Overview

Package cmdutil provides reusable CLI helper functions for Cobra commands. Both the open-source CLI and private overlays import this package to avoid duplicating flag validation, time parsing, and UX helpers.

Constants

View Source
const MaxCommandSuggestions = 3

MaxCommandSuggestions keeps typo recovery concise even for products with a large command surface.

View Source
const OverridePriorityAnnotation = "dws.override-priority"

OverridePriorityAnnotation is the cobra.Command.Annotations key used to declare a command's merge-time override priority. Higher values win when same-named leaves collide during merge. Exported so overlays and helpers can reference the same key as the core merge logic without spelling drift.

View Source
const SourceAnnotation = "dws.source"

SourceAnnotation records where a command tree came from. Edition overlays use it to distinguish runtime-authored commands from helper fallbacks that happen to share the same top-level product name.

View Source
const SourceEnvelope = "envelope"

SourceEnvelope marks a command as authored by the runtime discovery envelope.

View Source
const SourcePlugin = "plugin"

SourcePlugin marks a command as an installed plugin extension. Plugin commands are part of the runtime CLI surface, not the embedded base Schema.

Functions

func ConfirmDelete

func ConfirmDelete(cmd *cobra.Command, resourceType, resourceName string) bool

ConfirmDelete asks for interactive confirmation before destructive operations. Returns true if --yes/-y flag is set or the user types "yes"/"y".

func DetectNumericTypeError

func DetectNumericTypeError(err error) (flagName, badValue string, ok bool)

DetectNumericTypeError checks if err is a Cobra/pflag numeric type validation error. Returns the flag name and the bad value if detected.

func FlagOrFallback

func FlagOrFallback(cmd *cobra.Command, primary string, aliases ...string) string

FlagOrFallback reads the primary flag; if empty, falls back through alias flags in order, returning the first non-empty value.

func FormatSubcommandSuggestionHint added in v1.0.60

func FormatSubcommandSuggestionHint(parent *cobra.Command, suggestions []string, fallback string) string

FormatSubcommandSuggestionHint renders bounded suggestions and always keeps the full-list recovery action visible in the same hint.

func GroupRunE

func GroupRunE(cmd *cobra.Command, args []string) error

GroupRunE is the reusable handler for navigation-only parent commands. It shows help without arguments and otherwise returns the same structured resolution contract used by pre-parse validation.

func HintSubCmd

func HintSubCmd(use, authoredHint string) *cobra.Command

HintSubCmd creates a hidden compatibility command for a reviewed wrong path. It keeps hint-only identity while returning the unified typed resolution.

func IsEnvelopeSourced added in v1.0.16

func IsEnvelopeSourced(cmd *cobra.Command) bool

IsEnvelopeSourced reports whether cmd was authored by the runtime discovery envelope.

func IsHintOnlyCommand added in v1.0.58

func IsHintOnlyCommand(cmd *cobra.Command) bool

IsHintOnlyCommand reports whether cmd is a hidden compatibility prompt that has no business execution of its own. Reviewed command-path fallbacks may supersede these nodes, but must still reject collisions with real commands.

func IsLeafCmd added in v1.0.16

func IsLeafCmd(cmd *cobra.Command) bool

IsLeafCmd reports whether cmd has no subcommands.

func IsPluginSourced added in v1.0.54

func IsPluginSourced(cmd *cobra.Command) bool

IsPluginSourced reports whether cmd came from an installed plugin.

func LevenshteinDist

func LevenshteinDist(a, b string) int

LevenshteinDist returns the edit distance between two strings.

func LevenshteinThreshold

func LevenshteinThreshold(nameLen int) int

LevenshteinThreshold returns the max edit distance allowed based on string length.

func MarkEnvelopeSource added in v1.0.16

func MarkEnvelopeSource(cmd *cobra.Command)

MarkEnvelopeSource stamps cmd with runtime discovery provenance.

func MarkPluginSource added in v1.0.54

func MarkPluginSource(cmd *cobra.Command)

MarkPluginSource stamps cmd with installed-plugin provenance.

func MergeHardcodedLeaves added in v1.0.16

func MergeHardcodedLeaves(dynamicRoot, hardcodedRoot *cobra.Command) *cobra.Command

MergeHardcodedLeaves grafts leaves from hardcodedRoot onto dynamicRoot when the same-named path does not already exist. Groups recurse. On leaf conflicts, the dynamic side wins by default because the runtime envelope is authoritative; hardcoded commands are retained as fallback for paths the envelope does not declare.

A hardcoded leaf or group can opt into replacement by carrying a strictly higher OverridePriority than the dynamic command at the same path.

MergeHardcodedLeaves mutates dynamicRoot in place and returns it. Grafted commands are detached from hardcodedRoot so Cobra parent pointers remain correct.

func MissingRequiredFlagsError added in v1.0.55

func MissingRequiredFlagsError(cmd *cobra.Command, names ...string) error

MissingRequiredFlagsError formats the unified "missing required flag(s)" error for the given flag names, or returns nil when none are missing. Use this when the caller has already determined which flags are missing (e.g. after alias/env fallback resolution).

func Morph added in v1.0.56

func Morph(name string) string

Morph normalizes a flag spelling to a table-free canonical form so that morphological variants collapse to one key: case is folded, '_', '.' and spaces are treated as '-', and camelCase boundaries become '-'. It is the single shared primitive used both at build time (when the parameter-alias generator intersects concept members with a command's real flags) and at runtime (when pflag's SetNormalizeFunc resolves an emitted name). Keeping one implementation is a hard invariant: if the two diverged, a name the generator believed reducible could fail to resolve at runtime, which is contract drift.

Morph is idempotent and stable on already-canonical names: Morph("limit") == "limit" and Morph("page-size") == "page-size", so applying it to a command's real flags never changes their identity.

func MustFlagOrFallback

func MustFlagOrFallback(cmd *cobra.Command, primary string, aliases ...string) (string, error)

MustFlagOrFallback works like FlagOrFallback but returns an error when all flags are empty.

func MustFlagWithHint

func MustFlagWithHint(cmd *cobra.Command, name, example string) (string, error)

MustFlagWithHint returns an error with an explicit usage example when the flag is empty.

func MustGetFlag

func MustGetFlag(cmd *cobra.Command, name string) string

MustGetFlag retrieves a string flag value, checking both local and inherited flags.

func NormalizeBoolLiteral added in v1.0.56

func NormalizeBoolLiteral(s string) (string, bool)

NormalizeBoolLiteral reduces model-friendly boolean spellings to the exact values accepted by an unambiguous --flag=true/false pflag token.

func OverridePriority added in v1.0.16

func OverridePriority(cmd *cobra.Command) int

OverridePriority returns the override priority annotation value on cmd, or 0 if the annotation is absent or malformed.

func ParseISOTimeToMillis

func ParseISOTimeToMillis(flagName, value string) (int64, error)

ParseISOTimeToMillis parses a time string into a millisecond Unix timestamp. Supports RFC3339, UTC Z, timezone-less, space-separated, date-only, and more. When the input lacks an explicit timezone, Asia/Shanghai is assumed.

func SetOverridePriority added in v1.0.16

func SetOverridePriority(cmd *cobra.Command, priority int)

SetOverridePriority stamps the override priority annotation on cmd. A positive value asks the merge layer to promote this command over a same-named leaf with a lower (or unset) priority.

func SuffixLooksLikeValue added in v1.0.27

func SuffixLooksLikeValue(suffix, typ, format string, enum []string) bool

SuffixLooksLikeValue decides whether a candidate suffix from a glued "--flagsuffix" token plausibly represents a value for a flag's declared type/format/enum. Shared by StickyHandler (PreParse) and SuggestFlagFix (unknown-flag recovery).

typ is a pflag value type string (e.g. "int", "bool", "string"); format is JSON Schema "format" when present (e.g. "date-time"); enum is the schema enum list when present.

func SuggestDescendantSubcommands added in v1.0.60

func SuggestDescendantSubcommands(parent *cobra.Command, candidate string) []string

SuggestDescendantSubcommands returns bounded relative paths for available descendants whose canonical name or alias exactly matches candidate. It is the reviewed deep-recovery mode used by hierarchical products such as Sheet, where a model may omit an intermediate group (`sheet read` instead of `sheet range read`). Fuzzy ranking remains a sibling concern so a large subtree cannot drown the user in speculative paths.

func SuggestSubcommands added in v1.0.60

func SuggestSubcommands(parent *cobra.Command, candidate string) []string

SuggestSubcommands returns at most MaxCommandSuggestions visible canonical child names, ranked by reviewed SuggestFor matches, prefix relevance, edit distance, length delta, and finally canonical name for deterministic ties. Aliases participate in scoring, but recovery always teaches the canonical command name.

func ValidateRequiredFlagWithAliases

func ValidateRequiredFlagWithAliases(cmd *cobra.Command, primary string, aliases ...string) error

ValidateRequiredFlagWithAliases checks that at least one of the primary flag or its aliases is non-empty.

func ValidateRequiredFlags

func ValidateRequiredFlags(cmd *cobra.Command, names ...string) error

ValidateRequiredFlags checks that all named string flags are non-empty. Returns a formatted error listing all missing flags, or nil.

func ValidateTimeRange

func ValidateTimeRange(startMs, endMs int64) error

ValidateTimeRange checks that endMs is strictly after startMs.

func VisibleFlagNames added in v1.0.27

func VisibleFlagNames(cmd *cobra.Command) []string

VisibleFlagNames returns sorted candidate flag names for cmd.Flags() using flagFixCandidate. Intended for agent-facing error recovery (available_flags).

Types

type CommandResolution added in v1.0.60

type CommandResolution struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

CommandResolution is the immutable typed projection of a command-token resolution failure. Its constructors normalize suggestions once so the human hint and machine-readable details cannot diverge.

func NewCommandResolution added in v1.0.60

func NewCommandResolution(parent *cobra.Command, input string, reason ResolutionReason, suggestions []string, authoredHint string) CommandResolution

NewCommandResolution builds a bounded command-resolution result. Callers may pass sibling suggestions from SuggestSubcommands or reviewed deep-path candidates; both are normalized to the same three-item contract.

func NewInputCommandResolution added in v1.0.60

func NewInputCommandResolution(parent *cobra.Command, input string, suggestions []string) CommandResolution

NewInputCommandResolution classifies input and builds its one normalized human/machine projection. It is the shared entry point for PreParse and direct group execution.

func (CommandResolution) Details added in v1.0.60

func (r CommandResolution) Details() map[string]any

Details returns a fresh machine-readable payload for the resolution. It always carries the exact bounded suggestions rendered in Hint.

func (CommandResolution) Err added in v1.0.60

func (r CommandResolution) Err() error

Err projects the resolution through the repository's structured validation error contract.

type FlagFixResult

type FlagFixResult struct {
	Suggestion   string
	AutoFixFlag  string
	AutoFixValue string
}

FlagFixResult holds the result of SuggestFlagFix analysis.

func SuggestFlagFix

func SuggestFlagFix(cmd *cobra.Command, flagErr error) FlagFixResult

SuggestFlagFix detects flag-value concatenation errors, common flag aliases, and Levenshtein-close typos.

type ResolutionReason added in v1.0.60

type ResolutionReason string

ResolutionReason is the stable machine-readable classification for a command-token resolution failure.

const (
	// ResolutionUnknownSubcommand reports a token that does not resolve to a
	// child command of the selected parent.
	ResolutionUnknownSubcommand ResolutionReason = "unknown_subcommand"
	// ResolutionUnknownShortcut reports an explicit +shortcut token that does
	// not resolve under a top-level service.
	ResolutionUnknownShortcut ResolutionReason = "unknown_shortcut"
)

func ClassifyCommandResolution added in v1.0.60

func ClassifyCommandResolution(parent *cobra.Command, input string) ResolutionReason

ClassifyCommandResolution returns the stable reason for an unresolved token. A leading '+' is shortcut syntax only for a top-level service that actually exposes +shortcut children, and only when it does not already name a real child or alias. Keeping this classification beside CommandResolution prevents PreParse and direct Cobra execution from producing different machine contracts for the same input.
