Flask CLI commands and arguments


How do you let a Flask CLI command accept an argument?

Flask seems to customise the Click Group object, so this doesn't work:

@app.cli.command()
@app.cli.argument('email')
def user_info(email):
    ...

Solution

  • @app.cli.command is only to tell the click about this user_info. If you want the arguments and other click functionality please use click as well.

    @app.cli.command()
    @click.option('--email')
    def user_info(email):
        ...
