gerber parser
Streaming Gerber/drill file parser
A printed circuit board Gerber and drill file parser. Implemented as a Node transform stream that takes a Gerber text stream and emits objects to be consumed by some sort of PCB plotter.
Part of the tracespace collection of PCB visualization tools.
install
npm install --save gerber-parser
# or
yarn add gerber-parser
Or, use a script tag:
<script src="https://unpkg.com/gerber-parser@^4.0.0/dist/gerber-parser.min.js"></script>
<script>
// global variable gerberParser now available
var parser = gerberParser()
</script>
example
var fs = require('fs')
var gerberParser = require('gerber-parser')
var parser = gerberParser()
parser.on('warning', function(w) {
console.warn('warning at line ' + w.line + ': ' + w.message)
})
fs.createReadStream('/path/to/gerber/file.gbr')
.pipe(parser)
.on('data', function(obj) {
console.log(JSON.stringify(obj))
})
To run this module in a browser, it should be bundled with a tool like browserify or webpack. If you are using the script tag installation method instead, there will be a global variable gerberParser
available after you have included gerber-parser.min.js
.
