best way to catch arguments

[vjonas]

Hey all

What would be the best way to catch variables passed in on the script.mjs file?
ex:
zx script.mjs --environment dev
or
zx script.mjs dev

Cheers

It depends.

Could you provide an example on how to get the parameter in the js code?

Is it as simple as:

await $mkdir $0 ?

[antonmedv]

No.

[vjonas]

Any tips on how to manage that?

You can do this something like:

const action = argv["action"] || process.env.ACTION
const app = argv["app"] || process.env.APP
const namespace = argv["namespace"] || process.env.NAMESPACE

if (!app) { throw new Error("Argument --app or envirornment variable APP not set") }
if (!namespace) { throw new Error("Argument --namespace or envirornment variable NAMESPACE not set") }

./thing.mjs --action blah ....
