The npm package arrgv had initial releases in July and August 2015. It saw sporadic updates between 2018 and 2019. Since November 2019, there have been no new versions published. As of September 10, 2025, the package has remained inactive for nearly six years.
arrgv simplifies command-line argument parsing in Node.js. It transforms the standard process.argv array into a key-value object, making argument access intuitive and straightforward. Features include handling named arguments, boolean flags, and default values. It is a lightweight and dependency-free alternative for simple command-line tools, facilitating quick and easy parameter extraction.
Arrgv's npm package downloads show significant growth, especially from March 2025 onwards, peaking in June 2025. While consistent in the latter half of 2024 around 800k/900k, 2025 sees a surge. However, September 2025's partial data indicates a sharp decline, a trend that requires further observation.
