click is the Command line interface creation kit and it helps you to create command line interfaces with some few lines of code. Click comes with meaningful defauls to make starting with it as easy as possible.
A powerful feature of click is to develop custom types to convert and/or validate user input. There are several custom types in the wild but this repository is intended to collect such custom types to make it easily accessable.
Currently we support two ways of installing click-types on your system. We will both illustrate short in the following sections.
We release all versions on pypi.org, so you can simply use pip to install it.
pip install click-typesAlternatively you can install it from a local clone of our github repository.
$ git clone https://github.com/codeaffen/click-types.git
