optArgs

optArgs is a simple way to manage multiple typed optional arguments to javascript functions.

npm test to perform tests

Using optArgs

• Require the package like this: var getOptArgs = require('optargs')
• the main function takes 3 arguments, the calling function's arguments object, the number of non-optional arguments that the calling function takes (technically all arguments are optional in JS), and finally a list of strings representing the optional arguments that you are expecting. This list should be of the format ['name1:type1', 'name2:type2'].
• the optArgs function will then return an object that contains all of the optional arguments that it found of the correct type.
  • this should look like var optArgs = getOptArgs(arguments, 2, ['address:string']);if you have a function that has two non-optional arguments and is expecting a potential third argument that we will call address.
  • you would then access address like optArgs['address']
