Their example here confuse me:

[url-redacted]

`workspace` isn't a boolean flag. So it isn't clear from that example how - or even if - docli can work with more complex conditional arguments.

Is someone with any familiarity with this project able to advise how you'd handle that in docli?

[granra]

All the variables in in the `Commands` and `AllOtherCommands` are bools.

In Go you can do `a, b, c bool` and they'll all be of type bool.

Yeah I got that. My point is that ‘workspace’ isn’t a Boolean flag in terraform. It requires additional flags to function, eg

  terraform workspace new granra

‘workspace’ is effectively the CLI flags equivalent of a submenu.

[granra]

Oh I see. It looks like docli sets the flag as true if it was passed as a parameter to the program.

So you do:

var terraform Terraform

args.Bind(&terraform)

if terraform.Workspace {

  // do workspace stuff

}

I think.

EDIT: I don't know how hackernews formatting works :/

That seems really messy to be honest because you can’t then ensure flags are nested correctly.

I guess for simple purposes this is fine though.
