import { parse } from "https://deno.land/x/johnny_decimal@1.1.1/deps.ts";
Take a set of command line arguments, optionally with a set of options, and return an object representing the flags found in the passed arguments.
By default, any arguments starting with -
or --
are considered boolean
flags. If the argument name is followed by an equal sign (=
) it is
considered a key-value pair. Any arguments which could not be parsed are
available in the _
property of the returned object.
By default, the flags module tries to determine the type of all arguments
automatically and the return type of the parse
method will have an index
signature with any
as value ({ [x: string]: any }
).
If the string
, boolean
or collect
option is set, the return value of
the parse
method will be fully typed and the index signature of the return
type will change to { [x: string]: unknown }
.
Any arguments after '--'
will not be parsed and will end up in parsedArgs._
.
Numeric-looking arguments will be returned as numbers unless options.string
or options.boolean
is set for that argument name.
