/**
* Author: Alex Otano
* This is a implementation of how to get parameters from the CLI when running a nodejs script.

console.log('---------------------');
let pass = ''
let user = ''
console.log('process.argv',process.argv)
process.argv.forEach(arg=>{
	if(arg.indexOf('--user=') > -1) {
		arg.split('=')
		user = arg.split('=')[1].toString().trim()
	}
	if(arg.indexOf('--pass=') > -1) {
		arg.split('=')
		pass = arg.split('=')[1].toString().trim()
	}
})
console.log('user >>> ',user)
console.log('pass >>> ',pass)
