I've recently been working on Optique, a CLI parser combinator for TypeScript. Optique allows you to describe complex CLIs by combining smaller parts. You can also handle the CLI parsing results in a type-safe manner (see code below). optique.dev

const parser = or(
object({
type: constant("network"),
host: option(
"-h", "--host",
string({ metavar: "HOST" }),
),
port: option(
"-p", "--port",
integer({ metavar: "PORT", min: 0, max: 65535 }),
),
}),
object({
type: constant("local"),
file: option(
"-s", "--socket-file",
string({ metavar: "FILE" }),
),
}),
)

type Result = InferValue<typeof parser>;

// The above type is inferred as:
type Result = {
readonly type: "network";
readonly host: string;
readonly port: number;
} | {
readonly type: "local";
readonly file: string;
}
