Issue with flags about micro HOT 3 CLOSED

Hi,

Note: Go-web is not meant as a full solution, it's merely a lightweight wrapper around go-micro and a hack to support building http web apps. Here's a couple solutions to your problem.

1. If you would like to use a different flag package or do your own configuration just avoid calling the Init method which parses the command line.

2. If you would like to use the built in flags then have a look at the implementation of the Init method https://github.com/micro/go-web/blob/master/service.go#L201L250. See that it's merely appending new flags to the default App in go-micro/cmd and setting up some action. You can do the same.

app := cmd.App()

app.Flags = append(app.Flags, cli.StringFlag{
        Name:   "c",
        Usage:  "Path to config",
})

before := app.Before

app.Before = func(ctx *cli.Context) error {
        if path := ctx.String("c"); len(path) > 0 {
                // got config
                // do stuff
        }
        return before(ctx)
} 

// now create my service
webService := web.NewService()
// parse command line
webService.Init()

In future please file the issue with the related project, in this case https://github.com/micro/go-web. If this answer is satisfactory please close the issue.

Thank you for your clear answer! We are currently starting converting our services to micro, and the go-web package enables us to start using it quickly. Option 1 works best for us atm.

Thanks again!
