# Command Line Arguments
# Command-line arguments
The config package supports command-line argument parsing with flexible formats and automatic type conversion.
`LoadCLI` accepts `--server.port=9000`, `--server.port 9000`, and bare boolean flags
such as `--debug`. Arguments after `--` are positional and are not parsed. Other
positional arguments are ignored. There is no short-flag parser; use Go's flag package
when that interface is needed. Paths must obey registration's dot-separated key syntax.
## Argument Formats
Values remain strings and are validated against registered types before publication.
Each successful call replaces the complete CLI source, including an empty argument
list. Omitted flags lose their previous overrides. Unknown paths are recorded in
`UnknownCLIKeys` in sorted order and are not registered. The returned list is a copy.
### Key-Value Pairs
`GenerateFlags` creates a flag.FlagSet from defaults. `BindFlags` atomically replaces
the CLI source with explicitly visited flags, rejects unregistered flags, and uses
the same checked conversions. Repeated flags resolve to the last value. Invalid
values leave the prior CLI source and unknown-key list intact.
```bash
# Space-separated
./myapp --server.port 8080 --database.url "postgres://localhost/db"
# Equals-separated
./myapp --server.port=8080 --database.url=postgres://localhost/db
# Mixed formats
./myapp --server.port 8080 --debug=true
```
### Boolean Flags
```bash
# Boolean flags don't require a value (assumed true)
./myapp --debug --verbose
# Explicit boolean values
./myapp --debug=true --verbose=false
```
### Nested Paths
Use dot notation for nested configuration:
```bash
./myapp --server.host=0.0.0.0 --server.port=9090 --server.tls.enabled=true
```
## Type Conversion
Command-line values are automatically converted to match registered types:
```go
type Config struct {
Port int64 `toml:"port"`
Timeout time.Duration `toml:"timeout"`
Ratio float64 `toml:"ratio"`
Enabled bool `toml:"enabled"`
Tags []string `toml:"tags"`
}
// All these are parsed correctly:
// --port=8080 → int64(8080)
// --timeout=30s → time.Duration(30 * time.Second)
// --ratio=0.95 → float64(0.95)
// --enabled=true → bool(true)
// --tags=prod,stable → []string{"prod", "stable"}
```
## Integration with flag Package
### Generate flag.FlagSet
```go
// Generate flags from registered configuration
fs := cfg.GenerateFlags()
// Parse command line
if err := fs.Parse(os.Args[1:]); err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
// Apply parsed flags to configuration
if err := cfg.BindFlags(fs); err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
```
### Custom Flag Registration
```go
fs := flag.NewFlagSet("myapp", flag.ContinueOnError)
// Add custom flags
verbose := fs.Bool("v", false, "verbose output")
configFile := fs.String("config", "config.toml", "config file path")
// Parse
fs.Parse(os.Args[1:])
// Use custom flags
if *verbose {
log.SetLevel(log.DebugLevel)
}
// Load config with custom file path
cfg, _ := config.NewBuilder().
WithFile(*configFile).
Build()
// Bind remaining flags
cfg.BindFlags(fs)
```
## Precedence and Overrides
Command-line arguments have the highest precedence by default:
```go
// Default precedence: CLI > Env > File > Default
cfg, _ := config.Quick(defaults, "APP_", "config.toml")
// Even if config.toml sets port=8080 and APP_PORT=9090,
// --port=7070 will win
```
Change precedence if needed:
```go
cfg, _ := config.NewBuilder().
WithSources(
config.SourceEnv, // Env highest
config.SourceCLI, // Then CLI
config.SourceFile, // Then file
config.SourceDefault, // Finally defaults
).
Build()
```
## Argument Parsing Details
### Validation
- Paths must use valid identifiers (letters, numbers, underscore, dash)
- No leading/trailing dots in paths
- Empty segments not allowed (no `..` in paths)
### Special Cases
```bash
# Double dash stops flag parsing
./myapp --port=8080 -- --not-a-flag
# Single dash flags are ignored (not GNU-style)
./myapp -p 8080 # Ignored, use --port
# Quoted values preserve spaces
./myapp --message="Hello World" --name='John Doe'
# Escape quotes in values
./myapp --json="{\"key\": \"value\"}"
```
### Value Parsing Rules
1. **Booleans**: `true`, `false` (case-sensitive)
2. **Numbers**: Standard decimal notation
3. **Strings**: Quoted or unquoted (quotes removed if present)
4. **Lists**: Comma-separated (when target type is slice)
## Override Arguments
```go
// Parse custom arguments instead of os.Args
customArgs := []string{"--debug", "--port=9090"}
cfg, _ := config.NewBuilder().
WithArgs(customArgs).
Build()
```
## Error Handling
CLI parsing errors are returned from `Build()` or `LoadCLI()`:
```go
cfg, err := config.NewBuilder().
WithDefaults(&Config{}).
Build()
if err != nil {
switch {
case errors.Is(err, config.ErrCLIParse):
log.Fatal("Invalid command line arguments:", err)
default:
log.Fatal("Configuration error:", err)
}
}
```
The Builder reads os.Args by default. Use `WithArgs(nil)` to disable CLI loading for
that build or supply an explicit argument slice for deterministic initialization.
