Example Code
from typing import List, Set
import typer
app = typer.Typer(name="set_example")
@app.command()
def list_of_str(list_of_str: List[str]):
typer.echo(f"list_of_str: {list_of_str!r}")
# @app.command()
# def set_of_str(set_of_str: Set[str]):
# typer.echo(f"set_of_str: {set_of_str!r}")
if __name__ == "__main__":
app()
Description
The code above should work with the commented section uncommented. Currently, if it is uncommented and run, it will raise:
RuntimeError: Type not yet supported: typing.Set[str]
Wanted Solution
Similar to how Typer
supports using typing.List
to accept a CLI parameter as a list of some supported atomic type (e.g. str
, int
, float
, etc.), it should also support using typing.Set
. It would be as if the parameter used typing.List
, but then before returning the list to the command function, set
is called on it. This provides some advantages, such as:
- removing duplicates
- removing argument order information
- providing a data structure with fast inclusion checking
Wanted Code
from typing import List, Set
import typer
app = typer.Typer(name="set_example")
@app.command()
def list_of_str(list_of_str: List[str]):
typer.echo(f"list_of_str: {list_of_str!r}")
@app.command()
def set_of_str(set_of_str: Set[str]):
typer.echo(f"set_of_str: {set_of_str!r}")
if __name__ == "__main__":
app()

Additional Context
I would like to implement this feature myself.
hi, would it be okay if I made a PR for it?
Fine by me @scarf005, but I don't know if the PR will be accepted by @tiangolo.
I've got some WIP here: https://github.com/WillDaSilva/typer/tree/set-params. Nothing much, but it might help.
Oh, nevermind about the WIP @scarf005. I see you've already opened a PR for this. Thanks!
