ccOptions

ccOptions is a lightweight, open-source JavaScript library designed to simplify the handling of command-line arguments in web applications. It provides a structured approach to parsing and managing command-line parameters, making it easier to integrate command-line functionality into browser-based environments.

The library is particularly useful for applications that require user input via URL parameters, such as single-page applications (SPAs) or tools that interact with browser extensions. ccOptions allows developers to define argument schemas, validate input, and access parsed values in a clean, object-oriented manner. Unlike traditional command-line parsing libraries, ccOptions is optimized for web use, leveraging the URL's query string for argument storage and retrieval.

Key features of ccOptions include argument type conversion, default value assignment, and support for optional and required parameters. It also provides methods for handling boolean flags, numeric ranges, and custom validation logic. The library is designed to be minimal, with no external dependencies, ensuring fast load times and easy integration into existing projects.

ccOptions is maintained as an open-source project, with contributions welcome from the developer community. It follows a permissive license, allowing for flexible use in both commercial and non-commercial applications. The library is well-documented, with examples provided for common use cases, such as parsing arguments for configuration settings, user preferences, or tool-specific commands.

Developers can install ccOptions via package managers like npm or include it directly via a CDN. Its simplicity and flexibility make it a suitable choice for projects requiring lightweight command-line-like functionality in a web environment.
