cotyper 0.7.4

Wrapper around Typer to create command line interfaces for Pydantic models

CoTyper

Inspired by Typer and Pydantic. CoTyper since you add a lot of co in category theory.

CoTyper is a wrapper around Typer but with support for (nested) pydantic models as function arguments.

❗ Note this project is in early development

Install

Install the package via pip:

pip install cotyper

Or install the package via uv:

uv add cotyper

Build from Source

Clone the repository and build the package as wheel file

git clone https://gitlab.opencode.de/lgln/cotyper
cd cotyper
python -m build --wheel # or pip install .

🧑‍💻 Examples

For the examples it is recommended to use the uv command line tool, but feel free to build the environment with pip or poetry as well.

import datetime

from pydantic import BaseModel

from cotyper import App, unfold_cls

app = App()


class MetaData(BaseModel):
    date: datetime.datetime = "2023-10-01T00:00:00"


class Config(BaseModel):
    user_name: str
    url: str
    meta: MetaData = MetaData()

    
class Foo(BaseModel):
    bar: str = "baz"


@app.struct_command("example")
@unfold_cls(Config) # this will unfold the Config model into command line options, hence, exposing the fields of the model itself
def example_command(config: Config, foo: Foo = Foo()):
    """
    Example command that takes a nested pydantic model as argument.

    Args:
        config (Config): Configuration model with user_name, url, and meta data.
        foo (Foo): Another model with a bar attribute.
    """
    print(f"User: {config.user_name}, URL: {config.url}, Meta Date: {config.meta.date}")
    print(f"Foo Bar: {foo.bar}")


if __name__ == "__main__":
    app()

And requesting help will show the nested models as options:

uv run examples/readme.py --help

🗒️ Note, that the @unfold_cls(Config) decorator is used to unfold the Config model into the fields of the model directly.

And running the command with the toy information provides

uv run examples/readme.py --url "pydantic.dev" --user-name "Monty Python"
User: Monty Python, URL: pydantic.dev, Meta Date: 2023-10-01 00:00:00
Foo Bar: baz
