together

Build CLIs which click together using pluggy.

WARNING: Experimental. This module is an initial proof of concept and may change significantly.

Usage

Define a TogetherCLI by registering plugins which register either click.Group or click.Command objects. Then, build and invoke the CLI. See examples/ for complete examples of standalone and multi-package usage.

Minimal Usage

Possibly the smallest usage example possible defines a single command with a single subcommand in one file. Each plugin is implemented as a class (though implementing plugins as modules is also supported).

# in mycli.py
import together


class BasePlugin:
    @together.hook
    def together_root_command(self, config):
        @click.group("mycli")
        def mycli():
            pass

        return mycli


class FooPlugin:
    @together.hook
    def together_subcommand(self, config):
        @click.command("foo")
        def foo():
            click.echo("running foo")

        return foo


class MyCLI(together.TogetherCLI):
    # customize plugin loading to specify these plugins
    def register_plugins(self):
        self.plugin_manager.register(BasePlugin())
        self.plugin_manager.register(FooPlugin())


# build the CLI
runme = MyCLI()
# run it
runme()

This would allow usage like python mycli.py foo.

Changing Plugin Loading

By default, plugins are loaded by looking up the together setuptools entrypoint. To define custom plugin loading, override the TogetherCLI.register_plugins method in a subclass.

For example, you could load a mix of explicit plugins and setuptools entrypoints with a custom name like so:

import mypackage.plugins

class MyCLI(together.TogetherCLI):
    def register_plugins(self):
        # self.plugin_manager is a pluggy.PluginManager instance
        self.plugin_manager.register(mypackage.plugins.Foo)
        self.plugin_manager.register(mypackage.plugins.Bar)
        self.plugin_manager.load_setuptools_entrypoints("mypackage")

Using CommandState

together automatically defines a class, together.CommandState which implements stateful tracking of option data as it is parsed. This allows the value which was passed to a parent command or the root command to be recorded on the click context and accessed by child command callbacks.

For example, if you wish to support arguments like --format=[json|text] in your commands, and allow usage like mycli --format=json foo to be valid, you need to save and retrieve that option. CommandState implements this logic and is automatically registered as the context object for commands.

To implement such an option, define a click decorator which uses a callback to get the state object and use it for storage. You can also write an easy getter function to get back the stored value. Like so:

import click
from together import get_state

def format_option(f):
    def callback(ctx, param, value):
        state = get_state()
        state.set("format", value)
    return click.option(
        "--format", type=click.Choice(["json", "text"]), callback=callback
    )(f)


def get_format():
    return get_state().get("format")

NOTE: get_state() requires that there is an active Click Context it therefore can only normally execute inside of running Click commands

Using CommandState to access Config

The configuration object produced by your together_configure hooks is attached to the CommandState for easy access. All you need to do is get the state object and look at its config attribute:

def was_configured_to_foobar():
    state = get_state()
    return state.config.get("foobar") is True

Plugin Order and Execution

Several rules govern how plugins execute and their ordering.

  1. Plugins are pluggy plugins and hooks execute in LIFO order
  2. together reverses the order of the resulting registrations to produce FIFO ordering
  3. Only the last plugin to register a root command will execute. You should only register one root command.

For the most part, this will make the plugin subcommand registration operate in FIFO order.

CHANGELOG

0.5.2

  • Fix packaging bug

0.5.1

  • Convert from poetry to simple setup.cfg data

0.5.0

  • Add the together_exception_handler hook for registering exception handlers which can be matched against errors when invoking the CLI app

  • Exception handlers combine exception matching functions (predicates), exception handling callbacks, and optional priority levels (to ensure early or late matching)

  • Predicates may be boolean functions or exception classes, which will be checked with isinstance

  • You can (and should) now invoke a TogetherCLI by calling it, not relying upon the build() function output

0.4.0

  • Add the CommandState object supporting arbitrary storage (in an inner dict) and the get_state helper

  • Add verbose_option and get_verbosity built on the CommandState object

This can be used to implement the common pattern of defining a single central object which is pulled off of the click context to record options which might be valid at multiple levels of a command heirarchy.

0.3.1

  • Bugfix: incorrectly unpacking subcommand lists

0.3.0

  • Replace together_subcommand_collection with support in the together_subcommand hook for lists of subcommands

0.2.1

  • Allow hooks to return command registration info without explicitly wrapping it in a registration object

0.2.0

  • Change hook names and support config

0.1.0

  • Initial release
