Requirements

• Node.js v20 or higher

Getting Started

This package is available in the Node Package Repository and can be easily installed with npm or yarn.

$ npm i @nodesecure/contact
# or
$ yarn add @nodesecure/contact

Usage example

Here is an example of usage from the Scanner. In this case, we are using dependenciesMap, which is a Record<string, Dependency>. However, you can build your own record of ContactExtractorPackageMetadata.

import {
  ContactExtractor,
  type ContactExtractorPackageMetadata
} from "@nodesecure/contact";

const dependencies: Record<string, ContactExtractorPackageMetadata> = Object.create(null);
for (const [packageName, dependency] of dependenciesMap) {
  const { author, maintainers } = dependency.metadata;

  dependencies[packageName] = {
    maintainers,
    ...( author === null ? {} : { author } )
  }
}

const extractor = new ContactExtractor({
  highlight: [
    {
      name: "Sindre Sorhus"
    }
  ]
});
const contacts = extractor.fromDependencies(
  dependencies
);
console.log(contacts);

API

Contact is defined by the following TypeScript interface:

interface Contact {
  email?: string;
  url?: string;
  name: string;
}

[!NOTE] This package authorizes literal RegExp in the name property

ContactExtractor

The constructor take a list of contacts you want to find/extract.

interface ContactExtractorOptions {
  highlight: Contact[];
}

The method fromDependencies will return an array of IlluminatedContact objects if any are found in the provided dependencies.

type IlluminatedContact = Contact & {
  dependencies: string[];
}

compareContact(contactA: Contact, contactB: Contact, options?: CompareOptions): boolean

Compare two contacts and return true if they are the same person

import {
  compareContact
} from "@nodesecure/contact";
import assert from "node:assert";

assert.ok(
  compareContact(
    { name: "john doe" },
    { name: "John  Doe" }
  )
);

Each string is trimmed, converted to lowercase, and any multiple spaces are reduced to a single space.

Options

interface CompareOptions {
  /**
   * @default true
   */
  compareName?: boolean;
}
