const parsedCommandsAndArgv = parseCommands(commandDefinition, process.argv.slice(2));
// pass parsed argv to minimist
const options = parseArgs(parsedCommandsAndArgv.argv);
console.log('sub-command:', parsedCommandsAndArgv.commands);
console.log('parsed options by minimist:', options);

If you want to check schema of commandDefinition
, please use COMMAND_JSON_SCHEMA
.
const COMMAND_JSON_SCHEMA = require('minimist-subcommand').COMMAND_JSON_SCHEMA;
const commandDefinition = {
commands: {
foo: null,
bar: null
}
};
// I will leave it to the judgment of the user.
someJsonSchemaLibrary.validate(COMMAND_JSON_SCHEMA, commandDefinition);
