How to use nested subcommands

[borud]

Let's say I have multiple nested commands and I want to do things like

myprog user add -u foo

I made this structure

type UserCommand struct {
	Add struct {
		Username string `short:"u" long:"user" description:"Username"`
		Fullname string `short:"n" long:"fullname" description:"Full name"`
		Email    string `short:"e" long:"email" description:"Email address"`
		Phone    string `short:"p" long:"phone" description:"Phone number"`
	} `command:"add" description:"Add a new user"`

	Get struct {
		Username string `short:"u" long:"user" description:"Username"`
	} `command:"get" description:"Get a user"`

	Delete struct {
		Username string `short:"u" long:"user" description:"Username"`
	} `command:"delete" description:"Delete user"`
}

Before adding subcommands the user command would call

func (r *UserCommand) Execute(args []string) error {...}

What gets called when I use subcommands? I am a bit confused.

If you create a separate type for your subcommands, then everything should work fine.

Try something along the lines of this (not tested):

type AddCmd struct {
	Username string `short:"u" long:"user" description:"Username"`
	Fullname string `short:"n" long:"fullname" description:"Full name"`
	Email    string `short:"e" long:"email" description:"Email address"`
	Phone    string `short:"p" long:"phone" description:"Phone number"`
}

func (r *AddCmd) Execute(args []string) error {...}

type UserCommand struct {
	Add AddCmd  `command:"add" description:"Add a new user"`
}
