|
|
Converts back a `yargs` argv object to its original array form.
|
|
|
|
Probably the unparser word doesn't even exist, but it sounds nice and goes well with [yargs-parser](https://github.com/yargs/yargs-parser).
|
|
|
|
The code originally lived in [MOXY](https://github.com/moxystudio)'s GitHub but was later moved here for discoverability.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
`$ npm install yargs-unparser`
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const parse = require('yargs-parser');
|
|
const unparse = require('yargs-unparser');
|
|
|
|
const argv = parse(['--no-boolean', '--number', '4', '--string', 'foo'], {
|
|
boolean: ['boolean'],
|
|
number: ['number'],
|
|
string: ['string'],
|
|
});
|
|
// { boolean: false, number: 4, string: 'foo', _: [] }
|
|
|
|
const unparsedArgv = unparse(argv);
|
|
// ['--no-boolean', '--number', '4', '--string', 'foo'];
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The second argument of `unparse` accepts an options object:
|
|
|
|
- `alias`: The [aliases](https://github.com/yargs/yargs-parser#requireyargs-parserargs-opts) so that duplicate options aren't generated
|
|
- `default`: The [default](https://github.com/yargs/yargs-parser#requireyargs-parserargs-opts) values so that the options with default values are omitted
|
|
- `command`: The [command](https://github.com/yargs/yargs/blob/master/docs/advanced.md#commands) first argument so that command names and positional arguments are handled correctly
|
|
|
|
### Example with `command` options
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const yargs = require('yargs');
|
|
const unparse = require('yargs-unparser');
|
|
|
|
const argv = yargs
|
|
.command('my-command <positional>', 'My awesome command', (yargs) =>
|
|
yargs
|
|
.option('boolean', { type: 'boolean' })
|
|
.option('number', { type: 'number' })
|
|
.option('string', { type: 'string' })
|
|
)
|
|
.parse(['my-command', 'hello', '--no-boolean', '--number', '4', '--string', 'foo']);
|
|
// { positional: 'hello', boolean: false, number: 4, string: 'foo', _: ['my-command'] }
|
|
|
|
const unparsedArgv = unparse(argv, {
|
|
command: 'my-command <positional>',
|
|
});
|
|
// ['my-command', 'hello', '--no-boolean', '--number', '4', '--string', 'foo'];
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Caveats
|
|
|
|
The returned array can be parsed again by `yargs-parser` using the default configuration. If you used custom configuration that you want `yargs-unparser` to be aware, please fill an [issue](https://github.com/yargs/yargs-unparser/issues).
|
|
|
|
If you `coerce` in weird ways, things might not work correctly.
