:metal: Quick Start
Run npm i cli-argument-parser
:ok_hand: Basic usage
import { cliArguments } from 'cli-argument-parser';
const arg1 = cliArguments.arg1;
const arg2 = cliArguments.arg2;
Run a cli with arg1
and arg2
, ie: my-command --arg1=2 --arg2=1
And the values will be inside the variables we declared above.
:speak_no_evil: Configurate unique CLI's
Using a configuration file
Create a file in the root of your project called cli.config.json
and paste the following into it:
{
prefix: '--',
separator: '='
}
The prefix
is a value which the argument must start with, --
is the default one. (ex: --arg=5
)
The separator
is a value which seperated between the argument name and argument value. =
is the default one. (ex: --arg=5
)
This gives you the abillity to configurate your cli arguments as you wish.
Using the CLI
If additional files are a mess in your opinion, it is also possible to pass the CLI configuration via CLI arguments.
--cli-prefix
to configurate the CLI prefix, ie: --cli-prefix=--
--cli-separator
to configurate the CLI separator, ie: --cli-separator==
Using the code
Instead of using the existing cliArguments
, you are able to also create a custom one, using the following code snippet:
import { filterArguments } from 'cli-argument-parser';
const arguments = filterArguments('--', '=');
The arguments
variable will hold a JS object with arguments (just like cliArguments
) filtered by defined prefix and separator .
