Command line arguments
just-task uses the best pirate themed command line argument library ever: yargs, matey! So, rigs get documented pretty much automatically. However, tasks can customize the arguments that are accepted. just-task exposes these via this.argv inside a task function.
Reading arguments
-To read the arguments passed in from command line, use the argv() function provided by yargs.
const { task, argv } = require('just-task');
-
-task('pillageMeArgs', function() {
- logger.info('a bunch of aarrrrrrgs', argv());
-});
-Describe the task with option()
-const { task, logger, option, argv } = require('just-task');
-
-option('name');
-
-task('blimey', 'An exclamation of surprise.', function() {
- logger.info(`blimey! ${argv().name}`);
-});
-The option() function is the same one exposed by yargs.option() - so you can look up that option() documentation for what is possible.
Automatically Generated Task Help Usage
-If you describe the task in this fashion, you can get a list of tasks with descriptions like this:
-just --help
-just blimey --help
-
