deno.land / std@0.91.0 / flags
Command line arguments parser for Deno based on minimist.
import { parse } from "https://deno.land/std@0.91.0/flags/mod.ts";
console.dir(parse(Deno.args));
$ deno run https://deno.land/std/examples/flags.ts -a beep -b boop
{ _: [], a: 'beep', b: 'boop' }
$ deno run https://deno.land/std/examples/flags.ts -x 3 -y 4 -n5 -abc --beep=boop foo bar baz
{ _: [ 'foo', 'bar', 'baz' ],
x: 3,
y: 4,
n: 5,
a: true,
b: true,
c: true,
beep: 'boop' }
parsedArgs._
contains all the arguments that didn't have an option associated
with them.
Numeric-looking arguments will be returned as numbers unless options.string
or
options.boolean
is set for that argument name.
Any arguments after '--'
will not be parsed and will end up in parsedArgs._
.
options can be:
options.string
- a string or array of strings argument names to always treat
as strings.options.boolean
- a boolean, string or array of strings to always treat as
booleans. if true
will treat all double hyphenated arguments without equal
signs as boolean (e.g. affects --foo
, not -f
or --foo=bar
).options.alias
- an object mapping string names to strings or arrays of
string argument names to use as aliases.options.default
- an object mapping string argument names to default values.options.stopEarly
- when true, populate parsedArgs._
with everything after
the first non-option.options['--']
- when true, populate parsedArgs._
with everything before
the --
and parsedArgs['--']
with everything after the --
. Here's an
example:// $ deno run example.ts -- a arg1
import { parse } from "https://deno.land/std@0.91.0/flags/mod.ts";
console.dir(parse(Deno.args, { "--": false }));
// output: { _: [ "a", "arg1" ] }
console.dir(parse(Deno.args, { "--": true }));
// output: { _: [], --: [ "a", "arg1" ] }
options.unknown
- a function which is invoked with a command line parameter
not defined in the options
configuration object. If the function returns
false
, the unknown option is not added to parsedArgs
