bower-json
Read bower.json
files with semantics, normalisation, defaults and validation.
Install via npm: npm install --save bower-json
Usage
.read(file, options, callback)
.readSync(file, options)
Reads file
and applies normalisation, defaults and validation according to the bower.json
spec.
If the passed file
does not exist, the callback is called with error.code
equal to ENOENT
.
If the passed file
contents are not valid JSON, the callback is called with error.code
equal to EMALFORMED
.
If the json
does not comply with the bower.json
spec, the callback is called with error.code
equal to EINVALID
.
If file
is a directory, find()
will be used to search for the json file.
The options
argument is optional and can be omitted. These options will be passed to parse
method.
var bowerJson = require('bower-json');
// Can also be used by simply calling bowerJson()
bowerJson.read('/path/to/bower.json', function (err, json) {
if (err) {
console.error('There was an error reading the file');
console.error(err.message);
return;
}
console.log('JSON: ', json);
});
.parse(json, options)
Parses an object. Useful when you want to apply normalisation and validation directly to an object.
If the json
does not comply with the bower.json
spec, an error is thrown with error.code
equal to EINVALID
.
The options
arguments is optional and can be omitted. Available options:
- validate: Apply validation, defaults to
true
- normalize: Apply normalisation, defaults to
false
- clone: clone, use and return the passed in
json
object instead of using it directly, defaults tofalse
var bowerJson = require('bower-json');
var json = {
name: 'my-package',
version: '0.0.1'
};
try {
bowerJson.parse(json);
} catch (err) {
console.error('There was an error parsing the object');
console.error(err.message);
}
.getIssues(json) - DEPRECATED
Validates the passed json
object.
Returns an object with errors and warnings of this bower.json contents.
var bowerJson = require('bower-json');
var json = {
name: 'myPackage',
version: '0.0.1',
main: {}
};
var issues = bowerJson.getIssues(json);
expect(issues).toEqual({
errors: ['The "main" field has to be either an Array or a String'],
warnings: ['The "name" must be lowercase']
});
#### .validate(json)
Validates the passed `json` object.
Throws an error with `error.code` equal to `EINVALID` if it does not comply with the spec.
```js
var bowerJson = require('bower-json');
var json = {
name: 'myPackage',
version: '0.0.1'
};
try {
bowerJson.validate(json);
} catch (err) {
console.error('There was an error validating the object');
console.error(err.message);
}
.normalize(json)
var bowerJson = require('bower-json');
var json = {
name: 'my-package',
version: '0.0.1',
main: 'foo.js,bar.js'
};
bowerJson.normalize(json);
json.main // ['foo.js', 'bar.js']
.find(folder, callback)
.findSync(folder)
Finds the json
filename inside a folder.
Checks if a bower.json
exists, falling back to component.json
(deprecated) and .bower.json
.
If no file was found, the callback is called with a error.code
of ENOENT
.
var bowerJson = require('bower-json');
bowerJson.find('/path/to/folder', function (err, filename) {
if (err) {
console.error('There is no json file in the folder');
return;
}
console.log('Filename: ', filename);
// Now that we got the filename, we can read its contents
bowerJson.read(filename, function (err, json) {
if (err) {
console.error('There was an error reading the file');
console.error(err.message);
return;
}
console.log('JSON: ', json);
});
});
