A package containing relevant CLI actions
npm install cli-argument-parsernpm i cli-argument-parser
import { cliArguments } from 'cli-argument-parser';
const arg1 = cliArguments.arg1;
const arg2 = cliArguments.arg2;
`
Run a cli with arg1 and arg2, ie: my-command --arg1=2 --arg2=1
And the values will be inside the variables we declared above.:speak_no_evil: Configurate unique CLI's
$3
Create a file in the root of your project called cli.config.json
and paste the following into it:
`
{
prefix: '--',
separator: '='
}
`
The prefix is a value which the argument must start with, -- is the default one. (ex: --arg=5)
The separator is a value which seperated between the argument name and argument value. = is the default one. (ex: --arg=5)
This gives you the abillity to configurate your cli arguments as you wish.

If additional files are a mess in your opinion, it is also possible to pass the CLI configuration via CLI arguments.
--cli-prefix to configurate the CLI prefix, ie: --cli-prefix=--
--cli-separator to configurate the CLI separator, ie: --cli-separator==$3
Instead of using the existing cliArguments, you are able to also create a custom one, using the following code snippet:
`
import { filterArguments } from 'cli-argument-parser';
const arguments = filterArguments('--', '=');
`
The arguments variable will hold a JS object with arguments (just like cliArguments`) filtered by defined prefix and separator .
