Method AddSeparator

fire/trace.py:136–158

Marks that the most recent element of the trace used a separator. A separator is an argument you can pass to a Fire CLI to separate args left of the separator from args right of the separator. Here's an example to demonstrate the separator. Let's say you have a function that takes

(self)

    self.elements.append(element)

    A separator is an argument you can pass to a Fire CLI to separate args left
    of the separator from args right of the separator.

    Here's an example to demonstrate the separator. Let's say you have a
    function that takes a variable number of args, and you want to call that
    function, and then upper case the result. Here's how to do it:

    # in Python
    def display(arg1, arg2='!'):
      return arg1 + arg2

    # from Bash (the default separator is the hyphen -)
    display hello   # hello!
    display hello upper # helloupper
    display hello - upper # HELLO!

    Note how the separator caused the display function to be called with the
    default value for arg2.
