|
|

This module is the guts of optimist's argument parser without all the
|
||
|
|
fanciful decoration.

# methods
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
``` js
|
||
|
|
var parseArgs = require('minimist')
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## var argv = parseArgs(args, opts={})
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Return an argument object `argv` populated with the array arguments from `args`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`argv._` contains all the arguments that didn't have an option associated with
|
||
|
|
them.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Numeric-looking arguments will be returned as numbers unless `opts.string` or
|
||
|
|
`opts.boolean` is set for that argument name.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Any arguments after `'--'` will not be parsed and will end up in `argv._`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
options can be:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* `opts.string` - a string or array of strings argument names to always treat as
|
||
|
|
strings
|
||
|
|
* `opts.boolean` - a string or array of strings to always treat as booleans
|
||
|
|
* `opts.alias` - an object mapping string names to strings or arrays of string
|
||
|
|
argument names to use as aliases
|
||
|
|
* `opts.default` - an object mapping string argument names to default values
|
