Examples

Using dataclass decorator

>>> from argparse_dataclass import dataclass
>>> @dataclass
... class Options:
...     x: int = 42
...     y: bool = False
...
>>> print(Options.parse_args(['--y']))
Options(x=42, y=True)

A simple parser with flags:

>>> from dataclasses import dataclass
>>> from argparse_dataclass import ArgumentParser
>>> @dataclass
... class Options:
...     verbose: bool
...     other_flag: bool
...
>>> parser = ArgumentParser(Options)
>>> print(parser.parse_args([]))
Options(verbose=False, other_flag=False)
>>> print(parser.parse_args(["--verbose", "--other-flag"]))
Options(verbose=True, other_flag=True)

Using defaults:

>>> from dataclasses import dataclass, field
>>> from argparse_dataclass import ArgumentParser
>>> @dataclass
... class Options:
...     x: int = 1
...     y: int = field(default=2)
...     z: float = field(default_factory=lambda: 3.14)
...
>>> parser = ArgumentParser(Options)
>>> print(parser.parse_args([]))
Options(x=1, y=2, z=3.14)

Enabling choices for an option:

>>> from dataclasses import dataclass, field
>>> from argparse_dataclass import ArgumentParser
>>> @dataclass
... class Options:
...     small_integer: int = field(metadata=dict(choices=[1, 2, 3]))
...
>>> parser = ArgumentParser(Options)
>>> print(parser.parse_args(["--small-integer", "3"]))
Options(small_integer=3)

Using different flag names and positional arguments:

>> parser = ArgumentParser(Options) >>> print(parser.parse_args(["-x", "0", "positional"])) Options(x=0, positional='positional') >>> print(parser.parse_args(["--long-name", 0, "positional"])) Options(x=0, positional='positional') ">
>>> from dataclasses import dataclass, field
>>> from argparse_dataclass import ArgumentParser
>>> @dataclass
... class Options:
...     x: int = field(metadata=dict(args=["-x", "--long-name"]))
...     positional: str = field(metadata=dict(args=["positional"]))
...
>>> parser = ArgumentParser(Options)
>>> print(parser.parse_args(["-x", "0", "positional"]))
Options(x=0, positional='positional')
>>> print(parser.parse_args(["--long-name", 0, "positional"]))
Options(x=0, positional='positional')

Using a custom type converter:

>>> from dataclasses import dataclass, field
>>> from argparse_dataclass import ArgumentParser
>>> @dataclass
... class Options:
...     name: str = field(metadata=dict(type=str.title))
...
>>> parser = ArgumentParser(Options)
>>> print(parser.parse_args(["--name", "john doe"]))
Options(name='John Doe')
