I am trying to make a cli that uses flags as settings/options. It's all working, except it doesn't read the argvs. Here's what I'm doing now:
console.log(process.argv)
console.log(process.execArgv)
And here's what I get in the console:
C:\Users\divinelemon\Downloads\Programming\Node.js\client>npm start --output=file
> npm-generator@1.0.0 start C:\Users\divinelemon\Downloads\Programming\Node.js\client
> node index.js
[
'C:\\Program Files\\nodejs\\node.exe',
'C:\\Users\\divinelemon\\Downloads\\Programming\\Node.js\\client\\index.js'
]

As you can see, I clearly ran the script with the flag: --output=file but nothing shows up. Does this have something to do with the newest update of Node.js?
EDIT:
I used the link above and thought this was the best for my use case:
process.env.npm_config_<flag name>
Which can be used like this:
$ node index.js --foo=bar
This is what your index.js file would look like:
console.log(process.env.npm_config_foo)
//=> 'bar'
