subarg v1.0.0
subarg
parse arguments with recursive contexts using minimist
This module is useful if you need to pass arguments into a piece of code without coordinating ahead of time with the main program, like with a plugin system.
example
var subarg = require('subarg');
var argv = subarg(process.argv.slice(2));
console.log(argv);
Contexts are denoted with square brackets:
$ node example/show.js rawr --beep [ boop -a 3 ] -n4 --robots [ -x 8 -y 6 ]
{ _: [ 'rawr' ],
beep: { _: [ 'boop' ], a: 3 },
n: 4,
robots: { _: [], x: 8, y: 6 } }
methods
var subarg = require('subarg')
var argv = subarg(args, opts)
Parse the arguments array args
, passing opts
to
minimist.
An opening [
in the args
array creates a new context and a ]
closes a
context. Contexts may be nested.
install
With npm do:
npm install subarg
