## Generating bash completions for your command
Cobra can generate a bash completions file. If you add more information to your command these completions can be amazingly powerful and flexible. Read more about [Bash Completions](bash_completions.md)

# Generating Bash Completions For Your Own cobra.Command
Generating bash completions from a cobra command is incredibly easy. An actual program which does so for the kubernetes kubectl binary is as follows:
```go
package main
import (
"io/ioutil"
"os"
"github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/kubernetes/pkg/kubectl/cmd"
)
func main() {
kubectl := cmd.NewFactory(nil).NewKubectlCommand(os.Stdin, ioutil.Discard, ioutil.Discard)
kubectl.GenBashCompletionFile("out.sh")
}
```
That will get you completions of subcommands and flags. If you make additional annotations to your code, you can get even more intelligent and flexible behavior.
## Creating your own custom functions
Some more actual code that works in kubernetes:
```bash
const (
bash_completion_func = `__kubectl_parse_get()
{
local kubectl_output out
if kubectl_output=$(kubectl get --no-headers "$1" 2>/dev/null); then
out=($(echo "${kubectl_output}" | awk '{print $1}'))
COMPREPLY=( $( compgen -W "${out[*]}" -- "$cur" ) )
fi
}
__kubectl_get_resource()
{
if [[ ${#nouns[@]} -eq 0 ]]; then
return 1
fi
__kubectl_parse_get ${nouns[${#nouns[@]} -1]}
if [[ $? -eq 0 ]]; then
return 0
fi
}
__custom_func() {
case ${last_command} in
kubectl_get | kubectl_describe | kubectl_delete | kubectl_stop)
__kubectl_get_resource
return
;;
*)
;;
esac
}
`)
```
And then I set that in my command definition:
```go
cmds := &cobra.Command{
Use: "kubectl",
Short: "kubectl controls the Kubernetes cluster manager",
Long: `kubectl controls the Kubernetes cluster manager.
Find more information at https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/kubernetes.`,
Run: runHelp,
BashCompletionFunction: bash_completion_func,
}
```
The `BashCompletionFunction` option is really only valid/useful on the root command. Doing the above will cause `__custom_func()` to be called when the built in processor was unable to find a solution. In the case of kubernetes a valid command might look something like `kubectl get pod [mypod]`. If you type `kubectl get pod [tab][tab]` the `__customc_func()` will run because the cobra.Command only understood "kubectl" and "get." `__custom_func()` will see that the cobra.Command is "kubectl_get" and will thus call another helper `__kubectl_get_resource()`. `__kubectl_get_resource` will look at the 'nouns' collected. In our example the only noun will be `pod`. So it will call `__kubectl_parse_get pod`. `__kubectl_parse_get` will actually call out to kubernetes and get any pods. It will then set `COMPREPLY` to valid pods!
## Have the completions code complete your 'nouns'
In the above example "pod" was assumed to already be typed. But if you want `kubectl get [tab][tab]` to show a list of valid "nouns" you have to set them. Simplified code from `kubectl get` looks like:
```go
validArgs []string = { "pods", "nodes", "services", "replicationControllers" }
cmd := &cobra.Command{
Use: "get [(-o|--output=)json|yaml|template|...] (RESOURCE [NAME] | RESOURCE/NAME ...)",
Short: "Display one or many resources",
Long: get_long,
Example: get_example,
Run: func(cmd *cobra.Command, args []string) {
err := RunGet(f, out, cmd, args)
util.CheckErr(err)
},
ValidArgs: validArgs,
}
```
Notice we put the "ValidArgs" on the "get" subcommand. Doing so will give results like
```bash
# kubectl get [tab][tab]
nodes pods replicationControllers services
```
## Mark flags as required
Most of the time completions will only show subcommands. But if a flag is required to make a subcommand work, you probably want it to show up when the user types [tab][tab]. Marking a flag as 'Required' is incredibly easy.
```go
cmd.MarkFlagRequired("pod")
cmd.MarkFlagRequired("container")
```
and you'll get something like
```bash
# kubectl exec [tab][tab][tab]
-c --container= -p --pod=
```
# Specify valid filename extentions for flags that take a filename
In this example we use --filename= and expect to get a json or yaml file as the argument. To make this easier we annotate the --filename flag with valid filename extensions.
```go
annotations := make([]string, 3)
annotations[0] = "json"
annotations[1] = "yaml"
annotations[2] = "yml"
annotation := make(map[string][]string)
annotation[cobra.BashCompFilenameExt] = annotations
flag := &pflag.Flag{"filename", "f", usage, value, value.String(), false, annotation}
cmd.Flags().AddFlag(flag)
```
Now when you run a command with this filename flag you'll get something like
```bash
# kubectl create -f
test/ example/ rpmbuild/
hello.yml test.json
```
So while there are many other files in the CWD it only shows me subdirs and those with valid extensions.
