# Click With Aliasing









A powerful extension for [Click](https://click.palletsprojects.com/) that adds **command and group aliasing** support with **automatic async function handling** and **advanced parameter validation**.
## Features
- **Command Aliases**: Create multiple names for your commands
- **Group Aliases**: Add aliases to command groups
- **Enhanced Options & Arguments**: Mutual exclusivity, requirements, and group constraints
- **Validation Rules**: Group-level validation with multiple modes (all_or_none, at_least, at_most, exactly)
- **Automatic Async Support**: Seamlessly handle async functions without extra configuration
- **Drop-in Replacement**: Works exactly like standard Click decorators
- **Type Safe**: Full type hints support with proper IDE integration
- **Help Integration**: Aliases automatically appear in help text
## Documentation
- **[Command](docs/COMMAND.md)** - Command decorator with aliasing support
- **[Group](docs/GROUP.md)** - Group decorator for organizing commands
- **[Option](docs/OPTION.md)** - Enhanced options with mutual exclusivity and requirements
- **[Argument](docs/ARGUMENT.md)** - Enhanced arguments with validation constraints
- **[Rule](docs/RULE.md)** - Group-level validation rules for complex parameter logic
## Installation
```bash
pip install click-with-aliasing
```
**Requirements:** Python 3.10 or newer
## Quick Start
### Basic Command with Aliases
```python
from click_with_aliasing import command
@command(name="deploy", aliases=["d", "dep"])
def deploy():
"""Deploy the application"""
print("Deploying application...")
```
Now you can run any of these:
```bash
my-cli deploy
my-cli d
my-cli dep
```
### Group with Aliases
```python
from click_with_aliasing import group, command
@group(name="database", aliases=["db"])
def database():
"""Database management commands"""
pass
@command(name="migrate", aliases=["m"])
def migrate():
"""Run database migrations"""
print("Running migrations...")
database.add_command(migrate)
```
Usage:
```bash
my-cli database migrate # Full names
my-cli db m # Using aliases
my-cli database m # Mixed usage
```
### Enhanced Options with Validation
```python
from click_with_aliasing import command, option
@command(name="auth")
@option("--username", requires=["password"], mutually_exclusive=["token"])
@option("--password", requires=["username"], mutually_exclusive=["token"])
@option("--token", mutually_exclusive=["username", "password"])
def auth(username, password, token):
"""Authenticate with username/password or token"""
if token:
print("Authenticating with token")
elif username and password:
print(f"Authenticating as {username}")
```
Usage:
```bash
my-cli auth --token abc123 # Valid
my-cli auth --username admin --password secret # Valid
my-cli auth --username admin # Error: requires password
my-cli auth --token abc123 --username admin # Error: mutually exclusive
```
### Validation Rules
```python
from click_with_aliasing import command, option, rule
@command(name="deploy")
@option("--production", is_flag=True)
@option("--staging", is_flag=True)
@option("--development", is_flag=True)
@rule(["production", "staging", "development"], mode="exactly", count=1)
def deploy(production, staging, development):
"""Deploy to exactly one environment"""
env = "production" if production else "staging" if staging else "development"
print(f"Deploying to {env}")
```
Usage:
```bash
my-cli deploy --production # Valid
my-cli deploy --staging # Valid
my-cli deploy --production --staging # Error: exactly 1 required
my-cli deploy # Error: exactly 1 required
```
## Async Support
The library automatically detects and handles async functions, meaning no extra configuration is needed.
### Async Commands
```python
import asyncio
from click_with_aliasing import command
@command(name="fetch", aliases=["f"])
async def fetch():
"""Fetch data asynchronously"""
await asyncio.sleep(1)
print("Data fetched!")
```
### Async Groups
```python
import asyncio
from click_with_aliasing import group, command
@group(name="api", aliases=["a"])
async def api_group():
"""API management commands"""
await asyncio.sleep(0.1) # Simulate async setup
@command(name="start", aliases=["s"])
async def start_server():
"""Start the API server"""
print("Starting server...")
api_group.add_command(start_server)
```
## Key Concepts
### Command & Group Aliases
Add multiple names to commands and groups for convenience:
```python
@command(name="deploy", aliases=["d", "dep"])
@group(name="database", aliases=["db", "d"])
```
### Option Validation
**Mutual Exclusivity**: Only one option from a set can be used
```python
@option("--json", mutually_exclusive=["xml", "yaml"])
```
**Requirements**: Options that must be used together
```python
@option("--username", requires=["password"])
```
**Group Constraints**: Organize options and apply constraints collectively
```python
@option("--json", group="format", group_mutually_exclusive=["output"])
```
### Validation Rules
Apply group-level validation with different modes:
- **all_or_none**: All parameters or none
- **at_least**: Minimum number required
- **at_most**: Maximum number allowed
- **exactly**: Exact number required
```python
@rule(["host", "port", "database"], mode="all_or_none")
@rule(["email", "sms", "slack"], mode="at_least", count=1)
@rule(["json", "xml", "yaml"], mode="at_most", count=1)
@rule(["file1", "file2", "file3"], mode="exactly", count=2)
```
## Migration from Click
Migrating from standard Click is straightforward - just change your imports:
### Before (Standard Click)
```python
import click
@click.group()
def cli():
pass
@click.command()
@click.option("--name", default="World")
@click.argument("file")
def greet(name, file):
pass
```
### After (Click with Aliasing)
```python
from click_with_aliasing import group, command, option, argument
@group(aliases=["c"])
def cli():
pass
@command(name="greet", aliases=["g"])
@option("--name", default="World", mutually_exclusive=["file"])
@argument("file", required=False, mutually_exclusive=["name"])
def greet(name, file):
pass
```
All standard Click features work exactly the same, with optional enhancements available.
## Help Text Integration
Aliases automatically appear in help text:
```txt
myapp database --help
Usage: myapp database [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...
Database management commands
Options:
--help Show this message and exit.
Commands:
migrate (m, mig) Run database migrations
seed (s) Seed the database
```
