# `click-complete` - Shell Completion for Click CLI Applications

`click-complete` is a Python library that simplifies the process of adding shell completion support to Click-based CLI applications.

______________________________________________________________________

## Features

- **Shell Completion Generation**: Automatically generate shell completion scripts for your Click CLI applications.
- **Customizable Options**: Add a `--completion` option to your CLI commands to generate completion scripts on the fly.
- **Support for Multiple Shells**: Currently supports `fish` shell, with extensibility for `bash` and `zsh`.
- **File Validation**: Includes a custom `FileType` parameter type for validating file paths and extensions.

______________________________________________________________________

## Installation

You can install `click-complete` via pip:

```bash
pip install click-complete
```

______________________________________________________________________

## Quick Start

### Adding Shell Completion to a Click Command

Use the `completion_option` decorator to add a `--completion` option to your Click command:

```python
import click
from click_complete import completion_option

@click.command()
@completion_option()
def mycli():
    """A sample CLI tool."""
    click.echo("Welcome to my CLI!")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    mycli()
```

Run the command with the `--completion` option to generate a completion script:

```bash
$ mycli --completion fish
# Fish completion script for mycli
```

### Adding a Completion Command to a Click Group

Use the `completion_command` function to add a dedicated `completion` command to your Click group:

```python
import click
from click_complete import completion_command

@click.group()
def cli():
    """A sample CLI group."""
    pass

# Add the completion command
cli.add_command(completion_command(program_name="my_app"))

if __name__ == "__main__":
    cli()
```

Run the `completion` command to generate a completion script:

```bash
$ my_app completion fish
# Fish completion script for my_app
```

### Validating File Paths

Use the `FileType` parameter type to validate file paths and extensions:

```python
import click
from click_complete import FileType

@click.command()
@click.argument("file", type=FileType([".json", ".txt"]))
def validate_file(file):
    """Validate a file path and extension."""
    click.echo(f"File '{file}' is valid!")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    validate_file()
```

Run the command with a valid file path:

```bash
$ validate_file example.json
File 'example.json' is valid!
```

) -> _Decorator[FC]:
    """
    A decorator to add an option for generating shell completion scripts.

    Parameters:
        param_decls: Names of the option (e.g., "--completion").
