## Description :
Yargs helps you build interactive command line tools, by parsing arguments and generating an elegant user interface.
It gives you:
* commands and (grouped) options (`my-program.js serve --port=5000`).
* a dynamically generated help menu based on your arguments.
> <img width="400" src="/screen.png">
* bash-completion shortcuts for commands and options.
* and [tons more](/docs/api.md).
## Installation
```bash
npm i yargs --save
```
## Usage :
### Simple Example
````javascript
#!/usr/bin/env node
const argv = require('yargs').argv
if (argv.ships > 3 && argv.distance < 53.5) {
console.log('Plunder more riffiwobbles!')
} else {
console.log('Retreat from the xupptumblers!')
}
````
```bash
$ ./plunder.js --ships=4 --distance=22
Plunder more riffiwobbles!
$ ./plunder.js --ships 12 --distance 98.7
Retreat from the xupptumblers!
```
### Complex Example
```javascript
#!/usr/bin/env node
require('yargs') // eslint-disable-line
.command('serve [port]', 'start the server', (yargs) => {
yargs
.positional('port', {
describe: 'port to bind on',
default: 5000
})
}, (argv) => {
if (argv.verbose) console.info(`start server on :${argv.port}`)
serve(argv.port)
})
.option('verbose', {
alias: 'v',
default: false
})
.argv
```
Run the example above with `--help` to see the help for the application.
