stripe-cli-plugin-bootstrap

A Go library that bootstraps Stripe CLI plugins. It handles the plugin lifecycle including RPC communication with the CLI host, command registration, telemetry, and signal handling.

Usage

package main

import (
	"context"

	"github.com/spf13/cobra"
	"github.com/stripe/stripe-cli-go-plugin-bootstrap/v2/pkg/bootstrap"
	"github.com/stripe/stripe-cli-go-plugin-bootstrap/v2/pkg/telemetry"
)

func main() {
	rootCmd := &cobra.Command{
		Use:   "myplugin",
		Short: "My Stripe CLI plugin",
	}

	bootstrap.StartPlugin(
		&bootstrap.Config{
			HandshakeKey:   "myplugin",
			HandshakeValue: "hello",
		},
		func(args []string, ctx context.Context) error {
			rootCmd.SetArgs(args)
			return rootCmd.ExecuteContext(ctx)
		},
		rootCmd,
		telemetry.PluginInfo{
			Name:    "myplugin",
			Version: "0.1.0",
		},
	)
}

Features

• Plugin RPC: Handles hashicorp/go-plugin communication (v1 net/rpc and v2 gRPC protocols)
• Telemetry: Opt-in CLI analytics via WithTelemetry
• Signal handling: Graceful cancellation on SIGINT
• CLI config: Automatically registers global flags (--api-key, --color, --config, etc.)
• Dev mode: Build with -tags localdev to run the plugin standalone without the CLI host
• Command tree extraction: ExtractCommandTree exports your command structure for use in plugin manifests

Installation
