OCX Parser
OCX Parser is a TypeScript/JavaScript library for parsing Open Cap Table (OCX) files. It provides a simple interface to extract cap table information from OCX files in both Node.js and browser environments.
Installation
You can install the OCX Parser using npm:
npm install ocx-parserOr using yarn:
yarn add ocx-parserUsage
Node.js
Here's an example of how to use the OCX Parser in a Node.js environment:
import { createOCXParser } from "ocx-parser";
import fs from "fs/promises";
async function parseOCXFile(filePath) {
const parser = createOCXParser();
try {
const fileBuffer = await fs.readFile(filePath);
const result = await parser.parseCapTable(fileBuffer);
if (result.status === "success") {
console.log("Parsing successful:", result.data);
} else {
console.error("Parsing failed:", result.error);
}
} catch (error) {
console.error("Error reading or parsing file:", error);
}
}
// Usage
parseOCXFile("/path/to/your/ocx/file.xlsx");Browser
In a browser environment, you can use the OCX Parser with file input:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<input type="file" id="fileInput" accept=".xlsx" />
<script type="module">
import { createOCXParser } from "ocx-parser";
const fileInput = document.getElementById("fileInput");
fileInput.addEventListener("change", async (event) => {
const file = event.target.files[0];
if (file) {
const parser = createOCXParser();
try {
const result = await parser.parseCapTable(file);
if (result.status === "success") {
console.log("Parsing successful:", result.data);
} else {
console.error("Parsing failed:", result.error);
}
} catch (error) {
console.error("Error parsing file:", error);
}
}
});
</script>
</body>
</html>API
createOCXParser()
Creates and returns an instance of the OCX parser.
parser.parseCapTable(file: File | Buffer): Promise<ParseResult>
Parses the given OCX file and returns a Promise that resolves to a ParseResult object.
file: Can be aFileobject (in browser environments) or aBuffer(in Node.js environments).- Returns:
Promise<ParseResult>
ParseResult
The ParseResult object has the following structure:
interface ParseResult {
status: "success" | "error";
data: CapTable | null;
error: Error | null;
}status: Indicates whether the parsing was successful or encountered an error.data: Contains the parsed cap table data if successful, null otherwise.error: Contains the error object if an error occurred, null otherwise.
CapTable
The CapTable object represents the parsed data from the OCX file. It includes information about the OCX version, context data, stakeholders, and available shares for grant.
Error Handling
The OCX Parser uses a ParseResult object to handle both successful parsing and errors. Always check the status of the ParseResult before accessing the data or error properties.
