• bash-completion shortcuts for commands and options.
• and tons more.

Installation

npm i yargs --save

Simple Example

#!/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!')
}

$ ./plunder.js --ships=4 --distance=22
Plunder more riffiwobbles!

$ ./plunder.js --ships 12 --distance 98.7
Retreat from the xupptumblers!

Complex Example

#!/usr/bin/env node
const yargs = require('yargs') // eslint-disable-line
  .command('serve', 'start the server', (yargs) => {

  .option('verbose', {
    alias: 'v',
    default: false
