 # pydargs
 
-Pydargs allows configuring a (Pydantic) dataclass through command line arguments.
-
-## Installation
-
-Pydargs can be installed with your favourite package manager. For example:
-
-```
-pip install pydargs
-```
+Easily configure a CLI application using a (Pydantic) dataclass.
 
 ## Usage
 
-A minimal usage example would be:
+Pydargs instantiates a dataclass that is used as (configuration) input of your entrypoint from command line arguments.
+For example, in `example.py`:
 
 ```python
 from dataclasses import dataclass

+    number: int
+    some_string: str = "abc"

+    parser.add_argument("--number", type=int)
+    parser.add_argument("--some-string", dest="some_string", default="abc")
+    namespace = parser.parse_args()
+    config = Config(number=namespace["number"], some_string=namespace["some_string"])
+    main(config)
+```

+Aside from that, pydargs supports:
+- [a wide variety of field types](#supported-field-types),
+- [nested dataclasses](#nested-dataclasses),
+- [subparsers / commands](#subparsers),
+- [pydantic dataclasses](https://docs.pydantic.dev/latest/concepts/dataclasses/) to help you with validation.
