### Bind Flags with Config
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You can also bind your flags with [viper](https://github.com/spf13/viper):
|
||||||
|
```go
|
||||||
|
var author string
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
func init() {
|
||||||
|
RootCmd.PersistentFlags().StringVar(&author, "author", "YOUR NAME", "Author name for copyright attribution")
|
||||||
|
viper.BindPFlag("author", RootCmd.PersistentFlags().Lookup("author"))
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In this example the persistent flag `author` is bound with `viper`.
|
||||||
|
**Note**, that the variable `author` will not be set to the value from config,
|
||||||
|
when the `--author` flag is not provided by user.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
