Quokka Signet Explorer

Quokka plugin for exploring API endpoints to identify function signatures and API property types

Installation

Install Quokka.js (free or pro)

1. NPM setup

First install Quokka Signet Explorer via npm:

2a. Quokka Setup

Next, add the plugin to your Quokka configuration:

2b. OR Wallaby Setup

If you are running Wallaby, you can use Quokka Signet Explorer. Just require it in your setup file and then run the setup method with all of your other setup scripts:

const quokkaSignetExplorer = require('quokkaSignetExplorer');

module.exports = function () {
    return {
        setup: function () {
            quokkaSignetExplorer.setup();
            /* other setup goes in here too! */
        }
    };
}

That's it!

To run Quokka, open a file and type ctrl/command+k, q.

API

Three functions are exposed on the node global scope. In any code you are running, you can get information about functions, objects and modules:

• exploreApi -- exportedModule:* => variant<string, object>
  • alias of exploreValue
  • returns either an object containing property keys with value types or a string describing the type of value provided
• exploreFunction -- functionToExplore:function => string
  • returns a signet signature string describing the function input values
• exploreValue -- valueToExplore:* => variant<string, object>
  • returns either an object containing property keys with value types or a string describing the type of value provided

Example

    const api = {
        foo: {
            bar: 'baz'
        },
        add: (a, b = 1) => a + b,
        identity: a => a
    };

    console.log(exploreFunction(api.add)); // a:*, b:[number] => *
    console.log(exploreApi(api));

    /*
     * {
     *     foo: {
     *         bar: 'string'
     *     },
     *     add: 'a:*, b:[number] => *',
     *     identity: 'a:* => *'
     * }
     */
