argparser

This is a small library that makes it easier for you to parse command line arguments.

This project is created because of the need for a good, easy to use and straight forward arg parser in go.

It is heavily inspired by akamensky's argparse library that I've used heavily in all my cli projects. The only reason I wanted to create my own was because of some quirks I find kind of annoying, like the usage of positional arguments and lists.

Installation

To install and use argparser run:

$ go get github.com/mikeunge/argparser

Usage

argparser has a nice caviat to it, if a flag is detected, it parses TIL another flag is encountered. This means, you can do something like: $ mycli --foo some strings --bar also some strings, this will get parsed as foo=[some, string] & bar=[also, some, string]. It might seem obvious but this is an issue I had with akamensky's parser and optionals weren't an option.
