posener/complete/compflag` package.
(See ./example/compflag).
- import (
- "flag"
- + "github.com/posener/complete/v2"
- + "github.com/posener/complete/v2/compflag"
- )
- var (
- // Define flags here...
- - foo = flag.Bool("foo", false, "")
- + foo = compflag.Bool("foo", false, "")
- )
-
- func main() {
- // Call command line completion before parsing the flags.
- + complete.CommandLine("my-program")
- flag.Parse()
- }
+ import (
+ "flag"
+ + "github.com/posener/complete/v2"
+ + "github.com/posener/complete/v2/compflag"
+ )
+ var (
+ // Define flags here...
+ - foo = flag.Bool("foo", false, "")
+ + foo = compflag.Bool("foo", false, "")
+ )
+ func main() {
+ // Call command line completion before parsing the flags.
+ + complete.CommandLine("my-program")
+ flag.Parse()
+ }
Instead of calling both `complete.CommandLine` and `flag.Parse`, one can call just `compflag.Parse`
which does them both.
