Parser Only

This example demonstrates how to use @cli-forge/parser to interpret CLI arguments without the need for a CLI framework. For single-command CLIs, this may be enough.

Code​

Parser Only
import { parser } from '@cli-forge/parser';

const argv = parser()
  .option('name', {
    type: 'string',
    description: 'The name to say hello to',
    default: 'World',
  })
  .parse(process.argv.slice(2));

console.log(`Hello, ${argv.name}!`);
