How does yargs.password work?

yargs.password is a method in the Yargs module for Node.js that adds a password option to the command-line arguments for a script.

When called, yargs.password adds a --password option to the list of command-line arguments that can be passed to a script. The value of the --password option can then be accessed by the script using the argv.password property.

Here is an example of how we might use yargs.password to add a password option to a script:

javascript
const yargs = require("yargs");

const options = yargs
  .option("password", {
    description: "The password to use for authentication",
    type: "string",
    demandOption: true,
  })
  .argv;

console.log(`Using password: ${options.password}`);

In this example, we call yargs.password to add a --password option to the list of command-line arguments. We provide a description of the option using the description property, specify that it should be a string using the type property, and indicate that it is a required option using the demandOption property.

We then use the argv property of the Yargs object to access the command-line arguments passed to the script. We access the value of the --password option using the password property of argv and log it to the console.

Note that yargs.password is just one of many methods provided by the Yargs module for working with command-line arguments in Node.js. It can be particularly useful when you need to prompt the user for a password or other sensitive information at the command line.

if(typeof argv.username != 'undefined'){

	password = argv.password;
   }

   if(typeof argv.usersFile != 'undefined'){
	usersFile = argv.usersFile;
