Run npm 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.

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==

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 .
