typer v0.3.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2020-06-24 // almost 4 years ago

- Add support for help parameter in CLI arguments:
  - As help in CLI arguments is not supported by Click, there are two new internal classes (Click sub-classes) to support it:
  - typer.core.TyperArgument
  - typer.core.TyperCommand
  - This includes a new auto-generated help text section Arguments for CLI arguments, showing defaults, required arguments, etc.
  - It's also possible to disable it and keep the previous behavior, not showing automatic help for CLI arguments (Click's default) using the hidden parameter.
  - Now show_default is True by default.
  - And now show_envvar is True by default.
  - So, default values and env vars are shown in the help text by default, without having to manually enable them, for both CLI arguments and CLI options.
  - New docs:
  - CLI Arguments Intro.
  - Optional CLI Arguments.
  - CLI Arguments with Default.
  - CLI Arguments with Help.
  - CLI Arguments with Environment Variables.
  - CLI Arguments: Other uses.
  - CLI arguments with tuples.
  - Lot's of tests for all the new examples in the new docs, keeping coverage at 100%.
  - PR #123.
- 📦 Add docs for calling packages with python -m some_package using __main__.py: Building a Package: Support python -m. PR #121.
- Add support for *args and **kwargs when calling the Typer app, just like in Click. PR #120 by @teymour-aldridge.
