Potentially implementing argparse

[Denperidge]

So, I just accidentally reinvented the wheel, but also less fancy than this wheel. 😅

For a different project I am working on, I would want this package mixed with Python's argparse to allow CLI commands. So hence my following question: is there interest in implementing argparse/CLI support? If so, I will try to at least kickstart it by checking if some code from my repo can be re-used into this project. If not, I will see whether to keep my code as is and perhaps implement Python-Benedict!

Have a nice day!

@Denperidge it seems interesting! Could you show me an example of what would be possible to do with this feature?

[Denperidge]

Ofcourse! Sorry for the delay in response, here are two gifs which illustrate how it can be used/useful!

Example of usage:

It's not really clear to me, could you describe the feature a bit please?

[Denperidge]

Essentially, it could allow the package to support configuration through the command line. It could be implemented as a from_cli function! For example, instead of using { “username”: “Example” } with from_json,  users would be able to use script.py —username Example with from_cli, and get the exact same results!

Now I understand, cool! Thank you for the explanation!

Yes a from_cli method that catches CLI arguments would be perfect, want you work on a PR for this?

[Denperidge]

No problem, and sure thing! I’ll have a PR up and running in the next few days or weeks

Don't forget to add tests!

Excuse my wild incorrect estimation of when I could get around to this, but the PR is up! #311

Don't worry at all, thank you very much for contributing!
