A shell for typer apps with autocompletion and history

Project description

Typer Shell!

Beautiful command-line shell with Typer!

This is just an update to click-shell for typer.

I also added some features like:

  • better help by default
  • support for typer default functions (just name one of your commands 'default' and it will be triggered when nothing else is recognized)
  • easily drop into an ipython terminal with the local context loaded with 'shell'
  • each shell can have local parameters with helper functions for loading and saving them from files

See it in action!

And checkout the demo script:

#!/usr/bin/env python


from rich import print
from typer import Context

from typer_shell import make_typer_shell


class App:
    def __init__(self, name: str = "Bob"):
        self.name = name


app = make_typer_shell(prompt="🔥: ", obj=App(), params={"name": "Bob"}, params_path="params.yaml")
inner_app = make_typer_shell(prompt="🌲: ", params={"name": "Bob"}, params_path="innerparams.yaml")
app.add_typer(inner_app, name="inner")


@app.command()
@inner_app.command()
def foobar(name: str = "Bob"):
    "Foobar command"
    print("Hello", name)


@app.command()
def name(ctx: Context, name: str = "Bob"):
    "Name command"
    print("Hello", name)


# Set both the shell and the inner shell to have the same default
@app.command(hidden=True)
@inner_app.command(hidden=True)
def default(ctx: Context, line: str = "Bob"):
    "Name command wrapper for default"
    ctx.invoke(name, ctx=ctx, name=line)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    app()
