I am using python click module to create a CLI. The fact is that I want to have category commands with arguments, for example:
myawesomecli env info
myawesomecli env clean
myawesomecli env ...
myawesomecli database create-table <name>
myawesomecli database insert <entry>
myawesomecli database ...
So far, I can come up with this:
import click
@click.group()
@click.version_option(version='0.1 ')
def cli():
pass
@cli.command()
@click.argument('option')
def env(option):
if option == 'info':
click.echo("run env info command")
elif option == 'clean':
click.echo("run env clean command")
...
@cli.command()
@click.argument('option')
def database(option):
if option == 'create-table':
click.echo("run database create-table command")
elif option == 'clean':
click.echo("run database clean command")
...
Is there a way to have a function for each subcommand instead of using the if-else's?
import click
@click.group()
@click.version_option(version='0.1 ')
def cli():
pass
@cli.group()
@click.argument('option')
def env(option):
""" Define the environment of the product """
pass
@env.command()
def info():
click.echo("run env info command")
@env.command():
def group():
click.echo("run env group command")
...
I'm also struggling to understand a few things but this is one idea that i hope helps.
