CLIGetArgs

This method will parse the cli arguments and return a struct of the following:

• options - A struct of the options

• positionals - An array of the positional arguments

The options can be provided in the following formats:

• --option - A boolean option

• --option=value - An option with a value

• --option="value" - An option with a quoted value

• --option='value' - An option with a quoted value

• -o=value - A shorthand option with a value

• -o - A shorthand boolean option

• --!option - A negation option

For example, the following cli arguments:

 --debug --!verbose --bundles=Spec -o='/path/to/file' -v my/path/template
 

Will be parsed into the following struct:

 {
 "options" :  {
    	"debug": true,
   	"verbose": false,
  	"bundles": "Spec",
 	   	"o": "/path/to/file",
 	   	"v": true
 },
 "positionals": [ "my/path/template" ]
 

Some Ground Rules

• Options are prefixed with --

• Shorthand options are prefixed with -

• Options can be negated with --! or --no-

• Options can have values separated by =

• Values can be quoted with single or double quotes

• Repeated options will override the previous value
