Pass string with space using Yargs

I am using yargs to collect any arguments passed. My scenario is to be able to pass a string with spaces with double quotes just like this:

./nodeFile.js -n "my node module"

But it actually takes "my as the argument value for yargs.argv.n and put the remaining string in _. I know it works when we use escape characters with " but I cannot assume this is obvious for my user.

Can anyone please help me to find if there is any configuration or any hack using which I can collect entire string?

That unfortunately doesn't solve for me. As mentioned in the question, I tried it using double-quotes(also tried with single-quotes but got no luck) – amal Nov 30 '18 at 11:08
