Release Notes

Latest Changes

Internal

  • 🔧 Tweak development scripts and configs after migration to PDM, Ruff, etc.. PR #797 by @tiangolo.

0.12.3

Fixes

  • 🐛 Fix Rich formatting with no commands. PR #796 by @svlandeg.

0.12.2

Features

  • ✨ Improve column help display, ensure commands column width is the same on all panels. PR #567 by @ssbarnea.

Fixes

  • 🐛 Add support for an argument of type Optional[Tuple] and default value None. PR #757 by @Asthestarsfalll.

Docs

0.12.1

Now you don't need to install typer[all]. When you install typer it comes with the default optional dependencies and the typer command.

If you don't want the extra optional dependencies (rich and shellingham), you can install typer-slim instead.

You can also install typer-slim[standard], which includes the default optional dependencies, but not the typer command.

Now the package typer-cli doesn't add anything on top of what typer has, it only depends on typer, and is there only for backwards compatibility, so that projects that depend on typer-cli can get the latest features of the typer command while they upgrade their dependencies to require typer directly.

Features

  • ✨ Add support for typer ./someprogram.py utils docs --title. PR #782 by @tiangolo.

Fixes

  • 🐛 Fix broken installation when upgrading from typer <0.12.0 to typer >=0.12.0, make typer independent of typer-slim, include typer command in typer package. PR #791 by @tiangolo.

This fixes a problem that would break the typer installation directory when upgrading from typer <0.12.0 to typer >=0.12.0, see issue #790.

By installing the latest version (0.12.1) it fixes it, for any previous version, even if the installation directory was already broken by the previous upgrade.

Internal

0.12.0

In version 0.12.0, the typer package depends on typer-slim[standard] which includes the default dependencies (instead of typer[all]) and typer-cli (that provides the typer command).

If you don't want the extra optional dependencies (rich and shellingham), you can install typer-slim instead.

You can also install typer-slim[standard], which includes the default optional dependencies, but not the typer command.

In version 0.12.0 the typer-cli package only provides the typer command, but the code is still in the main code, so even without installing typer-cli, it can be called with python -m typer.

This approach of having typer depend on typer-slim[standard] instead of including the whole code and dependencies itself caused an issue when upgrading from typer <0.12.0 to typer >=0.12.0, see issue #790. This is fixed in version 0.12.1.

Features

  • ✨ Add typer-slim package without extras, make typer include typer-slim[default] and integrate Typer CLI (typer command) into Typer. PR #780 by @tiangolo.

0.11.1

Fixes

  • 🔧 Explicitly include testing files in sdist for redistributors (e.g. OpenSUSE) and add CI to test redistribution. PR #773 by @tiangolo.
