What is @types/yargs?

The @types/yargs package provides TypeScript type definitions for the yargs library, which is a tool to help build interactive command line tools, by parsing arguments and generating an elegant user interface. It helps TypeScript developers to have auto-completion and type checking when using yargs.

What are @types/yargs's main functionalities?

Command Module Definition

Defines a command with options. This example creates a 'get' command with a required 'url' option.

import * as yargs from 'yargs';

yargs.command('get', 'make a get HTTP request', {
  url: {
    describe: 'URL to make request to',
    demand: true,
    alias: 'u',
    type: 'string'
  }
}, (argv) => {
  console.log(`Making a GET request to: ${argv.url}`);
});

Option Parsing

Parses command line options. This example parses a boolean 'verbose' option.

import * as yargs from 'yargs';

const argv = yargs.option('verbose', {
  alias: 'v',
  type: 'boolean',
  description: 'Run with verbose logging'
}).argv;

if (argv.verbose) console.log('Verbose mode on');

Help and Version Setup

Sets up automatic version and help message support. This example sets the version of the CLI tool and enables the default help support.

import * as yargs from 'yargs';

yargs.version('1.0.0').help().argv;
