[Geth源码]好用到失眠的命令行应用框架cli

Tag: 以太坊源码 Geth cli Go Golang command line source code

近期开始看以太坊源码，然后发现了这个神奇的，好用到失眠的命令行应用框架cli，因此推荐给大家。

Geth源码

Geth源码地址是 https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum.git，下载编译后，产出的geth等位于build/bin下

下载

mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/ethereum/
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/ethereum/
git clone https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum.git

或者

go get github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum

编译

$ make all
$ ls build/bin
abigen      evm     mimegen     simulations
bootnode    examples    p2psim      swarm
clef        faucet      puppeth     swarm-smoke
ethkey      geth        rlpdump     wnode

geth有众多的参数和自命令，属于是比较复杂的大工程。

$ ./build/bin/geth -h

而这一切，都靠cli搞定。

神奇的cli

打开geth的入口文件cmd/geth/main.go

geth 入口文件 cmd/geth/main.go

可以看到main函数里，使用了app.Run并把所有命令行参数都传了进去，app的相关设置都在init中完成。

// ...
var (

    // ...

    // The app that holds all commands and flags.
    app = utils.NewApp(gitCommit, "the go-ethereum command line interface")

    // ...

)

// ...

func init() {
    // Initialize the CLI app and start Geth
    app.Action = geth
    app.HideVersion = true // we have a command to print the version
    app.Copyright = "Copyright 2013-2018 The go-ethereum Authors"

    //...
 
}
func main() {
    if err := app.Run(os.Args); err != nil {
        fmt.Fprintln(os.Stderr, err)
        os.Exit(1)
    }
}

// ...

这个app对象来自于"gopkg.in/urfave/cli.v1"包，使用的是v1稳定版本，文档见https://gopkg.in/urfave/cli.v1。这也是本文重点推荐的框架，使用该框架会让命令行编程变得非常方便。

App结构

App位于app.go，结构如下，可以看到自定义的信息应有尽有，包括程序名字、作者信息、用法指导、帮助、标志位、前后处理函数等等。

// App is the main structure of a cli application. It is recommended that
// an app be created with the cli.NewApp() function
type App struct {
    // The name of the program. Defaults to path.Base(os.Args[0])
    Name string
    // Full name of command for help, defaults to Name
    HelpName string
    // Description of the program.
    Usage string
    // Text to override the USAGE section of help
    UsageText string
    // Description of the program argument format.
    ArgsUsage string
    // Version of the program
    Version string
    // Description of the program
    Description string
    // List of commands to execute
    Commands []Command
    // List of flags to parse
    Flags []Flag
    // Boolean to enable bash completion commands
    EnableBashCompletion bool
    // Boolean to hide built-in help command
    HideHelp bool
    // Boolean to hide built-in version flag and the VERSION section of help
    HideVersion bool
    // Populate on app startup, only gettable through method Categories()
    categories CommandCategories
    // An action to execute when the bash-completion flag is set
    BashComplete BashCompleteFunc
    // An action to execute before any subcommands are run, but after the context is ready
    // If a non-nil error is returned, no subcommands are run
    Before BeforeFunc
    // An action to execute after any subcommands are run, but after the subcommand has finished
    // It is run even if Action() panics
    After AfterFunc

    // The action to execute when no subcommands are specified
    // Expects a `cli.ActionFunc` but will accept the *deprecated* signature of `func(*cli.Context) {}`
    // *Note*: support for the deprecated `Action` signature will be removed in a future version
    Action interface{}

    // Execute this function if the proper command cannot be found
    CommandNotFound CommandNotFoundFunc
    // Execute this function if an usage error occurs
    OnUsageError OnUsageErrorFunc
    // Compilation date
    Compiled time.Time
    // List of all authors who contributed
    Authors []Author
    // Copyright of the binary if any
    Copyright string
    // Name of Author (Note: Use App.Authors, this is deprecated)
    Author string
    // Email of Author (Note: Use App.Authors, this is deprecated)
    Email string
    // Writer writer to write output to
    Writer io.Writer
    // ErrWriter writes error output
    ErrWriter io.Writer
    // Other custom info
    Metadata map[string]interface{}
    // Carries a function which returns app specific info.
    ExtraInfo func() map[string]string
    // CustomAppHelpTemplate the text template for app help topic.
    // cli.go uses text/template to render templates. You can
    // render custom help text by setting this variable.
    CustomAppHelpTemplate string

    didSetup bool
}

App对象的用法很简单，设置对应的属性，然后运行即可。如果想有自定义的行为，定义函数，然后设置对应的回调变量即可。

geth除了设置名字、版本号等，最重要的就是Action和Commands了。其中Action是命令默认动作（如无子命令），Commands定义了各个子命令以及对应的Action。见https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/blob/master/cmd/geth/main.go#L176

    app.Commands = []cli.Command{
        // See chaincmd.go:
        initCommand,
        importCommand,
        exportCommand,
        importPreimagesCommand,
        exportPreimagesCommand,
        copydbCommand,
        removedbCommand,
        dumpCommand,
        // See monitorcmd.go:
        monitorCommand,
        // See accountcmd.go:
        accountCommand,
        walletCommand,
        // See consolecmd.go:
        consoleCommand,
        attachCommand,
        javascriptCommand,
        // See misccmd.go:
        makecacheCommand,
        makedagCommand,
        versionCommand,
        bugCommand,
        licenseCommand,
        // See config.go
        dumpConfigCommand,
    }

可见，这些command恰好和前边的geth -h输出的命令完全一样，其中help信息输出，靠的是cli. helpPrinter，包里甚至还有模板可以定义，非常赞。

    cli.AppHelpTemplate = `NAME:
  {{.Name}} - {{.Usage}}

Geth的结构

了解了cli之后，geth的代码结构就非常清楚了，主程序调用的是geth函数，其他子命令调用对应的command，挨个研究即可。

// geth is the main entry point into the system if no special subcommand is ran.
// It creates a default node based on the command line arguments and runs it in
// blocking mode, waiting for it to be shut down.
func geth(ctx *cli.Context) error {
    if args := ctx.Args(); len(args) > 0 {
        return fmt.Errorf("invalid command: %q", args[0])
    }
    node := makeFullNode(ctx)
    startNode(ctx, node)
    node.Wait()
    return nil
}

    initCommand = cli.Command{
        Action:    utils.MigrateFlags(initGenesis),
        Name:      "init",
        Usage:     "Bootstrap and initialize a new genesis block",
        ArgsUsage: "",
        Flags: []cli.Flag{
            utils.DataDirFlag,
        },
        Category: "BLOCKCHAIN COMMANDS",
        Description: `
The init command initializes a new genesis block and definition for the network.
This is a destructive action and changes the network in which you will be
participating.

It expects the genesis file as argument.`,
    }

其中，utils.MigrateFlags是个通用的处理函数，用于设置标志位（把子context的Flag属性设置到全局context上），如注释，是为了兼容旧版本。

// MigrateFlags sets the global flag from a local flag when it's set.
// This is a temporary function used for migrating old command/flags to the
// new format.
//
// e.g. geth account new --keystore /tmp/mykeystore --lightkdf
//
// is equivalent after calling this method with:
//
// geth --keystore /tmp/mykeystore --lightkdf account new
//
// This allows the use of the existing configuration functionality.
// When all flags are migrated this function can be removed and the existing
// configuration functionality must be changed that is uses local flags
func MigrateFlags(action func(ctx *cli.Context) error) func(*cli.Context) error {
    return func(ctx *cli.Context) error {
        for _, name := range ctx.FlagNames() {
            if ctx.IsSet(name) {
                ctx.GlobalSet(name, ctx.String(name))
            }
        }
        return action(ctx)
    }
}

真正起作用的，仍然是initGenesis。其他子命令类似。

嗯，这一下子清楚多了。
