How to pass options before a sub-command ?
See original GitHub issueHello,
Thanks a lot for the cliffy work, I just started using it but I already love the method chaining approach;
However I’d like to build a CLI in a way that doesn’t seem to be allowed by the framework
abcdctl -a localhost -p 8080 chain --from source --to destination --amount 69
My basic command abcd has several sub-commands (in this example chain
), but the server arguments (-a
for the addr & -p
for the port) are global to all sub-commands
Here is my try
let remote: Client;
await new Command()
.name("abctl")
.version("1.0.0")
.description("Interact with abcd")
.option("-a, --address <addr>", "HTTP endpoint", { default: "localhost" })
.option("-p, --port <port>", "HTTP port", { default: 8080 })
.action(async ({ address, port }: { address: string; port: number }) => {
remote = await new Client(address, port).co.catch(_ => Deno.exit(1));
await remote?.ping().then(console.dir);
})
.command("chain", new Command()
.description("Interact with blockchain")
.version("0.1.0")
.option("-f, --from <from:string>", "Source wallet")
.option("-t, --to <to:string>", "Destination wallet")
.option("-a, --amount <amount:number>", "Amount")
.action(async ({ from, to, amount } : {
from: string,
to: string,
amount: number
}) => {
const response = await remote.chainadd(from, to, amount);
console.dir(response);
Deno.exit(0)
})
)
.parse(Deno.args);
The problem is that when I execute the example I get an error stating that the “chain” command does not exist (and it offers me to try “chain” instead)
Is my objective reachable with this framework or I must change my approach ?
Thanks a lot

Hello @c4spar the arguments before the sub command are common and required by all sub commands, that’s why I’d rather see them before the sub command even if it is not a hard requirement
It’s now supported in v0.24.3 😉
