# DEPRECATION NOTICE
|
|
|
|
I don't want to maintain this module anymore since I just use
|
|
[minimist](https://npmjs.org/package/minimist), the argument parsing engine,
|
|
directly instead nowadays.
|
|
|
|
See [yargs](https://github.com/chevex/yargs) for the modern, pirate-themed
|
|
successor to optimist.
|
|
|
|
[](https://github.com/chevex/yargs)
|
|
|
|
You should also consider [nomnom](https://github.com/harthur/nomnom).
|
|
|
|
optimist
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
Optimist is a node.js library for option parsing for people who hate option
|
|
parsing. More specifically, this module is for people who like all the --bells
|
|
and -whistlz of program usage but think optstrings are a waste of time.
|
|
|
|
With optimist, option parsing doesn't have to suck (as much).

|

examples
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
With Optimist, the options are just a hash! No optstrings attached.
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
xup.js:
|
|
|
|
````javascript
|
|
#!/usr/bin/env node
|
|
var argv = require('optimist').argv;
|
|
|
|
if (argv.rif - 5 * argv.xup > 7.138) {
|
|
console.log('Buy more riffiwobbles');
|
|
}
|
|
else {
|
|
console.log('Sell the xupptumblers');
|
|
}
|
|
````
|
|
|
|
***
|
|
|
|
$ ./xup.js --rif=55 --xup=9.52
|
|
Buy more riffiwobbles
|
|
|
|
$ ./xup.js --rif 12 --xup 8.1
|
|
Sell the xupptumblers
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
But wait! There's more! You can do short options:
|
|
-------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
short.js:
|
|
|
|
````javascript
|
|
#!/usr/bin/env node
|
|
var argv = require('optimist').argv;
|
|
console.log('(%d,%d)', argv.x, argv.y);
|
|
````
|
|
|
|
***
|
|
|
|
$ ./short.js -x 10 -y 21
|
|
(10,21)
|
|
|
|
And booleans, both long and short (and grouped):
|
|
----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
bool.js:
|
|
|
|
````javascript
|
|
#!/usr/bin/env node
|
|
var util = require('util');
|
|
var argv = require('optimist').argv;
|
|
|
|
if (argv.s) {
|
|
util.print(argv.fr ? 'Le chat dit: ' : 'The cat says: ');
|
|
}
|
|
console.log(
|
|
(argv.fr ? 'miaou' : 'meow') + (argv.p ? '.' : '')
|
|
);
|
|
````
|
|
|
|
***
|
|
|
|
$ ./bool.js -s
|
|
The cat says: meow
|
|
|
|
$ ./bool.js -sp
|
|
The cat says: meow.
|
|
|
|
$ ./bool.js -sp --fr
|
|
Le chat dit: miaou.
|
|
|
|
And non-hypenated options too! Just use `argv._`!
|
|
-------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
nonopt.js:
|
|
|
|
````javascript
|
|
#!/usr/bin/env node
|
|
var argv = require('optimist').argv;
|
|
console.log('(%d,%d)', argv.x, argv.y);
|
|
console.log(argv._);
|
|
````
|
|
|
|
***
|
|
|
|
$ ./nonopt.js -x 6.82 -y 3.35 moo
|
|
(6.82,3.35)
|
|
[ 'moo' ]
|
|
|
|
$ ./nonopt.js foo -x 0.54 bar -y 1.12 baz
|
|
(0.54,1.12)
|
|
[ 'foo', 'bar', 'baz' ]
|
|
|
|
Plus, Optimist comes with .usage() and .demand()!
|
|
-------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
divide.js:
|
|
|
|
````javascript
|
|
#!/usr/bin/env node
|
|
var argv = require('optimist')
|
|
.usage('Usage: $0 -x [num] -y [num]')
|
|
.demand(['x','y'])
|
|
.argv;
|
|
|
|
console.log(argv.x / argv.y);
|
|
````
|
|
|
|
***

|
|
|
|
EVEN MORE HOLY COW
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
default_singles.js:
|
|
|
|
````javascript
|
|
#!/usr/bin/env node
|

out how to format a handy help string automatically.

methods
|
|
=======
|
|
|
|
By itself,
|
|
|
|
````javascript
|
|
require('optimist').argv
|
|
`````
|
|
|
|
will use `process.argv` array to construct the `argv` object.
|
|
|
|
You can pass in the `process.argv` yourself:
|
|
|
|
````javascript
|
|
require('optimist')([ '-x', '1', '-y', '2' ]).argv
|
|
````
|
|
|
|
or use .parse() to do the same thing:
|
|
|
|
````javascript
|
|
require('optimist').parse([ '-x', '1', '-y', '2' ])
|
|
````
|
|
|
|
The rest of these methods below come in just before the terminating `.argv`.
|
|
|
|
.alias(key, alias)
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
Set key names as equivalent such that updates to a key will propagate to aliases
|
|
and vice-versa.
|
|
|
|
Optionally `.alias()` can take an object that maps keys to aliases.
|
|
|
|
.default(key, value)
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
Set `argv[key]` to `value` if no option was specified on `process.argv`.
|
|
|
|
Optionally `.default()` can take an object that maps keys to default values.
|
|
|
|
.demand(key)
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
If `key` is a string, show the usage information and exit if `key` wasn't
|
|
specified in `process.argv`.
|
|
|
|
If `key` is a number, demand at least as many non-option arguments, which show
|
|
up in `argv._`.
|
|
|
|
If `key` is an Array, demand each element.
|
|
|
|
.describe(key, desc)
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
Describe a `key` for the generated usage information.
|
|
|
|
Optionally `.describe()` can take an object that maps keys to descriptions.
|
|
|
|
.options(key, opt)
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
Instead of chaining together `.alias().demand().default()`, you can specify
|
|
keys in `opt` for each of the chainable methods.
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
````javascript
|
|
var argv = require('optimist')
|
|
.options('f', {
|
|
alias : 'file',
|
|
default : '/etc/passwd',
|
|
})
|
|
.argv
|
|
;
|
|
````
|
|
|
|
is the same as
|
|
|
|
````javascript
|
|
var argv = require('optimist')
|
|
.alias('f', 'file')
|
|
.default('f', '/etc/passwd')
|
|
.argv
|
|
;
|
|
````
|
|
|
|
Optionally `.options()` can take an object that maps keys to `opt` parameters.
|
|
|
|
.usage(message)
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
Set a usage message to show which commands to use. Inside `message`, the string
|
|
`$0` will get interpolated to the current script name or node command for the
|
|
present script similar to how `$0` works in bash or perl.
|
|
|
|
.check(fn)
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
Check that certain conditions are met in the provided arguments.
|
|
|
|
If `fn` throws or returns `false`, show the thrown error, usage information, and
|
|
exit.
|
|
|
|
.boolean(key)
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
Interpret `key` as a boolean. If a non-flag option follows `key` in
|
|
`process.argv`, that string won't get set as the value of `key`.
|
|
|
|
If `key` never shows up as a flag in `process.arguments`, `argv[key]` will be
|
|
`false`.
|
|
|
|
If `key` is an Array, interpret all the elements as booleans.
|
|
|
|
.string(key)
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
Tell the parser logic not to interpret `key` as a number or boolean.
|
|
This can be useful if you need to preserve leading zeros in an input.
|
|
|
|
If `key` is an Array, interpret all the elements as strings.
|
|
|
|
.wrap(columns)
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
Format usage output to wrap at `columns` many columns.
|
|
|
|
.help()
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
Return the generated usage string.
|
|
|
|
.showHelp(fn=console.error)
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
Print the usage data using `fn` for printing.
|
|
|
|
.parse(args)
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
Parse `args` instead of `process.argv`. Returns the `argv` object.
|
|
|
|
.argv
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
Get the arguments as a plain old object.
|
|
|
|
Arguments without a corresponding flag show up in the `argv._` array.
|
|
|
|
The script name or node command is available at `argv.$0` similarly to how `$0`
|
|
works in bash or perl.
|
|
|
|
parsing tricks
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
stop parsing
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
Use `--` to stop parsing flags and stuff the remainder into `argv._`.
|
|
|
|
$ node examples/reflect.js -a 1 -b 2 -- -c 3 -d 4
|
|
{ _: [ '-c', '3', '-d', '4' ],
|
|
'$0': 'node ./examples/reflect.js',
|
|
a: 1,
|
|
b: 2 }
|
|
|
|
negate fields
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
If you want to explicity set a field to false instead of just leaving it
|
|
undefined or to override a default you can do `--no-key`.
|
|
|
|
$ node examples/reflect.js -a --no-b
|
|
{ _: [],
|
|
'$0': 'node ./examples/reflect.js',
|
|
a: true,
|
|
b: false }
|
|
|
|
numbers
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
Every argument that looks like a number (`!isNaN(Number(arg))`) is converted to
|
|
one. This way you can just `net.createConnection(argv.port)` and you can add
|
|
numbers out of `argv` with `+` without having that mean concatenation,
|
|
which is super frustrating.
|
|
|
|
duplicates
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
If you specify a flag multiple times it will get turned into an array containing
|
|
all the values in order.
|
|
|
|
$ node examples/reflect.js -x 5 -x 8 -x 0
|
|
{ _: [],
|
|
'$0': 'node ./examples/reflect.js',
|
|
x: [ 5, 8, 0 ] }
|
|
|
|
dot notation
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
When you use dots (`.`s) in argument names, an implicit object path is assumed.
|
|
This lets you organize arguments into nested objects.
|
|
|
|
$ node examples/reflect.js --foo.bar.baz=33 --foo.quux=5
|
|
{ _: [],
|
|
'$0': 'node ./examples/reflect.js',
|
|
foo: { bar: { baz: 33 }, quux: 5 } }
|
|
|
|
short numbers
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
Short numeric `head -n5` style argument work too:
|
|
|
|
$ node reflect.js -n123 -m456
|
|
{ '3': true,
|
|
'6': true,
|
|
_: [],
|
|
'$0': 'node ./reflect.js',
|
|
n: 123,
|
|
m: 456 }
|
|
|
|
