## What is Click Extra?
It should be easy to write a good CLI in Python. [Click](https://click.palletsprojects.com) makes it so. But there is still hundrends of tweaks to implement by yourself to have a user-friendly CLI.
Click Extra is a **ready-to-use wrapper around Click** to make your CLI look good and behave well. It is a drop-in replacement with good defaults that saves lots of boilerplate code and frustration by making all parts working together.
It also comes with [workarounds and patches](https://kdeldycke.github.io/click-extra/issues.html) that have not reached upstream yet (or are unlikely to).
## Example
It transforms this vanilla `click` CLI:
Into this:
To undestrand how we ended up with the result above, [go read the tutorial](https://kdeldycke.github.io/click-extra/tutorial.html).
## Features
- [Configuration file](https://kdeldycke.github.io/click-extra/config.html) loader for:
- `TOML`
- `YAML`
- `JSON`
- `INI`, with extended interpolation, multi-level sections and non-native types (`list`, `set`, …)
- `XML`
- Automatic inference of the configuration file structure from your CLI's options
- Remote loading of [configuration files from URLs](https://kdeldycke.github.io/click-extra/config.html#remote-url)
- Optional [strict validation](https://kdeldycke.github.io/click-extra/config.html#strictness) of configuration
- Respect the [default application path](https://kdeldycke.github.io/click-extra/config.html#default-folder) on each platform (XDG spec on Linux)
- [Glob search patterns](https://kdeldycke.github.io/click-extra/config.html#pattern-matching) for configuration files
- Respect of `CLI` > `Configuration` > `Environment` > `Defaults` [precedence](https://kdeldycke.github.io/click-extra/config.html#precedence)
- Normalization and discoverability of environment variables
- [`--show-params` option](https://kdeldycke.github.io/click-extra/parameters.html#show-params-option) to debug parameters defaults, values, environment variables and provenance
- [Click parameters introspection](https://kdeldycke.github.io/click-extra/parameters.html#introspecting-parameters)
- [Colorization of help screens](https://kdeldycke.github.io/click-extra/colorize.html) at the semantic-level of options, parameters, subheadings, choices, metavars and defaults
- Global `show_envvar` option to display all environment variables in help screens
- `-h`/`--help` option names (see [rant on other inconsistencies](https://blog.craftyguy.net/cmdline-help/))
- `--color`/`--no-color` option flag
- `--telemetry`/`--no-telemetry` flag to opt-in/out of tracking code
- Recognize traditional environment variable conventions:
- `NO_COLOR` from [`no-color.org`](https://no-color.org)
- `DO_NOT_TRACK` from [`consoledonottrack.com`](https://consoledonottrack.com)
- Colored `--version` option
- [Colored `--verbosity` option and logs](https://kdeldycke.github.io/click-extra/logging.html)
- `--time`/`--no-time` flag to measure duration of command execution
- Global `show_choices` to activate selection of choices on user input prompts
- [`.. click:example::` and `.. click:run::` Sphinx directives](https://kdeldycke.github.io/click-extra/sphinx.html) to document CLI source code and their execution
- [Inline testing of CLI examples](https://kdeldycke.github.io/click-extra/sphinx.html#inline-tests) in documentation
- [ANSI-capable Pygments lexers](https://kdeldycke.github.io/click-extra/pygments.html#lexers) for shell session and console output
- [Fixes 50+ bugs](https://kdeldycke.github.io/click-extra/issues.html) from other Click-related projects
- Rely on [Cloup](https://github.com/janluke/cloup) to add:
- option groups
- constraints
- subcommands sections
- aliases
- command suggestion (`Did you mean <subcommand>?`)
## Used in

## Development
[Development guidelines](https://kdeldycke.github.io/meta-package-manager/development.html)
are the same as
[parent project `mpm`](https://github.com/kdeldycke/meta-package-manager), from
which `click-extra` originated.
