args-parser

args-parser

Straight-forward node.js arguments parser.

Get the module

$ npm install args-parser

How to use it?

args(arguments)

Simply call the module passing it an arguments array such as process.argv:

const args = require("args-parser")(process.argv)

console.info(args)

The returned value is an Object having a key for each argument given, and eventually a value if it's found an = sign.

Considering that simple command:

$ node ./script.js careful -dangerous --tomatoes=3 --tonight

Will return:

{
   "careful": true,
   "dangerous": true,
   "tomatoes": 3,
   "tonight": true
}

So then you can easily check what you need:

if (args.careful) {
    // Do something
}
