In clap
, there are two options for positional args which I found quite useful, they are allow_hyphen_values
and trailing_var_arg
. Which make it easy to parse arguments that are not per-configured.
Why
Let's say I'm writing a GUI wrapper to another program that has many CLI options, and I want the user to start my program with the same options of that other program (i.e. cargo
).
So if the user run my-program build --vcs none --lib --edition 2024 -v hello_world
, I want the parser to collect all arguments after build
without me redefine all those same options.
In clap
, I can use something like this:
enum Subcommands {
Build {
#[arg(
trailing_var_arg = true,
allow_hyphen_values = true,
value_name = "ARGS"
)]
extra_args: Vec<String>,
}
}
But I don't know if its possible to do the same thing using the cli
plugin
