How to pass flags to dependencies when the dependencies change the value?

[koeberlue]

I have the following justfile for formatting and linting my code:

[arg("fix", long="fix", value="--fix")]
style fix="": && (format fix) (lint fix)

# here --fix needs to be "translated" to --write
[arg("fix", long="fix", value="--write")]
format fix="":
  pnpm --recursive prettier {{fix}}

[arg("fix", long="fix", value="--fix")]
lint fix="":
  pnpm --recursive lint {{fix}}

So when I call just style it will execute the following, which is exactly what I want:

pnpm --recursive prettier
pnpm --recursive lint

When I call it with the flag just style --fix, this is what gets executed:

pnpm --recursive prettier --fix
pnpm --recursive lint --fix

As you can see, for the first dependent recipe, the flag was applied as --fix, but I wanted it to be --write instead. So this is what I wanted:

pnpm --recursive prettier --write
pnpm --recursive lint --fix

As I am new to using just it is possible that I am using a completely wrong approach. I would be really grateful for some ideas.

Try this:

[arg("fix", long="fix", value="--fix")]
style fix="": && (format fix) (lint fix)

# here --fix needs to be "translated" to --write
[arg("fix", long="fix", value="--write")]
format fix="":
  pnpm --recursive prettier {{if fix != "" { "--write" } else { "" } }}

[arg("fix", long="fix", value="--fix")]
lint fix="":
  pnpm --recursive lint {{fix}}
