Interactive Switches

When no default option is specified for a switch command, commands_cli presents a beautiful interactive menu to choose from.

Defining an Interactive Switch​

To create an interactive switch, simply define a switch without a default option.

# commands.yaml

deploy: ## Deploy application
  switch:
    - staging: ## Deploy to staging
      script: ./deploy.sh staging
    - production: ## Deploy to production
      script: ./deploy.sh production

Running an Interactive Switch​

If you run deploy without any arguments, you will see the interactive picker:

$ deploy

Select an option for deploy:

    1. staging - Deploy to staging
    2. production - Deploy to production

Press number (1-2) or press Esc to cancel:

You can still run the command with an argument as usual:

$ deploy staging
