Create nice CLIs without bloating your apps.

Arguing

Arguing is a little library who lets you create a nice CLI without bloating your app.
Arguing doesn't needs you defining every argument that you wan't, just get it.

Installation

You can use PIP to install the library.

pip install arguing

Use

After installing the library, here's a brief tutorial.

import arguing

argument = arguing.set(
    '--argument',
    argument_type=str,
    default='default_value',
    help_message='Help.'
)
# The first parameter is the argument.
# argument_type is for the type of variable that return on get().
# default sets a default value in case the user don't pass the argument.
# Also, you can define a variable to the function and it will return the argument value.

arguing.get('--argument') # Work with mandatory and non-mandatory arguments.
# arguing.get() returns the parameters value
# It will return it converted to the selected type on arguing.set() if used
# If arguing.get() can't get the parameters value, it will return the default on arguing.set() or None.

# In case you wan't to check if the user passed an specific argument you can use:
arguing.check('--argument') # Checks if argument is on ARGV, returns Bool.

# Function calling:
def greet(name):
    print(f'Hello {name}.')


if __name__ == '__main__':
    arguing.function(target=greet)

# This will call the function "greet" with it's parameters.
# Terminal input: python test.py name "Antitesista"
# Output: Hello Antitesista.

# You can combine arguing.set() to add default values.
