Use static typing to define the CLI for your [Django](https://www.djangoproject.com/) management commands with [Typer](https://typer.tiangolo.com/). Optionally use the provided [TyperCommand](https://django-typer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/reference.html#django_typer.TyperCommand) class that inherits from [BaseCommand](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/stable/howto/custom-management-commands/#django.core.management.BaseCommand). This class maps the [Typer](https://typer.tiangolo.com/) interface onto a class based interface that Django developers will be familiar with. All of the [BaseCommand](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/stable/howto/custom-management-commands/#django.core.management.BaseCommand) functionality is preserved, so that [TyperCommand](https://django-typer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/reference.html#django_typer.TyperCommand) can be a drop in replacement.

**django-typer makes it easy to:**

* Define your command CLI interface in a clear, DRY and safe way using type hints
* Create subcommands and hierarchical groups of commands.
* Use the full power of [Typer](https://typer.tiangolo.com/)'s parameter types to validate and parse command line inputs.
* Create beautiful and information dense help outputs.
* Configure the rendering of exception stack traces using [rich](https://rich.readthedocs.io/en/latest/).
* [Install shell tab-completion support](https://django-typer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/shell_completion.html) for [bash](https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/), [zsh](https://www.zsh.org/), [fish](https://fishshell.com/), and [powershell](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/overview).
* [Create custom and portable shell tab-completions for your CLI parameters.](https://django-typer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/shell_completion.html#defining-custom-completions)
* Port existing commands ([TyperCommand](https://django-typer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/reference.html#django_typer.TyperCommand) is interface compatible with [BaseCommand](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/stable/howto/custom-management-commands/#django.core.management.BaseCommand)).
* Use either a Django-style class-based interface or the Typer-style interface to define commands.
* Add plugins to upstream commands.

Please refer to the [full documentation](https://django-typer.readthedocs.io/) for more information.

## 🚨 Deprecation Notice

**Imports from ``django_typer`` have been deprecated and will be removed in 3.0! Imports have moved to ``django_typer.management``:**

```python
# old way
from django_typer import TyperCommand, command, group, initialize, Typer

# new way!
from django_typer.management import TyperCommand, command, group, initialize, Typer
```

## Installation

1. Clone django-typer from GitHub or install a release off [PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/django-typer/):

```bash
pip install django-typer
```

[rich](https://rich.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) is a powerful library for rich text and beautiful formatting in the terminal. It is not required but highly recommended for the best experience:

```bash
pip install "django-typer[rich]"
```

2. Optionally add `django_typer` to your `INSTALLED_APPS` setting:

```python
INSTALLED_APPS = [
...
'django_typer',
]
```

*You only need to install django_typer as an app if you want to use the shell completion command to enable tab-completion or if you would like django-typer to install [rich traceback rendering](https://django-typer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/howto.html#configure-rich-stack-traces) for you - which it does by default if rich is also installed.*

## Basic Example

[TyperCommand](https://django-typer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/reference.html#django_typer.TyperCommand) is a very simple drop in replacement for [BaseCommand](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/stable/howto/custom-management-commands/#django.core.management.BaseCommand). All of the documented features of [BaseCommand](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/stable/howto/custom-management-commands/#django.core.management.BaseCommand) work the same way!

```python
from django_typer.management import TyperCommand

class Command(TyperCommand):
def handle(self, arg1: str, arg2: str, arg3: float = 0.5, arg4: int = 1):
"""
A basic command that uses Typer
"""
```

Or, you may also use an interface identical to [Typer](https://typer.tiangolo.com/)'s. Simply import [Typer](https://typer.tiangolo.com/) from django_typer instead of typer.

```python
from django_typer.management import Typer

app = Typer()

@app.command()
def main(arg1: str, arg2: str, arg3: float = 0.5, arg4: int = 1):
"""
A basic command that uses Typer
"""
```

## Multiple Subcommands Example

Commands with multiple subcommands can be defined:

```python
import typing as t

from django.utils.translation import gettext_lazy as _
from typer import Argument

from django_typer.management import TyperCommand, command

class Command(TyperCommand):
"""
A command that defines subcommands.
"""

@command()
def create(
self,
name: t.Annotated[str, Argument(help=_("The name of the object to create."))],
):
"""
Create an object.
"""

@command()
def delete(
self, id: t.Annotated[int, Argument(help=_("The id of the object to delete."))]
):
"""
Delete an object.
"""

```

Or using the typer-style interface this could be written:

```python
from django_typer.management import Typer
import typing as t

from django.utils.translation import gettext_lazy as _
from typer import Argument

app = Typer(help="A command that defines subcommands.")

@app.command()
def create(
name: t.Annotated[str, Argument(help=_("The name of the object to create."))],
):
"""
Create an object.
"""

@app.command()
def delete(
id: t.Annotated[int, Argument(help=_("The id of the object to delete."))]
):
"""
Delete an object.
"""
```

## Grouping and Hierarchies Example

More complex groups and subcommand hierarchies can be defined. For example, this command defines a group of commands called math, with subcommands divide and multiply. The group has a common initializer that optionally sets a float precision value. We would invoke this command like so:

```bash
./manage.py hierarchy math --precision 5 divide 10 2.1
./manage.py hierarchy math multiply 10 2
```

Using the class-based interface we could define the command like this:

```python
import typing as t
from functools import reduce

from django.utils.translation import gettext_lazy as _
from typer import Argument, Option

from django_typer.management import TyperCommand, group

class Command(TyperCommand):

help = _("A more complex command that defines a hierarchy of subcommands.")

precision = 2

@group(help=_("Do some math at the given precision."))
def math(
self,
precision: t.Annotated[
int, Option(help=_("The number of decimal places to output."))
] = precision,
):
self.precision = precision

# helps can be passed to the decorators
@math.command(help=_("Multiply the given numbers."))
def multiply(
self,
numbers: t.Annotated[
t.List[float], Argument(help=_("The numbers to multiply"))
],
):
return f"{reduce(lambda x, y: x * y, [1, *numbers]):.{self.precision}f}"

# or if no help is supplied to the decorators, the docstring if present
# will be used!
@math.command()
def divide(
self,
numerator: t.Annotated[float, Argument(help=_("The numerator"))],
denominator: t.Annotated[float, Argument(help=_("The denominator"))],
floor: t.Annotated[bool, Option(help=_("Use floor division"))] = False,
):
"""
Divide the given numbers.
"""
if floor:
return str(numerator // denominator)
return f"{numerator / denominator:.{self.precision}f}"

```

The typer-style interface builds a [TyperCommand](https://django-typer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/reference.html#django_typer.TyperCommand) class for us **that allows you to optionally accept the self argument in your commands.** We could define the above command using the typer interface like this:

```python

import typing as t
from functools import reduce

from django.utils.translation import gettext_lazy as _
from typer import Argument, Option

from django_typer.management import Typer

app = Typer(help=_("A more complex command that defines a hierarchy of subcommands."))

math_grp = Typer(help=_("Do some math at the given precision."))

app.add_typer(math_grp)

@math_grp.callback()
def math(
self,
precision: t.Annotated[
int, Option(help=_("The number of decimal places to output."))
] = 2,
):
self.precision = precision

@math_grp.command(help=_("Multiply the given numbers."))
def multiply(
self,
numbers: t.Annotated[
t.List[float], Argument(help=_("The numbers to multiply"))
],
):
return f"{reduce(lambda x, y: x * y, [1, *numbers]):.{self.precision}f}"

@math_grp.command()
def divide(
self,
numerator: t.Annotated[float, Argument(help=_("The numerator"))],
denominator: t.Annotated[float, Argument(help=_("The denominator"))],
floor: t.Annotated[bool, Option(help=_("Use floor division"))] = False,
):
"""
Divide the given numbers.
"""
if floor:
return str(numerator // denominator)
return f"{numerator / denominator:.{self.precision}f}"
```
