ActionCallback

ActionCallback completes values with given function. It is invoked after the arguments are parsed which enables contextual completion.

All DefaultActions are implicitly wrapped in an ActionCallback for performance.

carapace.ActionCallback(func(c carapace.Context) carapace.Action {
	if flag := actionCmd.Flag("values"); flag.Changed {
		return carapace.ActionMessage("values flag is set to: '%v'", flag.Value.String())
	}
	return carapace.ActionMessage("values flag is not set")
})
  • c.Value provides access to the current (partial) value of the flag or positional argument being completed
  • return ActionValues without arguments to silently skip completion
  • return ActionMessage to provide an error message (e.g. failure during invocation of an external command)
  • c.Args provides access to the positional arguments of the current subcommand (excluding the one currently being completed)
