String args parser

A small utility to parse a string into an argument array in a really permissive way with the possibility to use quotes.

import { parseArgs } from 'string-args-parser'

console.log(parseArgs('foo "bar baz" "\\"qux\\" in quotes"'))
// will print: ['foo', 'bar baz', '"qux" in quotes']

Examples

input	output
foo␣bar␣baz	['foo', 'bar', 'baz']
foo␣"bar␣baz"	['foo', 'bar baz']
foo␣"bar␣baz"␣""	['foo', 'bar baz', '']
foo␣"bar␣\"baz\""	['foo', 'bar "baz"']
foo␣"bar␣baz	['foo', '"bar', 'baz']
foo␣"bar"baz	['foo', '"bar"baz']
foo␣"ba\\r"␣baz	['foo', 'ba\\r', 'baz']
foo␣"ba\r"␣baz	['foo', 'ba\\r', 'baz']
␣foo␣␣␣␣bar␣␣baz␣␣	['foo', 'bar', 'baz']
␣foo␣"␣bar"␣␣␣baz␣	['foo', ' bar', 'baz']
