Description
I am new to Typer but I cannot really find the info I need in the docs nor Google/SO... I am trying to add flags to my app with typer commands. I would like to have:
myApp command1 --flag1 value1 --flag2 value2
Is it possible to modify the code I posted above so that the commands accepts additional named parameters?

Additional Context
I asked the same question on StackOverflow but did not get any response yet: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/73780139/how-to-add-flags-for-typer-commands-in-python
I suspect there is a partial difference in terminology here, where in common command-line parlance we might say "flags", really in most command documentation, a "flag" is an on-off binary condition (such as --verbose
or --no-tlsv1.0
) and a type of command-line "option"; Typer continues this tradition.
For the Typer specifics, believe you will find the answers to your woes in the documentation / tutorial in the Commands --> Command CLI Options subsection. This, along with the earlier CLI Options section and some of the later sections like CLI Parameter Types and Multiple Options, should have just about everything there is to know about adding options.
Thank you very much! I will look into these :)
Thanks for the help here @nealian ! 👏 🙇
