Options in variadic arguments about deno-cliffy HOT 6 CLOSED

Hey @umbopepato,

in v0.9.0 is now a new way to resolve your issue. You can use .stopEarly() instead of .useRawArgs(). If stopEarly is enabled, all arguments, starting from the first non option argument, will be interpreted as raw argument.
In contrast to .useRawArgs() the --help and --version option will still work.

Hi @umbopepato,

There is an undocumented method useRawArgs() which you can try to use. But it is not fully tested. useRawArgs() disables the parsing and validation of all arguments for the command on which it was called.

Here is an example:

import { Command } from 'https://deno.land/x/[email protected]/command.ts';

await new Command()
  .command('mysubcmd [myarg] [otherArgs...]')
  .useRawArgs()
  .action((options, ...args) => {
    console.log(options, args);
  })
  .parse(Deno.args);

$ deno run raw-args.ts mysubcmd myarg other args and --options
{} [ "myarg", "other", "args", "and", "--options" ]

Another way could be to use literal arguments:

mycmd --myoption mysubcmd myarg -- other args and --options
                                ^--

All arguments after -- will be ignored by cliffy. But at the moment the literal argument will not be passed to the action handler or returned by the .parse() method. I have already an issue for that #26. So you have to access Deno.args by your self to get them atm.

I was literally going to ask you if something like useRawArgs() existed, that's perfect! Also because I'm explicitly trying to avoid the -- separator.

Thanks @c4spar 🙂
