Overview ¶
Package echidna builds upon the Github packages knadh/koanf, urfave/cli/v3, bruceesmith/sflags to make it extremely simple to use the features of these excellent packages in concert.
Every program using echidna will expose a standard set of command-line flags (--json, --log, --trace, --verbose) in addition to the standard flags provided by urfave/cli/v3 (--help and --version).
If a configuration struct is provided to Run function by Configuration, then a further command-line flag (--config) is added to provide the source(s) of values for fields in the struct.
Command-line flags bound to fields in the configuration are created by providing ConfigFlags to Run. These flags can be bound either to the root command or to one or more child commands.

Functions ¶
func Run ¶ added in v1.0.0
Run is the primary external function of this library. It augments the cli.Command with default command-line flags, hooks in handling for processing a configuration, runs the appropriate Action, calls the terminator to wait for goroutine cleanup
Example (Action) ¶
// Include an Action function // var cmd = &cli.Command{ Action: func(ctx context.Context, cmd *cli.Command) error { fmt.Println("hello") return nil }, Name: "runaction", Version: "1", } os.Args = []string{"runaction"} Run(context.Background(), cmd)
Output: hello
Example (Basic) ¶
// The most basic example // var cmd = &cli.Command{ Name: "runbasic", Action: func(ctx context.Context, cmd *cli.Command) error { return nil }, } os.Args = []string{"runbasic", "h"} Run(context.Background(), cmd, NoDefaultFlags())
Output: NAME: runbasic - A new cli application USAGE: runbasic [global options] [command [command options]] COMMANDS: version, v print the version help, h Shows a list of commands or help for one command GLOBAL OPTIONS: --help, -h show help
Example (Customflag) ¶
// Include a custom flag // var cmd = &cli.Command{ Action: func(ctx context.Context, cmd *cli.Command) error { fmt.Println("hello", cmd.Int("i")) return nil }, Flags: []cli.Flag{ &cli.IntFlag{ Name: "i", Usage: "An integer", }, }, Name: "runcustomflag", Version: "1", } os.Args = []string{"runcustomflag", "-i", "22"} Run(context.Background(), cmd, NoDefaultFlags())
Output: hello 22
Example (Flagwithdefault) ¶
// Include a custom flag with a default value // var cmd = &cli.Command{ Action: func(ctx context.Context, cmd *cli.Command) error { fmt.Println("hello") return nil }, Flags: []cli.Flag{ &cli.IntFlag{ Name: "i", Usage: "An integer", Value: 22, }, }, Name: "runflagwithdefault", Version: "1", } os.Args = []string{"runflagwithdefault", "--help"} Run(context.Background(), cmd, NoDefaultFlags())
Output: NAME: runflagwithdefault - A new cli application USAGE: runflagwithdefault [global options] [command [command options]] VERSION: 1 COMMANDS: version, v print the version help, h Shows a list of commands or help for one command GLOBAL OPTIONS: -i int An integer (default: 22) --help, -h show help --version, -v print the version
Example (Version) ¶
// Include a Version field in the Command // var cmd = &cli.Command{ Name: "runversion", Action: func(ctx context.Context, cmd *cli.Command) error { return nil }, Version: "1", } os.Args = []string{"runversion", "h"} Run(context.Background(), cmd, NoDefaultFlags())
Output: NAME: runversion - A new cli application USAGE: runversion [global options] [command [command options]] VERSION: 1 COMMANDS: version, v print the version help, h Shows a list of commands or help for one command GLOBAL OPTIONS: --help, -h show help --version, -v print the version

FlagDivider is the character in between parts of a struct-bound command line flag's name
func FlagTag ¶ added in v1.0.0
func FlagTag(tag string) FlagOption
FlagTag is the struct tag used to configure struct-bound command line flags
func Flatten ¶ added in v1.0.0
func Flatten(flatten bool) FlagOption
Flatten determines the name of a command line flag bound to a an anonymous struct field
func Prefix ¶ added in v1.0.0
func Prefix(prefix string) FlagOption
Prefix is an optional prefix for the names of all struct-bound command line flags
