Add a working completion example for 'zsh' shell
Currently documentation provides an example of completion for bash shell only.
zsh is one of the popular shells. it would be great to have completion example for this shell as well.
https://github.com/jessevdk/go-flags/pull/414
here ya go:
#compdef examples
compdef _examples examples
_examples() {
local IFS=$'\n'
local -a completions
completions=($(GO_FLAGS_COMPLETION=1 "${words[@]}"))
if [[ -n "$completions" ]]; then
_describe 'command' completions
fi
return 1
}
# don't run the completion function when being source-ed or eval-ed
if [ "$funcstack[1]" = "_examples" ]; then
_examples "$@"
fi
Where examples is just the name of the installed executable.
Note: This script needs to be installed in one of the $fpath directors, and needs to be loaded / inited via something like autoload -U compinit in your .zshrc. I'm a little unclear on specifics here, but if it helps this is what I have in my .zshrc:
fpath=(~/.zsh_completions $fpath)
autoload -U compinit
compinit
And I put the script in ~/.zsh_completions.
