How to pass parameters to a script processed by ts-node
I just started ts-node utilizing. It is the a very convenient tool. Run time looks clear. But it does not work for CLI solutions. I can not pass arguments into a script compiled.
ts-node --preserve-symlinks src/cli.ts -- printer:A
It does not work. I am asking for a help.
Answer
You did not provide your script, so I can only guess at how you are extracting the arguments. This is how I have made it work with my own test script args.ts:
const a = process.argv[2];
const b = process.argv[3];
const c = process.argv[4];
console.log(`a: '${a}', b: '${b}', c: '${c}'`);
Called from package.json like this:
"scripts": {
"args": "ts-node ./args.ts -- 4 2 printer:A"
}
This will give me output like this:
a: '4', b: '2', c: 'printer:A'
