Docs

listify()

Takes a string input and converts it into an array.

First argument: input string
Second argument: output array

add()

Adds a token and a callback function, throws an error if there isn't a function.

First argument: the token
Second argument: callback function

parse()

Parses the input and executes the function if the token is present.
If it finds an unknown token it calls the error() function (see below).

First argument: the input, default is from argv

error()

Error function called from parse()

First argument: callback function called on error,

the callback function must take 1 argument that the parse() function

will use to pass the unknown token

help()

Function used by user to override the

default help function.

First argument: callback function

getArgs()

Get arguments from a specified array

First argument: how many arguments to return

Second argument: from what array to get the arguments, default is argv

ignore()

Ignore errors thrown by parse().

First argument: how many errors to ignore.

Putting -1 will suppress all errors

Examples

'''

const parse = require('@nonamenpm/text-parser')

var test_string = 'foo bar'

parse.error((token) => {

console.log('This is an error: ' + token)

})

parse.add('foo', () => {

console.log('bar')

})

parse.parse(test_string)

'''

In this case, the output will be: bar

This is an error: bar
