|
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
|
||
|
const argv = require('yargs-parser')(process.argv.slice(2))
|
||
|
console.log(argv)
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
```console
|
||
|
$ node example.js --foo=33 --bar hello
|
||
|
{ _: [], foo: 33, bar: 'hello' }
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
_or parse a string!_
|
||
|
|
||
|
```js
|
||
|
const argv = require('yargs-parser')('--foo=99 --bar=33')
|
||
|
console.log(argv)
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
```console
|
||
|
{ _: [], foo: 99, bar: 33 }
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
Convert an array of mixed types before passing to `yargs-parser`:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```js
|
||
|
const parse = require('yargs-parser')
|
||
|
parse(['-f', 11, '--zoom', 55].join(' ')) // <-- array to string
|
||
|
parse(['-f', 11, '--zoom', 55].map(String)) // <-- array of strings
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Deno Example
|
||
|
|
||
|
As of `v19` `yargs-parser` supports [Deno](https://github.com/denoland/deno):
|
||
|
|
||
|
```typescript
|
||
|
import parser from "https://deno.land/x/yargs_parser/deno.ts";
|
||
|
|
||
|
const argv = parser('--foo=99 --bar=9987930', {
|
||
|
string: ['bar']
|
||
|
})
|
||
|
console.log(argv)
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
## ESM Example
|
||
|
|
||
|
As of `v19` `yargs-parser` supports ESM (_both in Node.js and in the browser_):
|
||
|
|
||
|
**Node.js:**
|
||
|
|
||
|
```js
|
||
|
import parser from 'yargs-parser'
|
||
|
|
||
|
const argv = parser('--foo=99 --bar=9987930', {
|
||
|
string: ['bar']
|
||
|
})
|
||
|
console.log(argv)
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
**Browsers:**
|
||
|
|
||
|
```html
|
||
|
<!doctype html>
|
||
|
<body>
|
||
|
<script type="module">
|
||
|
import parser from "https://unpkg.com/yargs-parser@19.0.0/browser.js";
|
||
|
|
||
|
const argv = parser('--foo=99 --bar=9987930', {
|
||
|
string: ['bar']
|
||
|
})
|
||
|
console.log(argv)
|
||
|
</script>
|
||
|
</body>
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
## API
|
||
|
|
||
|
### 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']}`.<br>
|
||
|
Indicate that keys should be parsed as an array and coerced to booleans / numbers:<br>
|
||
|
`{array: [{ key: 'foo', boolean: true }, {key: 'bar', number: true}]}`.
|
||
|
* `opts.boolean`: arguments should be parsed as booleans: `{boolean: ['x', 'y']}`.
|
||
|
* `opts.coerce`: provide a custom synchronous function that returns a coerced value from the argument provided
|
||
|
(or throws an error). For arrays the function is called only once for the entire array:<br>
|
||
|
`{coerce: {foo: function (arg) {return modifiedArg}}}`.
|
||
|
* `opts.config`: indicate a key that represents a path to a configuration file (this file will be loaded and parsed).
|
||
|
* `opts.configObjects`: configuration objects to parse, their properties will be set as arguments:<br>
|
||
|
`{configObjects: [{'x': 5, 'y': 33}, {'z': 44}]}`.
|
||
|
* `opts.configuration`: provide configuration options to the yargs-parser (see: [configuration](#configuration)).
|
||
|
* `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.number`: keys should be treated as numbers.
|
||
|
* `opts.string`: keys should be treated as strings (even if they resemble a number `-x 33`).
|
||
|
|
||
|
**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.
|
||
|
* [optional] `--`: an array with arguments after the end-of-options flag `--`.
|
||
|
* `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:
|
||
|
* `boolean`: `{ fooBar: true }`
|
||
|
* `defaulted`: any new argument created by `opts.default`, no aliases included.
|
||
|
* `boolean`: `{ foo: true }`
|
||
|
* `configuration`: given by default settings and `opts.configuration`.

|
|
||
|
### 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?
|
||
|
|
||
|

|
```
|
||
|
|

|
|
||
|
* default: `true`
|

|
||
|
{ _: [], foo: { bar: true } }

|
||
|
|

|
Should arguments be coerced into an array when duplicated:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```console
|
||
|

_If disabled:_
|
||
|

||
|
* default: `false`.
|
||
|
* key: `halt-at-non-option`.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Should parsing stop at the first positional argument? This is similar to how e.g. `ssh` parses its command line.
|
||
|
|
||
|
_If disabled:_
|
||
|
|
||
|
```console
|
||
|
$ node example.js -a run b -x y

_If disabled:_
|
||
|
|
||
|
```console
|
||
|
$ node example.js --test-field 1
|

|
||
|
* default: `false`
|
||
|
* key: `strip-dashed`
|

`camel-case-expansion` is disabled.
|
||
|
|
||
|
_If disabled:_
|
||
|
|
||
|
```console
|
||
|
$ node example.js --test-field 1
|

Should unknown options be treated like regular arguments? An unknown option is one that is not
|
||
|
configured in `opts`.

|
_If disabled_
|
||
|
|
||
|
```console
|
||
|
$ node example.js --unknown-option --known-option 2 --string-option --unknown-option2
|
||
|
{ _: [], unknownOption: true, knownOption: 2, stringOption: '', unknownOption2: true }
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
_If enabled_
|
||
|
|
||
|
```console
|
||
|
$ node example.js --unknown-option --known-option 2 --string-option --unknown-option2
|
||
|
{ _: ['--unknown-option'], knownOption: 2, stringOption: '--unknown-option2' }
|
||
|
```

## Supported Node.js Versions
|
||
|
|
||
|
Libraries in this ecosystem make a best effort to track
|
||
|
[Node.js' release schedule](https://nodejs.org/en/about/releases/). Here's [a
|
||
|
post on why we think this is important](https://medium.com/the-node-js-collection/maintainers-should-consider-following-node-js-release-schedule-ab08ed4de71a).

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/
