英文:
Set default value for argument of type Vec<String> using Clap 4 Rust
问题
In Clap 2, the following code:
.arg(Arg::with_name("files").value_name("FILE").help("Input file(s)").multiple(true).default_value("-"),)
will produce:
USAGE:catr [FLAGS] [FILE]...FLAGS:-h, --help Prints help information
To express this in Clap 4 using the derive API, you can use the following code:
use clap::{Clap, arg};/// Define a struct for your command-line configuration.#[derive(Clap)]struct Config {/// The input files#[arg(default_value = "-")]files: Vec<String>,}fn main() {// Create and parse the command line arguments using Clap.let config = Config::parse();}
In Clap 4, you use the Clap and arg attributes to define the command-line interface for your application. The #[arg(default_value = "-")] attribute specifies the default value for the "files" argument, which is - in this case. You don't need to explicitly specify the multiple part in Clap 4 because it automatically allows multiple values for the "files" argument.
Regarding the error you encountered with the Vec<String> not implementing the Display trait, you are correct that you can't implement Display for Vec<String> directly. You can use the :? or {:#?} format specifiers to print the vector for debugging purposes, as suggested in the error message.

I want to express this in Clap 4 using the derive API.
So, I've got the struct:
pub struct Config{ // Define a public struct called Config./// The input files#[arg(default_value_t= vec!["-".to_string()])]files: Vec<String>,
When I cargo build, I get the following:
🕙[ 19:37:42 ] ❯ cargo buildCompiling catr v0.1.0 (/home/david/Work/Bitbucket/OReilly/Books/cmdlinerust/ch03/catr)error[E0277]: `Vec<std::string::String>` doesn't implement `std::fmt::Display`--> src/lib.rs:10:11|10 | #[arg(default_value_t=vec!["-".to_string()])]| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ `Vec<std::string::String>` cannot be formatted with the default formatter|= help: the trait `std::fmt::Display` is not implemented for `Vec<std::string::String>`= note: in format strings you may be able to use `{:?}` (or {:#?} for pretty-print) instead= note: required for `Vec<std::string::String>` to implement `ToString`
As a Rust beginner, I understand that Vec<String> doesn't implement the Display trait but I don't think I can do that for Vec<String>.
Anyway, the question is how do I translate the code in Clap 2 to Clap 4 (I believe that because I have Vec<String> I don't have to explicitly specify the `multiple part)?

解决方案是一个单词：default_values_t 而不是 default_value_t。
#[arg(default_values_t = ["-".to_string()])]
另外，不需要使用 vec!，因为它接受 IntoIterator<Item = String>。
英文:
The solution is a single letter: default_values_t instead of default_value_t.
#[arg(default_values_t = ["-".to_string()])]
You also don't need vec! because it takes IntoIterator<Item = String>.
