Usage


Create a command string in YAML format in a:

YAML file
Python dictionary
Python string



Convert the yaml file to command line namespace using appropriate function


1. Using a YAML file
# Create command tree in a yaml file

git:
args:
path:
atype: flag
help: Path of the repo
subparsers:
parsers:
clone:
args:
quiet-clone:
atype: flag
help: Operate quietly. Progress is not reported to the standard error stream.
no-checkout:
help: No checkout of HEAD is performed after the clone is complete
init:
args:
quiet-init:
atype: flag
help: Operate quietly. Progress is not reported to the standard error stream.

# Import betterargs
import betterargs


# Create command line namespace and get arguments
command_tree_PATH = 'command_tree.yaml'

args = betterargs.format_path_tree(command_tree_PATH)

2. Using Python Dictionary in YAML Format
# Import betterargs
import betterargs


# Define command tree in a dictionary in YAML format
command_tree_DICT = {
"git": {
"args": {
"path": {
"atype": "flag",
"help": "Path of the repo",
},
},
"subparsers": {
"parsers": {
"clone": {
"args": {
"quiet-clone": {
"atype": "flag",
"help": "Operate quietly. Progress is not reported to the standard error stream.",
},
"no-checkout": {
"help": "No checkout of HEAD is performed after the clone is complete"
},
},
},
"init": {
"args": {
"quiet-init": {
"atype": "flag",
"help": "Operate quietly. Progress is not reported to the standard error stream.",
},
},
},
},
},
},
}


# Create command line namespace and get arguments
args = betterargs.format_dict_tree(command_tree_DICT)

3. Using string in YAML Format
# Import betterargs
import betterargs


# Define command tree in a string in YAML format
command_tree_STR = """
git:
args:
path:
atype: flag
help: Path of the repo
subparsers:
parsers:
clone:
args:
quiet-clone:
atype: flag
help: Operate quietly. Progress is not reported to the standard error stream.
no-checkout:
help: No checkout of HEAD is performed after the clone is complete
init:
args:
quiet-init:
atype: flag
help: Operate quietly. Progress is not reported to the standard error stream.
"""


# Create command line namespace and get arguments
args = betterargs.format_str_tree(command_tree_STR)
