Click support for Python's datetime types to allow developers to easy parse
date strings as parameters to Python click CLIs.
You can accept a datetime as a parameter to your click CLI
from datetime import datetime
import click
from click_datetime import Datetime
@click.option(
"--date",
type=Datetime(format="%Y-%m-%d"),
default=datetime.now(),
help="An example parsing and printing a datetime.",
)
@click.command()
def cli(date: datetime):
click.echo("The date : {0}".format(date))
if __name__ == "__main__":
cli() # type: ignore$ python main.py --date=2016-01-01pip install click-datetimepoetry build# Create a virtual environment for testing
python -m .venv/test
source .venv/test/bin/activate
# Confirm importing and exporting is correct
python -c 'import click_datetime as cd; print(dir(cd))'- Dawson Reid (@ddaws)
