Using tabwriter to improve on cobra’s help information
2020-02-27
If you’ve been following the blog, you know that I’m a fan of cobra as a CLI library. Let me share how I use tabwriter to compliment cobra’s autogenerated help information. For reference, you can check this post as well. The following code is a copy (not an exact copy) of one of the tools that I use at work. It will look something like this. Trigger a manual run, among other tools. Format for the –input flag: payer:<id>[/link1,link2,…] run manual calculation at payer level, optional link acct list is for log filtering msp:<id> run manual calculation at MSP level link:<id> run manual calculation at link acct level detectri:<msp|payer>[:id] run RI detection manually detectsp:<msp|payer>[:id] run SavingsPlan detection manually curlinks:<msp|payer>[:id] detect actual customers from CUR, can use –detect-moved-payer flag fees:<id> detect fees for the input link id detecttags:<id> detect tags for the input payer id Notes: When triggering CUR (using trigger: input), it's recommended to use the –use-sns flag. Usage: linkbatchd manualrun [flags] Flags: –input string see subcommand description for more details –date string date to trigger in UTC, fmt: yyyy-mm-dd, yyyy-mm-dd,yyyy-mm-dd for date range (from,to) –invoice-type string type of invoice to calculate: 'account' or 'cross_tag', used in trigger: input
