|
The mighty option parser used by [yargs](https://github.com/yargs/yargs).
|
|
|
|
visit the [yargs website](http://yargs.js.org/) for more examples, and thorough usage instructions.

|
|
|
|
## Example
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
npm i yargs-parser --save
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
var argv = require('yargs-parser')(process.argv.slice(2))
|
|
console.log(argv)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
node example.js --foo=33 --bar hello
|
|
{ _: [], foo: 33, bar: 'hello' }
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
_or parse a string!_
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
var argv = require('./')('--foo=99 --bar=33')
|
|
console.log(argv)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
{ _: [], foo: 99, bar: 33 }
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Convert an array of mixed types before passing to `yargs-parser`:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
var parse = require('yargs-parser')
|
|
parse(['-f', 11, '--zoom', 55].join(' ')) // <-- array to string
|
|
parse(['-f', 11, '--zoom', 55].map(String)) // <-- array of strings
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## API
|
|
|
|
### require('yargs-parser')(args, opts={})
|
|
|
|
Parses command line arguments returning a simple mapping of keys and values.
|
|
|
|
**expects:**
|
|
|
|
* `args`: a string or array of strings 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.coerce`: provide a custom synchronous function that returns a coerced value from the argument provided
|
|
(or throws an error), e.g. `{coerce: {foo: function (arg) {return modifiedArg}}}`.
|
|
* `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](#configuration)).
|
|
* `opts.number`: keys should be treated as numbers.
|
|
* `opts['--']`: arguments after the end-of-options flag `--` will be set to the `argv.['--']` array instead of being set to the `argv._` array.
|
|
|
|
**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.
|
|
* [optional] `--`: an array with arguments after the end-of-options flag `--`.
|
|
|
|
### require('yargs-parser').detailed(args, opts={})
|
|
|
|
Parses a command line string, returning detailed information required by the
|
|
yargs engine.
|
|
|
|
**expects:**
|
|
|
|
* `args`: a string or array of strings 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.

|
### Configuration
|
|
|
|
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`.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
var parsed = parser(['--no-dice'], {
|
|
configuration: {
|
|
'boolean-negation': false
|
|
}
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### short option groups
|
|
|
|
* default: `true`.
|
|
* key: `short-option-groups`.
|
|
|
|
Should a group of short-options be treated as boolean flags?
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
node example.js -abc
|
|
{ _: [], a: true, b: true, c: true }
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
_if disabled:_
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
node example.js -abc
|
|
{ _: [], abc: true }
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### camel-case expansion
|
|
|
|
* default: `true`.
|
|
* key: `camel-case-expansion`.
|
|
|
|
Should hyphenated arguments be expanded into camel-case aliases?
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
node example.js --foo-bar
|
|
{ _: [], 'foo-bar': true, fooBar: true }
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
_if disabled:_

node example.js --foo.bar
|
|
{ _: [], foo: { bar: true } }
|
|
```
|

|
```sh
|

|
|
{ _: [], foo: 99.3 }
|
|
```

|
|
|
|

## Special Thanks

The yargs project evolves from optimist and minimist. It owes its
|
|
existence to a lot of James Halliday's hard work. Thanks [substack](https://github.com/substack) **beep** **boop** \o/
