# Flagger
Flagger is an arbitrary CLI flags parser, like argparse in Python.
2017-08-20 15:06:37 +05:00
Flagger is able to parse boolean, integer and string flags.

```
# Usage
2017-08-20 15:06:37 +05:00
Flagger requires logging interface to be passed on initialization.
See ``loggerinterface.go`` for required logging functions.
It is able to run with standart log package, in that case
initialize flagger like:
```
flgr = flagger.New(flagger.LoggerInterface(log.New(os.Stdout, "testing logger: ", log.Lshortfile)))
flgr.Initialize()

```
Adding a flag is easy, just fill ``Flag`` structure and pass to ``AddFlag()`` call:
```
flag_bool := Flag{
Name: "boolflag",
Description: "Boolean flag",
Type: "bool",
DefaultValue: true,
}
err := flgr.AddFlag(&flag_bool)
if err != nil {
...
}
```
After adding all neccessary flags you should issue ``Parse()`` call to get
them parsed:
```
flgr.Parse()
```
After parsed they can be obtained everywhere you want, like:
```
val, err := flgr.GetBoolValue("boolflag")
if err != nil {
...
}
```
For more examples take a look at ``flagger_test.go`` file or [at GoDoc](https://godoc.org/lab.pztrn.name/golibs/flagger).
