process-argv

A really simple process argv parser for Node.js.

How to use it

It's just so simple as adding the following lines:

var argv = require('process-argv')()

if (argv.command === 'help') {
  showHelp()
} else if (argv.command === 'task') {
  doSomeTask(argv.options)
}

Don't need to define options, commands neither contextless params, just follow this rule:

• node app.js --option1 [param-for-option1] -multipleoptions [param-for-option-s] -v

Want more options

Just pass the following options to require('process-argv')(yourOptions):

• enable_commands, by default it is true and uses the first non-option as the command. Set it to false to disable command and just allow contextless params.
• single_hyphen_multioption, by default it is true and parses each character defined after a single hyphen as multiple options (e.g. -as as options a and s). Set it to false if you want -version defined as the version option.
