Migration Tips

If you use .on('command:*') or more complicated tests to detect an unrecognised subcommand, you may be able to delete the code and rely on the default behaviour.

If you use program.args or more complicated tests to detect a missing subcommand, you may be able to delete the code and rely on the default behaviour.

If you use .command('*') to add a default command, you may be be able to switch to isDefault:true with a named command.

3.0.0 / 2019-08-08

• Add option to specify executable file name (#999)
  • e.g. .command('clone', 'clone description', { executableFile: 'myClone' })
• Change docs for .command to contrast action handler vs git-style executable. (#938 #990)
• Breaking Change TypeScript to use overloaded function for .command. (#938 #990)
• Change to use straight quotes around strings in error messages (like 'this' instead of `this') (#915)
• Add TypeScript "reference types" for node (#974)
• Add support for hyphen as an option argument in subcommands (#697)
• Add support for a short option flag and its value to be concatenated for action handler subcommands (#599)
  • e.g. -p 80 can also be supplied as -p80
• Add executable arguments to spawn in win32, for git-style executables (#611)
  • e.g. node --harmony myCommand.js clone
• Add parent command as prefix of subcommand in help (#980)
• Add optional custom description to .version (#963)
  • e.g. program.version('0.0.1', '-v, --vers', 'output the current version')
• Add .helpOption(flags, description) routine to customise help flags and description (#963)
  • e.g. .helpOption('-e, --HELP', 'read more information')
• Fix behavior of --no-* options (#795)
  • can now define both --foo and --no-foo
  • Breaking custom event listeners: --no-foo on cli now emits option:no-foo (previously option:foo)
  • Breaking default value: defining --no-foo after defining --foo leaves the default value unchanged (previously set it to false)
  • allow boolean default value, such as from environment (#987)
• Increment inspector port for spawned subcommands (#991)
  • e.g. node --inspect myCommand.js clone

Migration Tips

The custom event for a negated option like --no-foo is option:no-foo (previously option:foo).

program
  .option('--no-foo')
  .on('option:no-foo', () => {
    console.log('removing foo');
  });

When using TypeScript, adding a command does not allow an explicit undefined for an unwanted executable description (e.g for a command with an action handler).

program
  .command('action1', undefined, { noHelp: true }) // No longer valid
  .command('action2', { noHelp: true }) // Correct
