argsfree

Argsfree is a Python decorator that simplifies the creation of functions that don't require arguments. It achieves this by automatically injecting a predefined value or performing a specific action when the decorated function is called without any arguments. This can be useful for functions that have a default behavior or depend on context that is implicitly known.

The primary use case for argsfree is to create functions that are meant to be called directly, such as callbacks or event handlers, where passing explicit arguments might be cumbersome or unnecessary. By using the argsfree decorator, developers can define a function that will execute its logic without needing to worry about argument handling.

The decorator typically takes an optional argument that specifies the value to be returned or the action to be performed when the function is called without arguments. If no argument is provided to the decorator, the decorated function might simply return None or execute a default behavior.

Argsfree can improve code readability and reduce boilerplate by abstracting away the need for manual argument checking or default value assignment within the function definition itself. It promotes a cleaner syntax for functions that are designed to operate independently of explicit input parameters.
