Alternative to non maintained Minimist package #260

Closed diego-G closed 6 years ago

diego-G commented 7 years ago

Minimist is not maintained by their authors. They have 33 open issues not answered, 21 open PR and last commit was 2 years ago.

This situation is raising issues to Vorpal.

Community would appreciate if you find an alternative to replace it. My recommendation it is https://github.com/tj/commander.js which has an active community of developers.

Commander and Vorpal are equivalent libraries. They could even be considered competitors.

That being said, we have plans to rework argument parsing in v2.

Thanks for your fast reply. Hence I've changed the title to the real purpose of my issue. Hope you can find a way to get rid of that package.

dashdash is an excellent arg parser, although I assume you have already chosen an argument parser for Vorpal version 2.
