commandy

If you want to create a command line app which is hard to make with minimist, but don't want the syntactic sugar overdose which commander.js gives, this package is for you.

Demo

const {Program} = require('../');
 
const checkoutProgram = new Program();
 
const orderProgram = new Program([
    ['p', 'pepperoni'],
    ['c', 'cheese'],
    ['h', 'ham']
])
 
const pizzaProgram = new Program({
    checkout: checkoutProgram,
    order: orderProgram
});
 
const margaretaCheckout = pizzaProgram.parse(['checkout','margareta']);
console.log(margaretaCheckout.program === checkoutProgram);
// => true
console.log(margaretaCheckout.args)
// => [ 'margareta' ]
 
const order = pizzaProgram.parse(['order','-ch','hawaii','-c','--pepperoni=little'])
console.log(order.args);
// => [ 'hawaii' ]
console.log(order.options.cheese);
// => [ true, true ]
console.log(order.options.ham);
// => [ true ]
console.log(order.options.pepperoni);
// => [ 'little' ]
