🔧 A small cmd line arg parser

parse(exp: string): Result;

import { parse } from 'x/args';

const args = parse('command --key=value -ab');

console.log(args);
// {
//   ok: true,
//   value: [
//     { value: 'command' },
//     { key: 'key', value: 'value' },
//     { key: 'a', value: true },
//     { key: 'b', value: true },
//   ],
//   error: null
// }

• -- argument is treated as a separator between options and positional arguments. All arguments after -- are treated as positional arguments and aren't parsed as options.

• Short form options can be combined, e.g. -abc is equivalent to -a -b -c.

• Long form options with values can either be separated by unlimited space chracaters, or one equal sign. E.g. --key value or --key=value. If more than one equal sign is present, the first one is used as the separator, and second as part of the value.

• Options can appear in any order and be supplied multiple times.

• When using a short form option combined with a value -o foo, given the no-config style of the library, you are unable to use the shorthand for the value -ofoo, as the parser is unaware of short form option declarations.

Feel free to open an issue or a pull request if you have any suggestions or changes you'd like to see. I would very much appreciate it. Leaving a star is also a great way to show your support.
