String args parser

A small utility to parse a string into an argument array in a really permissive way with the possibility to use quotes.

import { parseArgs } from 'string-args-parser'

console.log(parseArgs('foo "bar baz" "\\"qux\\" in quotes"'))
// will print: ['foo', 'bar baz', '"qux" in quotes']

Examples

| input | output | | :------------------- | :------------------------ | | foo␣bar␣baz | ['foo', 'bar', 'baz'] | | foo␣"bar␣baz" | ['foo', 'bar baz'] | | foo␣"bar␣baz"␣"" | ['foo', 'bar baz', ''] | | foo␣"bar␣\"baz\"" | ['foo', 'bar "baz"'] | | foo␣"bar␣baz | ['foo', '"bar', 'baz'] | | foo␣"bar"baz | ['foo', '"bar"baz'] | | foo␣"ba\\r"␣baz | ['foo', 'ba\\r', 'baz'] | | foo␣"ba\r"␣baz | ['foo', 'ba\\r', 'baz'] | | ␣foo␣␣␣␣bar␣␣baz␣␣ | ['foo', 'bar', 'baz'] | | ␣foo␣"␣bar"␣␣␣baz␣ | ['foo', ' bar', 'baz'] |
