# click-contrib
As the user number of Click grows, more and more major feature requests are
made. To users, it may seem reasonable to include those features with Click;
however, many of them are experimental or aren't practical to support
generically. Maintainers have to choose what is reasonable to maintain in Click
core.
The [click-contrib](https://github.com/click-contrib/) GitHub organization exists as a place to collect third-party
packages that extend Click's features. It is also meant to ease the effort of
searching for such extensions.
Please note that the quality and stability of those packages may be different
from Click itself. While published under a common organization, they are still
separate from Click and the Pallets maintainers.
## Third-party projects
Other projects that extend Click's features are available outside the
[click-contrib](https://github.com/click-contrib/) organization.
Some of the most popular and actively maintained are listed below:
| Project | Description | Popularity | Activity |
|---------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| [Typer](https://github.com/fastapi/typer) | Use Python type hints to create CLI apps. |  |  |
| [rich-click](https://github.com/ewels/rich-click) | Format help output with Rich. |  |  |
| [click-app](https://github.com/simonw/click-app) | Cookiecutter template for creating new CLIs. |  |  |
| [Cloup](https://github.com/janluke/cloup) | Adds option groups, constraints, command aliases, help themes, suggestions and more. |  |  |
| [Click Extra](https://github.com/kdeldycke/click-extra) | Cloup + colorful `--help`, `--config`, `--show-params`, `--verbosity` options, etc. |  |  |
```{note}
