GDO

Group- and Dependency-based Ordering

About

GDO (Group-and Dependency-based Ordering) is a small JavaScript library for ordering named elements by taking into account tags (multiple non-unique aliases for an element), groups (single non-unique assignments of an element) and dependencies (inter-group "after"/"before" dependencies of elements). It is intended to solve the element ordering problem in dependency management.

Installation

$ npm install gdo

Usage

var GDO = require("gdo")
var gdo = new GDO()
gdo.groups([ "A", "B", "C" ])
gdo.element({ name: "1",  group: "A" })
gdo.element({ name: "2a", group: "B", tag: "TWO-A" })
gdo.element({ name: "2b", group: "B", after: "TWO-A", before: "2c" })
gdo.element({ name: "2c", group: "B" })
gdo.element({ name: "3",  group: "C" })
gdo.order() // -> [ "1", "2a", "2b", "2c", "3" ]
