# cli Source
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The cli source reads config from parsed flags via a cli.Context.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Format
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
We expect the use of the `micro/cli` package. Upper case flags will be lower cased. Dashes will be used as delimiters for nesting.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Example
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```go
 | 
						|
micro.Flags(
 | 
						|
    cli.StringFlag{
 | 
						|
        Name: "database-address",
 | 
						|
        Value: "127.0.0.1",
 | 
						|
        Usage: "the db address",
 | 
						|
    },
 | 
						|
    cli.IntFlag{
 | 
						|
        Name: "database-port",
 | 
						|
        Value: 3306,
 | 
						|
        Usage: "the db port",
 | 
						|
    },
 | 
						|
)
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Becomes
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```json
 | 
						|
{
 | 
						|
    "database": {
 | 
						|
        "address": "127.0.0.1",
 | 
						|
        "port": 3306
 | 
						|
    }
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## New and Load Source
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Because a cli.Context is needed to retrieve the flags and their values, it is recommended to build your source from within a cli.Action.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```go
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
func main() {
 | 
						|
    // New Service
 | 
						|
    service := micro.NewService(
 | 
						|
        micro.Name("example"),
 | 
						|
        micro.Flags(
 | 
						|
            cli.StringFlag{
 | 
						|
                Name: "database-address",
 | 
						|
                Value: "127.0.0.1",
 | 
						|
                Usage: "the db address",
 | 
						|
            },
 | 
						|
        ),
 | 
						|
    )
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    var clisrc source.Source
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    service.Init(
 | 
						|
        micro.Action(func(c *cli.Context) {
 | 
						|
            clisrc = cli.NewSource(
 | 
						|
                cli.Context(c),
 | 
						|
	    )
 | 
						|
            // Alternatively, just setup your config right here
 | 
						|
        }),
 | 
						|
    )
 | 
						|
    
 | 
						|
    // ... Load and use that source ...
 | 
						|
    conf := config.NewConfig()
 | 
						|
    conf.Load(clisrc)
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
```
