minimist-reverse

The reverse of minimist. This module is meant to construct arguments for running other cli programs.

There are multiple other modules that does this.

• dargs
• maximist
• tsiminim

This module differs in that it structures the arguments in a specific way. It also includes the _ key values, first in the output. That might very well NOT be what you want. It also outputs a string.

NOTE You probably want to use dargs instead of this module!

Install

npm install minimist-reverse

Use

var minimist = require('minimist')
var mreverse = require('minimist-reverse')

var argv = ['cmd','-a','--foo=bar'] 
assert.equal(mreverse(minimist(argv)), argv.join(' ')) 

var options = {
    _: ['cmd'],
    a: 1,
    b: 'b',
    c: true,
    d: true,
    yay: false,
    foo: [1,2],
    bar: 'baz',
    bad: 'nevah'
})
var excludes = ['bad']
console.log(mreverse(options, excludes))
// => cmd -cd -a=1 -b=b --no-yay --foo=1 --foo=2 --bar=baz
