You can put all your variables in a YAML file and pass it as
--extra-vars="@my_vars.yml"
Given your example, your command will look like this:
ansible-playbook -i $inventory-file $role-name --extra-vars="@my_vars.yml"
and my_vars.yml should contain:
---
# NOTE: "=" is replaced by ':'
var1: $var1-value
var2: $var2-value
I hope this helps.
