## Generating Zsh Completion For Your cobra.Command
|
|
|
|
Please refer to [Shell Completions](shell_completions.md) for details.
|
|
|
|
## Zsh completions standardization
|
|
|
|
Cobra 1.1 standardized its zsh completion support to align it with its other shell completions. Although the API was kept backwards-compatible, some small changes in behavior were introduced.
|
|
|
|
### Deprecation summary
|
|
|
|
See further below for more details on these deprecations.
|
|
|
|
* `cmd.MarkZshCompPositionalArgumentFile(pos, []string{})` is no longer needed. It is therefore **deprecated** and silently ignored.
|
|
* `cmd.MarkZshCompPositionalArgumentFile(pos, glob[])` is **deprecated** and silently ignored.
|
|
* Instead use `ValidArgsFunction` with `ShellCompDirectiveFilterFileExt`.
|
|
* `cmd.MarkZshCompPositionalArgumentWords()` is **deprecated** and silently ignored.
|
|
* Instead use `ValidArgsFunction`.
|
|

### Behavioral changes
|
|
|
|
**Noun completion**
|
|
|Old behavior|New behavior|
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
|No file completion by default (opposite of bash)|File completion by default; use `ValidArgsFunction` with `ShellCompDirectiveNoFileComp` to turn off file completion on a per-argument basis|
|
|
|Completion of flag names without the `-` prefix having been typed|Flag names are only completed if the user has typed the first `-`|
|
|
`cmd.MarkZshCompPositionalArgumentFile(pos, []string{})` used to turn on file completion on a per-argument position basis|File completion for all arguments by default; `cmd.MarkZshCompPositionalArgumentFile()` is **deprecated** and silently ignored|
|
|
|`cmd.MarkZshCompPositionalArgumentFile(pos, glob[])` used to turn on file completion **with glob filtering** on a per-argument position basis (zsh-specific)|`cmd.MarkZshCompPositionalArgumentFile()` is **deprecated** and silently ignored; use `ValidArgsFunction` with `ShellCompDirectiveFilterFileExt` for file **extension** filtering (not full glob filtering)|
|
|
|`cmd.MarkZshCompPositionalArgumentWords(pos, words[])` used to provide completion choices on a per-argument position basis (zsh-specific)|`cmd.MarkZshCompPositionalArgumentWords()` is **deprecated** and silently ignored; use `ValidArgsFunction` to achieve the same behavior|
|
|
|
|
**Flag-value completion**
|
|
|
|
|Old behavior|New behavior|
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
|No file completion by default (opposite of bash)|File completion by default; use `RegisterFlagCompletionFunc()` with `ShellCompDirectiveNoFileComp` to turn off file completion|
|
|
|`cmd.MarkFlagFilename(flag, []string{})` and similar used to turn on file completion|File completion by default; `cmd.MarkFlagFilename(flag, []string{})` no longer needed in this context and silently ignored|
|
|
|`cmd.MarkFlagFilename(flag, glob[])` used to turn on file completion **with glob filtering** (syntax of `[]string{"*.yaml", "*.yml"}` incompatible with bash)|Will continue to work, however, support for bash syntax is added and should be used instead so as to work for all shells (`[]string{"yaml", "yml"}`)|
|
|
|`cmd.MarkFlagDirname(flag)` only completes directories (zsh-specific)|Has been added for all shells|
|
|
|Completion of a flag name does not repeat, unless flag is of type `*Array` or `*Slice` (not supported by bash)|Retained for `zsh` and added to `fish`|
|
|
|Completion of a flag name does not provide the `=` form (unlike bash)|Retained for `zsh` and added to `fish`|
|
|
|
|
**Improvements**
|
|
|
|
* Custom completion support (`ValidArgsFunction` and `RegisterFlagCompletionFunc()`)
|
|
* File completion by default if no other completions found
|
|
* Handling of required flags
|
|
* File extension filtering no longer mutually exclusive with bash usage
|
|
* Completion of directory names *within* another directory
|
|
* Support for `=` form of flags
