The mighty option parser used by yargs.
visit the yargs website for more examples, and thorough usage instructions.
npm i yargs-parser --save
var argv = require('yargs-parser')(process.argv.slice(2));
console.log(argv)
node example.js --foo=33 --bar hello
{ _: [], foo: 33, bar: 'hello' }
or parse a string!
var argv = require('./')('--foo=99 --bar=33');
console.log(argv)
{ _: [], foo: 99, bar: 33 }
Parses command line arguments returning a simple mapping of keys and values.
expects:
args
: an array or string representing the options to parse.opts
: provide a set of hints indicating how args
should be parsed:
opts.alias
: an object representing the set of aliases for a key: {alias: {foo: ['f']}}
.opts.array
: indicate that keys should be parsed as an array: {array: ['foo', 'bar']}
.opts.boolean
: arguments should be parsed as booleans: {boolean: ['x', 'y']}
.opts.config
: indicate a key that represents a path to a configuration file (this file will be loaded and parsed).opts.count
: indicate a key that should be used as a counter, e.g., -vvv
= {v: 3}
.opts.default
: provide default values for keys: {default: {x: 33, y: 'hello world!'}}
.opts.envPrefix
: environment variables (process.env
) with the prefix provided should be parsed.opts.narg
: specify that a key requires n
arguments: {narg: {x: 2}}
.opts.normalize
: path.normalize()
will be applied to values set to this key.opts.string
: keys should be treated as strings (even if they resemble a number -x 33
).opts.configuration
: provide configuration options to the yargs-parser (see: configuration).opts.number
: keys should be treated as numbers.returns:
obj
: an object representing the parsed value of args
key/value
: key value pairs for each argument and their aliases._
: an array representing the positional arguments.Parses a command line string, returning detailed information required by the yargs engine.
expects:
args
: an array or string representing options to parse.opts
: provide a set of hints indicating how args
, inputs are identical to require('yargs-parser')(args, opts={})
.returns:
argv
: an object representing the parsed value of args
key/value
: key value pairs for each argument and their aliases._
: an array representing the positional arguments.error
: populated with an error object if an exception occurred during parsing.aliases
: the inferred list of aliases built by combining lists in opts.alias
.newAliases
: any new aliases added via camel-case expansion.configuration
: the configuration loaded from the yargs
stanza in package.json.The yargs-parser applies several automated transformations on the keys provided
in args
. These features can be turned on and off using the configuration
field
of opts
.
var parsed = parser(['--no-dice'], {
configuration: {
'boolean-negation': false
}
})
true
.short-option-groups
.Should a group of short-options be treated as boolean flags?
node example.js -abc
{ _: [], a: true, b: true, c: true }
if disabled:
node example.js -abc
{ _: [], abc: true }
true
.camel-case-expansion
.Should hyphenated arguments be expanded into camel-case aliases?
node example.js --foo-bar
{ _: [], 'foo-bar': true, fooBar: true }
if disabled:
node example.js --foo-bar
{ _: [], 'foo-bar': true }
true
dot-notation
Should keys that contain .
be treated as objects?
node example.js --foo.bar
{ _: [], foo: { bar: true } }
if disabled:
node example.js --foo.bar
{ _: [], "foo.bar": true }
true
Should keys that look like numbers be treated as such?
node example.js --foo=99.3
{ _: [], foo: 99.3 }
if disabled:
node example.js --foo=99.3
{ _: [], foo: "99.3" }
true
Should variables prefixed with --no
be treated as negations?
node example.js --no-foo
{ _: [], foo: false }
if disabled:
node example.js --no-foo
{ _: [], "no-foo": true }
The yargs project evolves from optimist and minimist. It owes its existence to a lot of James Halliday's hard work. Thanks substack beep boop \o/
