How to pass arguments to a gjs script

How can I pass arguments to a gjs script? I wan to to call a script with:

gjs my-script.js foo

and in the script I want to get foo. In node.js I would use process.argv but this is obviously not possible in gjs.

Any help is much appreciated.

Found it now out. You can get the passed arguments with ARGV. See Command line arguments in GJS (1/) | by Maicmarin | Medium

In recent GJS System.programArgs might be a better way to do this, because in apps where GJS is embedded ARGV might not be defined.
