Argh! Shiver me timbers. The timbers
library is a natural extension to argh
.
It allows you to easily transform short hand CLI flags into their long hand
counter parts.
Installation
The package is published to npm and can be installed by running:
npm install --save timbers
Usage
const timbers = require('timbers');
const argh = require('argh');
const defaults = {
cwd: process.cwd().
foo: 'bar'
};
const args = timbers([
'-c, --cwd'
], { ...defaults, ...argh.argv });
console.log(args);
//
// { cwd: process.cwd(), foo: 'bar' } // No values passed
// { cwd: 'bar', foo: 'bar' } // -c bar
// { cwd: 'bar', foo: 'bar' } // --cwd bar
//
While the library was designed with [argh] in mind, it will work with any object. It accepts the following arguments:
flags
, Array, An array of strings that contain the mapping of short to long flags. For example:-r, --require
. You can also map multiple short flags to a long flag:-r, -e, --require
.arg
, Object, Object with values that should be used as data source.
