cobra VS bubbletea

We can use the flag with --date or -date, Go already does the automatic check. We can make our entire boilerplate with this approach, but let's make it a little easier and use the Cobra CLI package.

In this tutorial, we'll walk through the process of creating a simple command-line tool similar to curl using Go and Cobra, a CLI library for Go.

I use https://github.com/spf13/cobra religiously for this kind of thing - it handles all the annoying corner cases of parsing flags, and also has an intuitive notion of subcommands (with basic usage/help text generated) for picking which task you want to run with positional arguments.

We recently chose cobra[1] to create a cli application. It comes with so many best practices already packaged like autocompletions, help texts etc. etc.

I looked at the docs: https://cobra.dev/ ... and there are only examples on how to add new flags.

For installing Cobra-CLI you can go to Cobraor run go install github.com/spf13/cobra-cli@latest in the terminal.

In my build phase, I compile the source to create a k3sup binary and I also run the binary to generate shell script completions. Give kudos to this functionality which comes from spf13/cobra Go library for CLIs.

NWA is a command-line tool built on cobra. Here's an overview of NWA's commands:

I recommend looking at the charm libraries. Lip gloss https://github.com/charmbracelet/lipgloss can provide the styling and bubble tea can handle the screen updates and framework https://github.com/charmbracelet/bubbletea there is a premade progress bar component in bubbles library. https://github.com/charmbracelet/bubbles

I built a TUI app to find anime scenes by image to learn the TUI framework [Bubbletea](https://github.com/charmbracelet/bubbletea)

TUI’s are awesome; I’ve used this library to build them in the past: https://github.com/charmbracelet/bubbletea

For a sufficiently-complex system, a CLI client just isn’t as powerful as a live “console”. A TUI can play the part and you don’t have to venture into the web SPA world.

If you want to build terminal app, I highly recommend the bubbletea library: https://github.com/charmbracelet/bubbletea

You can view your snippets in a human-friendly web UI that syntax-highlights the code and even renders markdown. In addition to the Web UI, the TUI (powered by bubbletea) has a file browser, code viewer and attribute editor.

A sibling comment points at https://github.com/charmbracelet/bubbletea as a Go alternative with a similar architecture

The closest thing in Go I know about is bubbletea:
