It lets you define CLI options as msgspec types\u2014typically dataclasses or structs\u2014and automatically generates click decorators from those definitions, eliminating repetitive option declarations.\n\nThe package is designed for developers who want type-safe CLI applications without manually wiring up each argument and option. Instead of writing click decorators by hand, you define your CLI interface as a msgspec type and let the library generate the boilerplate. It supports Python 3.8 through 3.12 on both CPython and PyPy.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are already using both click and msgspec and want to reduce CLI boilerplate\u2014the install is frictionless and there are no known vulnerabilities. However, proceed cautiously: the project is dormant (last release 689 days ago), has minimal adoption (74957 monthly downloads, rank 14763), and the license metadata is unclear. Use it for new projects only if you are comfortable maintaining a fork or accepting no upstream updates."},"id":"msgspec-click","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/msgspec-click","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/msgspec-click.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/msgspec-click/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-09-24","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"unclear","name":"msgspec-click","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Generate Click options from msgspec types"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":74957,"position":14763,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.2.1"}
