What would be the best way to implementCLI ROS Name remapping in the library?

[Mohamedemad4]

Background

Remapping arguments is one of the features that make ROS packages reusable and flexible.
Currently, this library doesn't support CLI argument remapping

Possible Implementation(s)

modify the code for New* (publisher,subscriber,Node etc..) to read command-line arguments that match the "names" supplied to it and replace them as needed

something like

if CheckOsArgsForRemap(conf.Name){ conf.Name = GetRemappedNameFromOsArgs(conf.Name) }

But this feels really manual since it will have to go into:

• PublisherConf
• SubConf
• Node Name
• Action Server
• Action Client
• Service Provider
• Service Client

and I probably missed something.
This approach doesn't feel correct and I was wondering if anyone had a better idea to implement the remapping behavior.
