docopt-go
An implementation of docopt in the Go programming language.
docopt helps you create beautiful command-line interfaces easily:
package main
import (
"fmt"
"github.com/docopt/docopt-go"
)
func main() {
usage := `Naval Fate.
Usage:
naval_fate ship new <name>...
naval_fate ship <name> move <x> <y> [--speed=<kn>]
naval_fate ship shoot <x> <y>
naval_fate mine (set|remove) <x> <y> [--moored|--drifting]
naval_fate -h | --help
naval_fate --version
Options:
-h --help Show this screen.
--version Show version.
--speed=<kn> Speed in knots [default: 10].
--moored Moored (anchored) mine.
--drifting Drifting mine.`
arguments, _ := docopt.Parse(usage, nil, true, "Naval Fate 2.0", false)
fmt.Println(arguments)
}
docopt parses command-line arguments based on a help message. Don't write parser code: a good help message already has all the necessary information in it.
Installation
⚠ Use the alias “docopt-go”. To use docopt in your Go code:
import "github.com/docopt/docopt-go"
To install docopt according to your $GOPATH:
$ go get github.com/docopt/docopt-go
API
func Parse(doc string, argv []string, help bool, version string,
optionsFirst bool, exit ...bool) (map[string]interface{}, error)
Parse argv based on the command-line interface described in doc.
Given a conventional command-line help message, docopt creates a parser and
processes the arguments. See
https://github.com/docopt/docopt#help-message-format for a description of the
help message format. If argv is nil, os.Args[1:] is used.
docopt returns a map of option names to the values parsed from argv, and an
error or nil.
More documentation for docopt is available at GoDoc.org.
Testing
All tests from the Python version are implemented and passing at Travis CI. New language-agnostic tests have been added to test_golang.docopt.
To run tests for docopt-go, use go test.
