CLI arguments parser for node.js, with [sub-commands](https://docs.python.org/3.9/library/argparse.html#sub-commands) support. Port of python's [argparse](http://docs.python.org/dev/library/argparse.html) (version [3.9.0](https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/v3.9.0rc1/Lib/argparse.py)).
|
|
|
|
**Difference with original.**
|
|
|
|
- JS has no keyword arguments support.
|
|
- Pass options instead: `new ArgumentParser({ description: 'example', add_help: true })`.
|
|
- JS has no python's types `int`, `float`, ...
|
|
- Use string-typed names: `.add_argument('-b', { type: 'int', help: 'help' })`.
|
|
- `%r` format specifier uses `require('util').inspect()`.
|
|

|
|
|
const { ArgumentParser } = require('argparse');
|
|
const { version } = require('./package.json');
|
|
|
|
const parser = new ArgumentParser({
|
|
description: 'Argparse example'
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
parser.add_argument('-v', '--version', { action: 'version', version });
|
|
parser.add_argument('-f', '--foo', { help: 'foo bar' });
|
|
parser.add_argument('-b', '--bar', { help: 'bar foo' });
|
|
parser.add_argument('--baz', { help: 'baz bar' });
|
|
|
|
console.dir(parser.parse_args());
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Display help:
|
|

|
$ ./test.js -h
|

API docs

|
--------
|
|
|
|
Since this is a port with minimal divergence, there's no separate documentation.

|
Use original one instead, with notes about difference.
