A simple node.js module that helps adding named parameters to a node app call

You may use both '--' and '-' prefixes for your named parameters:

You may also pass unnamed parameters:

In your code:

var argv = require('named-argv');
console.log(argv.opts); // opts object contains all named parameters 
console.log(argv.params); // array, contains all unnamed parameters

Passing arrays to arguments? Yes, it's possible:

node myapp.js --optarr=val1 --optarr=val2 --optarr=val3
