nimble install bossy

API reference

Bossy is a simple repo that makes working with command line arguments a little easier.

All Bossy does is parse the command line arguments using std/parseopt and give you a simpler interface to work with.

Bossy is great for supporting command line parameters without any magic.

If you want a powerful library for building command line interfaces, Bossy currently isn't that. There are other options on Nimble.

import bossy

## Get the command line arguments, parsed by Bossy
let args = getCommandLineArgs()

## Check if an argument is present
echo "flag" in args

## Get the value for an argument
echo args["port"]

## Get the value for an argument, or use a default value
echo args.getOrDefault("port", "8080")
