The complete solution for [node.js](http://nodejs.org) command-line interfaces, inspired by Ruby's [commander](https://github.com/commander-rb/commander).
|
|||
|
[API documentation](http://tj.github.com/commander.js/)
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
## Installation
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
$ npm install commander
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
## Option parsing
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Options with commander are defined with the `.option()` method, also serving as documentation for the options. The example below parses args and options from `process.argv`, leaving remaining args as the `program.args` array which were not consumed by options.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
```js
|
|||
|
#!/usr/bin/env node
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
/**
|
|||
|
* Module dependencies.
|
|||
|
*/
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
var program = require('commander');
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
program
|
|||
|
.version('0.1.0')
|
|||
|
.option('-p, --peppers', 'Add peppers')
|
|||
|
.option('-P, --pineapple', 'Add pineapple')
|
|||
|
.option('-b, --bbq-sauce', 'Add bbq sauce')
|
|||
|
.option('-c, --cheese [type]', 'Add the specified type of cheese [marble]', 'marble')
|
|||
|
.parse(process.argv);
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
console.log('you ordered a pizza with:');
|
|||
|
if (program.peppers) console.log(' - peppers');
|
|||
|
if (program.pineapple) console.log(' - pineapple');
|
|||
|
if (program.bbqSauce) console.log(' - bbq');
|
|||
|
console.log(' - %s cheese', program.cheese);
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Short flags may be passed as a single arg, for example `-abc` is equivalent to `-a -b -c`. Multi-word options such as "--template-engine" are camel-cased, becoming `program.templateEngine` etc.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Note that multi-word options starting with `--no` prefix negate the boolean value of the following word. For example, `--no-sauce` sets the value of `program.sauce` to false.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
```js
|
|||
|
#!/usr/bin/env node
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
/**
|
|||
|
* Module dependencies.
|
|||
|
*/
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
var program = require('commander');
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
program
|
|||
|
.option('--no-sauce', 'Remove sauce')
|
|||
|
.parse(process.argv);
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
console.log('you ordered a pizza');
|
|||
|
if (program.sauce) console.log(' with sauce');
|
|||
|
else console.log(' without sauce');
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
To get string arguments from options you will need to use angle brackets <> for required inputs or square brackets [] for optional inputs.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
e.g. ```.option('-m --myarg [myVar]', 'my super cool description')```
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Then to access the input if it was passed in.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
e.g. ```var myInput = program.myarg```
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
**NOTE**: If you pass a argument without using brackets the example above will return true and not the value passed in.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
## Version option
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Calling the `version` implicitly adds the `-V` and `--version` options to the command.
|
|||
|
When either of these options is present, the command prints the version number and exits.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
$ ./examples/pizza -V
|
|||
|
0.0.1
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
If you want your program to respond to the `-v` option instead of the `-V` option, simply pass custom flags to the `version` method using the same syntax as the `option` method.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
```js
|
|||
|
program
|
|||
|
.version('0.0.1', '-v, --version')
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The version flags can be named anything, but the long option is required.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
## Command-specific options
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
You can attach options to a command.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
```js
|
|||
|
#!/usr/bin/env node
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
var program = require('commander');
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
program
|
|||
|
.command('rm <dir>')
|
|||
|
.option('-r, --recursive', 'Remove recursively')
|
|||
|
.action(function (dir, cmd) {
|
|||
|
console.log('remove ' + dir + (cmd.recursive ? ' recursively' : ''))
|
|||
|
})
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
program.parse(process.argv)
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
A command's options are validated when the command is used. Any unknown options will be reported as an error. However, if an action-based command does not define an action, then the options are not validated.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
## Coercion
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
```js
|
|||
|
function range(val) {
|
|||
|
return val.split('..').map(Number);
|
|||
|
}
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
function list(val) {
|
|||
|
return val.split(',');
|
|||
|
}
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
function collect(val, memo) {
|
|||
|
memo.push(val);
|
|||
|
return memo;
|
|||
|
}
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
function increaseVerbosity(v, total) {
|
|||
|
return total + 1;
|
|||
|
}
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
program
|
|||
|
.version('0.1.0')
|
|||
|
.usage('[options] <file ...>')
|
|||
|
.option('-i, --integer <n>', 'An integer argument', parseInt)
|
|||
|
.option('-f, --float <n>', 'A float argument', parseFloat)
|
|||
|
.option('-r, --range <a>..<b>', 'A range', range)
|
|||
|
.option('-l, --list <items>', 'A list', list)
|
|||
|
.option('-o, --optional [value]', 'An optional value')
|
|||
|
.option('-c, --collect [value]', 'A repeatable value', collect, [])
|
|||
|
.option('-v, --verbose', 'A value that can be increased', increaseVerbosity, 0)
|
|||
|
.parse(process.argv);
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
console.log(' int: %j', program.integer);
|
|||
|
console.log(' float: %j', program.float);
|
|||
|
console.log(' optional: %j', program.optional);
|
|||
|
program.range = program.range || [];
|
|||
|
console.log(' range: %j..%j', program.range[0], program.range[1]);
|
|||
|
console.log(' list: %j', program.list);
|
|||
|
console.log(' collect: %j', program.collect);
|
|||
|
console.log(' verbosity: %j', program.verbose);
|
|||
|
console.log(' args: %j', program.args);
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
## Regular Expression
|
|||
|
```js
|
|||
|
program
|
|||
|
.version('0.1.0')
|
|||
|
.option('-s --size <size>', 'Pizza size', /^(large|medium|small)$/i, 'medium')
|
|||
|
.option('-d --drink [drink]', 'Drink', /^(coke|pepsi|izze)$/i)
|
|||
|
.parse(process.argv);
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
console.log(' size: %j', program.size);
|
|||
|
console.log(' drink: %j', program.drink);
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
## Variadic arguments
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The last argument of a command can be variadic, and only the last argument. To make an argument variadic you have to
|
|||
|
append `...` to the argument name. Here is an example:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
```js
|
|||
|
#!/usr/bin/env node
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
/**
|
|||
|
* Module dependencies.
|
|||
|
*/
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
var program = require('commander');
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
program
|
|||
|
.version('0.1.0')
|
|||
|
.command('rmdir <dir> [otherDirs...]')
|
|||
|
.action(function (dir, otherDirs) {
|
|||
|
console.log('rmdir %s', dir);
|
|||
|
if (otherDirs) {
|
|||
|
otherDirs.forEach(function (oDir) {
|
|||
|
console.log('rmdir %s', oDir);
|
|||
|
});
|
|||
|
}
|
|||
|
});
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
program.parse(process.argv);
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
An `Array` is used for the value of a variadic argument. This applies to `program.args` as well as the argument passed
|
|||
|
to your action as demonstrated above.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
## Specify the argument syntax
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
```js
|
|||
|
#!/usr/bin/env node
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
var program = require('commander');
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
program
|
|||
|
.version('0.1.0')
|
|||
|
.arguments('<cmd> [env]')
|
|||
|
.action(function (cmd, env) {
|
|||
|
cmdValue = cmd;
|
|||
|
envValue = env;
|
|||
|
});
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
program.parse(process.argv);
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
if (typeof cmdValue === 'undefined') {
|
|||
|
console.error('no command given!');
|
|||
|
process.exit(1);
|
|||
|
}
|
|||
|
console.log('command:', cmdValue);
|
|||
|
console.log('environment:', envValue || "no environment given");
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
Angled brackets (e.g. `<cmd>`) indicate required input. Square brackets (e.g. `[env]`) indicate optional input.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
## Git-style sub-commands
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
```js
|
|||
|
// file: ./examples/pm
|
|||
|
var program = require('commander');
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
program
|
|||
|
.version('0.1.0')
|
|||
|
.command('install [name]', 'install one or more packages')
|
|||
|
.command('search [query]', 'search with optional query')
|
|||
|
.command('list', 'list packages installed', {isDefault: true})
|
|||
|
.parse(process.argv);
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
When `.command()` is invoked with a description argument, no `.action(callback)` should be called to handle sub-commands, otherwise there will be an error. This tells commander that you're going to use separate executables for sub-commands, much like `git(1)` and other popular tools.
|
|||
|
The commander will try to search the executables in the directory of the entry script (like `./examples/pm`) with the name `program-command`, like `pm-install`, `pm-search`.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Options can be passed with the call to `.command()`. Specifying `true` for `opts.noHelp` will remove the subcommand from the generated help output. Specifying `true` for `opts.isDefault` will run the subcommand if no other subcommand is specified.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
If the program is designed to be installed globally, make sure the executables have proper modes, like `755`.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
### `--harmony`
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
You can enable `--harmony` option in two ways:
|
|||
|
* Use `#! /usr/bin/env node --harmony` in the sub-commands scripts. Note some os version don’t support this pattern.
|
|||
|
* Use the `--harmony` option when call the command, like `node --harmony examples/pm publish`. The `--harmony` option will be preserved when spawning sub-command process.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
## Automated --help
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The help information is auto-generated based on the information commander already knows about your program, so the following `--help` info is for free:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
$ ./examples/pizza --help
|
|||
|
Usage: pizza [options]
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
An application for pizzas ordering
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Options:
|
|||
|
-h, --help output usage information
|
|||
|
-V, --version output the version number
|
|||
|
-p, --peppers Add peppers
|
|||
|
-P, --pineapple Add pineapple
|
|||
|
-b, --bbq Add bbq sauce
|
|||
|
-c, --cheese <type> Add the specified type of cheese [marble]
|
|||
|
-C, --no-cheese You do not want any cheese
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
## Custom help
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
You can display arbitrary `-h, --help` information
|
|||
|
by listening for "--help". Commander will automatically
|
|||
|
exit once you are done so that the remainder of your program
|
|||
|
does not execute causing undesired behaviors, for example
|
|||
|
in the following executable "stuff" will not output when
|
|||
|
`--help` is used.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
```js
|
|||
|
#!/usr/bin/env node
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
/**
|
|||
|
* Module dependencies.
|
|||
|
*/
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
var program = require('commander');
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
program
|
|||
|
.version('0.1.0')
|
|||
|
.option('-f, --foo', 'enable some foo')
|
|||
|
.option('-b, --bar', 'enable some bar')
|
|||
|
.option('-B, --baz', 'enable some baz');
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
// must be before .parse() since
|
|||
|
// node's emit() is immediate
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
program.on('--help', function(){
|
|||
|
console.log('')
|
|||
|
console.log('Examples:');
|
|||
|
console.log(' $ custom-help --help');
|
|||
|
console.log(' $ custom-help -h');
|
|||
|
});
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
program.parse(process.argv);
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
console.log('stuff');
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Yields the following help output when `node script-name.js -h` or `node script-name.js --help` are run:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
Usage: custom-help [options]
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Options:
|
|||
|
-h, --help output usage information
|
|||
|
-V, --version output the version number
|
|||
|
-f, --foo enable some foo
|
|||
|
-b, --bar enable some bar
|
|||
|
-B, --baz enable some baz
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Examples:
|
|||
|
$ custom-help --help
|
|||
|
$ custom-help -h
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
## .outputHelp(cb)
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Output help information without exiting.
|
|||
|
Optional callback cb allows post-processing of help text before it is displayed.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
If you want to display help by default (e.g. if no command was provided), you can use something like:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
```js
|
|||
|
var program = require('commander');
|
|||
|
var colors = require('colors');
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
program
|
|||
|
.version('0.1.0')
|
|||
|
.command('getstream [url]', 'get stream URL')
|
|||
|
.parse(process.argv);
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
if (!process.argv.slice(2).length) {
|
|||
|
program.outputHelp(make_red);
|
|||
|
}
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
function make_red(txt) {
|
|||
|
return colors.red(txt); //display the help text in red on the console
|
|||
|
}
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
## .help(cb)
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Output help information and exit immediately.
|
|||
|
Optional callback cb allows post-processing of help text before it is displayed.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
## Custom event listeners
|
|||
|
You can execute custom actions by listening to command and option events.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
```js
|
|||
|
program.on('option:verbose', function () {
|
|||
|
process.env.VERBOSE = this.verbose;
|
|||
|
});
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
// error on unknown commands
|
|||
|
program.on('command:*', function () {
|
|||
|
console.error('Invalid command: %s\nSee --help for a list of available commands.', program.args.join(' '));
|
|||
|
process.exit(1);
|
|||
|
});
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|||
|

|
});
|
|||
|
|

|
program.parse(process.argv);
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
