import zclopts from '@sovpro/zclopts'

const argv = process.argv.slice (2)
const opts = zclopts (argv)

console.log (opts)

Example execution:

node ./show-options.js -abc yes -no-xyz no --param one two -vvv --param three

Example output:

Map {
  'a' => true,
  'b' => true,
  'c' => 'yes',
  'x' => false,
  'y' => false,
  'z' => 'no',
  'param' => [ 'one two', 'three' ],
  'v' => 3 }

Flags

node my-script.js -f

Map { 'f' => true }

node my-script.js -no-f

Map { 'f' => false }

Double Flag

node my-script.js -ff

Map { 'f' => 2 }

node my-script.js -no-ff

Map { 'f' => false }

Flag with value

node my-script.js -f value

Map { 'f' => 'value' }

Flag with sequential values

node my-script.js -f value-1 value-2

Map { 'f' => 'value-1 value-2' }

Flag occurring more than once

node my-script.js -f value-1 value-2 -f value-3 value-4

Map { 'f' => 'value-3 value-4' }

Flag group

node my-script.js -abc

Map { 'a' => true, 'b' => true, 'c' => true }

node my-script.js -no-abc

Map { 'a' => false, 'b' => false, 'c' => false }

Flag group with trailing value

node my-script.js -abc value

Map { 'a' => true, 'b' => true, 'c' => 'value' }

node my-script.js -no-abc value

Map { 'a' => false, 'b' => false, 'c' => 'value' }

Flag as a parameter

node my-script.js -f=value

Map { 'f' => 'value' }

Params

node my-script.js --param

Map { 'param' => undefined }

Param with value

node my-script.js --param value

Map { 'param' => 'value' }

node my-script.js --param=value

Map { 'param' => 'value' }

Param with sequential values

node my-script.js --param value-1 value-2

Map { 'param' => 'value-1 value-2' }

Param occurring more than once

node my-script.js --param value-1 value-2 --param value-3 value-4

Map { 'param' => ['value-1 value-2', 'value-3 value-4'] }
