@qpyracuk/text-builder

Introduction

Immediately after writing an object serializer in XML @qpyracuk/xml-builder, an idea came to me - based on an already existing “engine”, create an object serializer into plain text. Having brewed 1 more cup of coffee, I got to work, and half an hour later, another bag was ready!

Installation

This is a JS library available through the npm registry. Before installation, you need to download and install Node.js. Requires Node.js v8.0.0 or higher.

If this is a completely new project, be sure to create a package.json file using the npm init command.

To install the package, enter the npm install @qpyracuk/text-builder command in the console.

npm install @qpyracuk/text-builder

Features

• Support for Map and Set data structures;
• Pretty output mode;
• Adjusting tab size in pretty mode;
• Displaying variable types;
• High serialization speed;
• Changing the encoding.

Quick Start

After installing the package, import the library.

For ESMAScript modules:

import TEXT from '@qpyracuk/text-builder';

For CommonJS modules:

const TEXT = require('@qpyracuk/text-builder');

Usage example

We create an object that needs to be traversed

const futureText = {
  primitive: '1',
  object: {
    primitive: 3,
    array: ['1', 2, 'three'],
    set: new Set([1, 2, new Map([['key', { field: { value: 100 } }]])]),
    map: new Map([['key', { value: 10 }]])
  }
};

const builder = TEXT.createBuilder({ pretty: true, typed: true });
const text = builder.stringify(futureText);

Options

pretty: boolean

Generate a text model of an object with indents and tabs.

typed: boolean

Sign the type of fields of objects or variables.

tab: number | 'tab'

Tab size in spaces if specified as a positive numeric value. Is it possible to specify 'tab' and then all whitespace characters will become \t.

Builder methods

stringify(data: any): string

Serializes data into text. Yes, it's simple!
