Node ARGV

argv.json

[
    {
    	"name": "command",
    	"short": "c",
    	"type": "boolean",
    	"description": "Show this help",
    	"example": "'myapp --command=true|false' or 'myapp -c true|false'"

1. Execute the script without ./ prefix

from http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/162134/how-to-execute-a-bash-script-without-typing

You need add directory with your script to the PATH variable:

export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/dir

or you can even add current directory to the PATH:

export PATH=$PATH:.

The later has some security drawback though.

2. Rename the file without ".js" extension

3. Add properly header

If you want that the file will be parsed as well you need to place this header in the first line:

#!/usr/bin/env node

4. Manage ARGV and colours

Include the argv module and the colors module:

var ARGV        = require("argv"),
    colors      = require("colors");

then you can configure args in an external json file:

**
 * Parse args in command line
 */
ARGS = ARGV.option(JSON.parse(
    FS.readFileSync(C_.adjustPath("argv.json"), "utf8")
)).version("v1.0").run();

5. Fantastic app

Consider also the readline module to build a quiz for variables if not provided
