gar

The lightweight Node arguments parser

GitHub | NPM

Install

npm i gar

Use

const args = require('gar')(process.argv.slice(2))

console.log(args)

So for: -h hey --toggle -ac --hey=hi -spaced "hey there" -num 1 lone

{
    "h": "hey",
    "toggle": true,
    "a": true,
    "c": true,
    "hey": "hi",
    "spaced": "hey there",
    "num": 1,
    "_": ["lone"]
}

Why use gar?

gar is way more lightweight than other argument parsing packages.
