completion

Description:

completion

Add shell command completion to your Dart console applications.



To use this package, instead of this:
import 'package:args/args.dart';

void main(List<String> args) {
final argParser = ArgParser()..addFlag('option', help: 'flag help');
// ... add more options ...
final argResults = argParser.parse(args);
// ...
}
copied to clipboard
do this:
import 'package:args/args.dart';
import 'package:completion/completion.dart' as completion;

void main(List<String> args) {
final argParser = ArgParser()..addFlag('option', help: 'flag help');
// ... add more options ...
final argResults = completion.tryArgsCompletion(args, argParser);
// ...
}
copied to clipboard
(The only difference is calling complete.tryArgsCompletion in place of argParser.parse)
This will add a "completion" command to your app, which the shell will use
to complete arguments.
To generate the setup script automatically, call generateCompletionScript
with the names of the executables that your Dart script runs as (typically
just one, but it could be more).
Also, see the example.
