For backward compatibility, Cobra still supports its bash legacy dynamic completion solution.

Please refer to [Bash Completions](bash_completions.md) for details.

### Bash completion V2
|
||||
|
||||
Cobra provides two versions for bash completion. The original bash completion (which started it all!) can be used by calling
|
||||
`GenBashCompletion()` or `GenBashCompletionFile()`.
|
||||
|
||||
A new V2 bash completion version is also available. This version can be used by calling `GenBashCompletionV2()` or
|
||||
`GenBashCompletionFileV2()`. The V2 version does **not** support the legacy dynamic completion (see [Bash Completions]
|
||||
(bash_completions.md)) but instead works only with the Go dynamic completion solution described in this Readme.
|
||||
Unless your program already uses the legacy dynamic completion solution, it is recommended that you use the bash
|
||||
completion V2 solution which provides the following extra features:
|
||||
- Supports completion descriptions (like the other shells)
|
||||
- Small completion script of less than 300 lines (v1 generates scripts of thousands of lines; `kubectl` for example has a bash v1 completion script of over 13K lines)
|
||||
- Streamlined user experience thanks to a completion behavior aligned with the other shells
|
||||
|
||||
`Bash` completion V2 supports descriptions for completions. When calling `GenBashCompletionV2()` or `GenBashCompletionFileV2()`
|
||||
you must provide these functions with a parameter indicating if the completions should be annotated with a description; Cobra
|
||||
will provide the description automatically based on usage information. You can choose to make this option configurable by
|
||||
your users.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
# With descriptions
|
||||
$ helm s[tab][tab]
|
||||
search (search for a keyword in charts) status (display the status of the named release)
|
||||
show (show information of a chart)
|
||||
|
||||
# Without descriptions
|
||||
$ helm s[tab][tab]
|
||||
search show status
|
||||
```
|
||||
**Note**: Cobra's default `completion` command uses bash completion V2. If for some reason you need to use bash completion V1, you will need to implement your own `completion` command.
|
||||
## Zsh completions
|
||||
|
||||
Cobra supports native zsh completion generated from the root `cobra.Command`.
