Python Click Library Rename Argument

Question

I am using the Click library but I can\'t seem to find a behavior similar to dest from argparse.

For example, I have

Answer 1

Renaming an option to a differently named function argument is possible by decorating the function with

@click.option('--format', '-f', 'format_arg_name')
def plug(format_arg_name):
    print(format_arg_name)

then it will remap the option named format and make it available as the format_arg_name parameter.

format_arg_name will not be available as a command line option, but --format and -f are.
