[API reference](https://guzba.github.io/bossy/)

Bossy is a simple repo that makes working with command line arguments a little easier.

All Bossy does is parse the command line arguments using [std/parseopt](https://nim-lang.org/docs/parseopt.html) and give you a simpler interface to work with.

Bossy is great for supporting command line parameters without any magic.

If you want a powerful library for building command line interfaces, Bossy currently isn't that. There are other options on [Nimble](https://nimble.directory/).

## Example

```nim

import bossy

## Get the command line arguments, parsed by Bossy

let args = getCommandLineArgs()

## Check if an argument is present

echo "flag" in args

## Get the value for an argument

echo args["port"]

## Get the value for an argument, or use a default value

echo args.getOrDefault("port", "8080")

```
