# Contributing to podman-compose
## Adding new commands
To add a command you need to add a function that is decorated
with `@cmd_run` passing the compose instance, command name and
description. the wrapped function should accept two arguments
the compose instance and the command-specific arguments (resulted
from python's `argparse` package) inside that command you can
run PodMan like this `compose.podman.run(['inspect', 'something'])`
and inside that function you can access `compose.pods`
and `compose.containers` ...etc.
Here is an example
```
@cmd_run(podman_compose, 'build', 'build images defined in the stack')
def compose_build(compose, args):
compose.podman.run(['build', 'something'])
```
## Command arguments parsing
Add a function that accept `parser` which is an instance from `argparse`.
In side that function you can call `parser.add_argument()`.
The function decorated with `@cmd_parse` accepting the compose instance,
and command names (as a list or as a string).
You can do this multiple times.
Here is an example
```
@cmd_parse(podman_compose, 'build')
def compose_build_parse(parser):
parser.add_argument("--pull",
help="attempt to pull a newer version of the image", action='store_true')
parser.add_argument("--pull-always",
help="attempt to pull a newer version of the image, Raise an error even if the image is present locally.", action='store_true')
```
NOTE: `@cmd_parse` should be after `@cmd_run`
## Calling a command from inside another
If you need to call `podman-compose down` from inside `podman-compose up`
do something like:
```
@cmd_run(podman_compose, 'up', 'up desc')
def compose_up(compose, args):
compose.commands['down'](compose, args)
# or
compose.commands['down'](argparse.Namespace(foo=123))
```
