typer-powertools

Extended batteries for Typer — 12 powerful CLI extensions to build production-grade tools faster.

typer-powertools extends Typer with the features every professional CLI eventually needs: layered configuration, auditing, interactive shells, setup wizards, and more. Stop writing boilerplate and start building features.

12 Batteries Included

Quick Start

import typer
from typer_powertools import config_option, audit_command, cached_command, track_progress

app = typer.Typer()

@app.command()
@audit_command(app_name="myapp")  # ← Logs invocation to SQLite
@cached_command(ttl=3600)         # ← Caches result for 1 hour
@config_option(app_name="myapp")  # ← Loads from pyproject.toml / .env
def deploy(env: str = "staging"):
    for step in track_progress(range(10), description="Deploying..."):
        do_work(step)
    typer.echo(f"✓ Deployed to {env}")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app()

Feature Highlights

🛠 Layered Config & Pydantic

Automatically load configuration from multiple sources with strict precedence: CLI args > Env Vars > Config File > Defaults.

from typer_powertools import pydantic_config_option
from pydantic import BaseModel

class MyConfig(BaseModel):
    api_key: str
    timeout: int = 30

@app.command()
@pydantic_config_option(MyConfig, app_name="myapp")
def connect(cfg: MyConfig):
    typer.echo(f"Connecting with {cfg.api_key}...")

🐚 Interactive Shell (REPL)

Give your users a powerful interactive environment with one line of code.

from typer_powertools import shell_command

# Registers a 'shell' command to your app
shell_command(app, prompt="myapp> ")

🕵️‍♂️ Transparent Auditing

Keep a permanent record of what your CLI did. Includes management commands to view history and stats.

from typer_powertools import register_audit_commands

@app.command()
@audit_command(app_name="myapp", sensitive_params=["password"])
def login(password: str):
    pass

register_audit_commands(app, app_name="myapp")
# Adds: myapp audit history / myapp audit stats

🧙‍♂️ Setup Wizards

Build complex interactive configurations with a fluent API.

from typer_powertools import WizardBuilder

@app.command()
def init():
    wizard = (
        WizardBuilder("Initial Setup")
        .ask("name", "Project Name?")
        .choose("theme", "Select Theme", ["dark", "light"])
        .ask_secret("key", "API Key")
        .build()
    )
    results = wizard.run()
    typer.echo(f"Setup complete for {results['name']}!")

🔄 Config Migrations

Evolve your configuration schema without breaking your users' setups.

from typer_powertools import MigrationManager, register_migration_commands

manager = MigrationManager("myapp")

@manager.migration("v1_to_v2", from_version="1.0", to_version="2.0")
def upgrade(config):
    config["new_key"] = config.pop("old_key")
    return config

register_migration_commands(app, manager)
