In this article, we will review cac — command and conquer, a JavaScript library for building cli apps.
Command and conquer is a JavaScript library for building cli apps.
Features

Usage
Simple Parsing
Use CAC as simple argument parser:
// examples/basic-usage.js
const cli = require('cac')()
cli.option('--type <type>', 'Choose a project type', {
default: 'node',
})
const parsed = cli.parse()
console.log(JSON.stringify(parsed, null, 2))
import { cac } from 'cac'
2. At , cac is initialised as shown below:
const cli = cac('tsup')
3. From are configured. As you can see, there are lot of options available in this Tsup library.
.option('--entry.* <file>', 'Use a key-value pair as entry files')
.option('-d, --out-dir <dir>', 'Output directory', { default: 'dist' })
.option('--format <format>', 'Bundle format, "cjs", "iife", "esm"', {
default: 'cjs',
})
.option('--minify [terser]', 'Minify bundle')
.option('--minify-whitespace', 'Minify whitespace')
.option('--minify-identifiers', 'Minify identifiers')
.option('--minify-syntax', 'Minify syntax')
.option(
'--keep-names',
'Keep original function and class names in minified code',
)
4. Below is the command configuration:
.command('[...files]', 'Bundle files', {
ignoreOptionDefaultValue: true,
})
5. In the actions, all the arguments that you have passed are accessible via flags variable. options is updated with these flags as shown below
.action(async (files: string[], flags) => {
const { build } = await import('.')
Object.assign(options, {
...flags,
})
Most importantly, build function is called as shown .
}
await build(options)
})

What is cac package?
cac usage in Tsup.
Command and conquer is a JavaScript library for building cli apps.
Features
Super light-weight: No dependency, just a single file.
Easy to learn. There’re only 4 APIs you need to learn for building simple CLIs: cli.option cli.version cli.help cli.parse.
Yet so powerful. Enable features like default command, git-like subcommands, validation for required arguments and options, variadic arguments, dot-nested options, automated help message generation and so on.
Developer friendly. Written in TypeScript.
