# argv
argv is a nodejs module that does command line argument parsing.
[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/codenothing/argv.png?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/codenothing/argv)
### Installation
```bash
$ npm install argv
```
### Usage
```js
var argv = require( 'argv' );
var args = argv.option( options ).run();
-> { targets: [], options: {} }
```
### Run
Runs the argument parser on the global arguments. Custom arguments array can be used by passing into this method
```js
// Parses default arguments 'process.argv.slice( 2 )'
argv.run();
// Parses array instead
argv.run([ '--option=123', '-o', '123' ]);
```
### Options
argv is a strict argument parser, which means all options must be defined before parsing starts.
```js
argv.option({
name: 'option',
short: 'o',
type: 'string',
description: 'Defines an option for your script',
example: "'script --opiton=value' or 'script -o value'"
});
```
### Modules
Modules are nested commands for more complicated scripts. Each module has it's own set of options that
have to be defined independently of the root options.
```js
argv.mod({
mod: 'module',
description: 'Description of what the module is used for',
options: [ list of options ]
});
```
### Types
Types convert option values to useful js objects. They are defined along with each option.
* **string**: Ensure values are strings
* **path**: Converts value into a fully resolved path.
* **int**: Converts value into an integer
* **float**: Converts value into a float number
* **boolean**: Converts value into a boolean object. 'true' and '1' are converted to true, everything else is false.
* **csv**: Converts value into an array by splitting on comma's.
* **list**: Allows for option to be defined multiple times, and each value added to an array
* **[list|csv],[type]**: Combo type that allows you to create a list or csv and convert each individual value into a type.
```js
argv.option([
{
name: 'option',
type: 'csv,int'
},
{
name: 'path',
short: 'p',
type: 'list,path'
}
]);
// csv and int combo
$ script --option=123,456.001,789.01
-> option: [ 123, 456, 789 ]
// list and path combo
$ script -p /path/to/file1 -p /path/to/file2
-> option: [ '/path/to/file1', '/path/to/file2' ]
```
You can also create your own custom type for special conversions.
```js
argv.type( 'squared', function( value ) {
value = parseFloat( value );
return value * value;
});
argv.option({
name: 'square',
short: 's',
type: 'squared'
});
$ script -s 2
-> 4
```
### Version
Defining the scripts version number will add the version option and print it out when asked.
```js
argv.version( 'v1.0' );
$ script --version
v1.0
```
### Info
Custom information can be displayed at the top of the help printout using this method
```js
argv.info( 'Special script info' );
$ script --help
Special script info
... Rest of Help Doc ...
```
### Clear
If you have competing scripts accessing the argv object, you can clear out any previous options that may have been set.
```js
argv.clear().option( [new options] );
```
### Help
argv injects a default help option initially and on clears. The help() method triggers the help printout.
```js
argv.help();
```
