methods

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

install

With npm do:

npm install minimist
