Autogenerate flag help when no helpMessage is given
I'm coming from commander, which autogenerates documentation on flags, and was surprised to see that meow's autoHelp feature doesn't do the same.
// in index.js
const cli = require('meow')({
flags: {
'initial-indent': {
type: 'string',
alias: 'n',
description: 'Initial indentation level'
default: '0'
},
indent: {
type: 'string',
alias: 'i',
description: 'YAML indentation level'
default: '2'
}
}
})
cli.showHelp()should generate output something like
$ ./index.js
My cool tool description
Options:
-n, --initial-indent [value] Initial indentation spaces. Optional; default 0.
-i, --indent [value] YAML indentation spaces. Optional; default 2.
