## Description :
|
||
|
|
Yargs helps you build interactive command line tools, by parsing arguments and generating an elegant user interface.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It gives you:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* commands and (grouped) options (`my-program.js serve --port=5000`).
|
||
|
|
* a dynamically generated help menu based on your arguments.

|

|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* bash-completion shortcuts for commands and options.
|
||
|
|
* and [tons more](/docs/api.md).
