steal-bundle-manifest
steal-bundle-manifest is a set of tools that help with working on bundle manifest files; these are files that specify a list of assets associated with a given route. In steal, these routes are keyed as module names.
Install
npm install steal-bundle-manifest --saveUsage
The main export is a constructor function. Instantiating it will give you an object that can be used to pull information from a manifest. A typical usage looks like:
var BundleManifest = require("steal-bundle-manifest");
var spdy = require("spdy");
var manifest = new BundleManifest({
serverRoot: "/assets"
});
spdy.createServer({
cert: ...,
key: ...,
protocols: ["h2", "http/1.1"]
}, function(req, res){
if(req.url === "orders") {
var route = manifest.for("app/orders/");
// Calling push will cause the assets to be pushed in HTTP2.
route.push(req, res);
var styles = route.assets.filter(a => a.type === "style");
var scripts = route.assets.filter(a => a.type === "script");
res.end(`
<html>
<head>
${route.toHTML(styles)}
</head>
<body>
<h1>Orders page</h1>
${route.toHTML(scripts)}
</body>
</html>
`);
} else {
... other stuff
}
});API
BundleManifest
A BundleManifest is a type that represents a bundle manifest file. Upon instantiation you can provide a single argument manifestOptions to specify where files are located.
manifestOptions
An object including the following properties:
manifest
Specify the location of the manifest file. If not provided then process.cwd() + "/dist/bundles.json" is used.
var manifest = new BundleManifest({
manifest: __dirname + "public/bundles.json"
});root
Specify the root location from where to find the files listed in the bundle manifest.
var manifest = new BundleManifest({
root: __dirname + "/public"
});serverRoot
Specify the server's root, from where it should look for resources. This will influence how assets are written out when using the toHTML() API.
var manifest = new BundleManifest({
serverRoot: "/assets"
});Will cause scripts to be written like:
<script src="/assets/dist/bundles/app/app.js"></script>for
A method used to derive a Route object for a given module name. This lets you filter down the bundle manifest to just the route you are interested in.
var manifest = new BundleManifest();
var route = manifest.for("app/orders/");
route.assets; // -> [ { type: "script", path: "dist/bundles..." } ]
route.push; // function(){}Route
A Route type is created when using manifest.for(route). This is an object representing a given route (or root bundle). From here you can work with a set of assets for the route, filtering as necessary.
assets
An Array of all of the assets associated with this route. Use normal array methods to further derive subsets as needed. For example, you typically might want to filter the set of assets into scripts and styles so that you can generate HTML snippets for each, or to provide an array for looping in your chosen templating language.
var manifest = new BundleManifest();
var route = manifest.for("app/orders");
var scripts = route.assets.filter(a => a.type === "script");
var styles = route.assets.filter(a => a.type === "style");push
A function which, given a Node.js request and response, will send PUSH messages when using HTTP/2, and add Preload link headers when using HTTP/1.
This can be used instead of steal-push. A typical usage with Express looks like:
const spdy = require("spdy");
const express = require("express");
const BundleManifest = require("bundle-manifest");
const manifest = new BundleManifest();
app.get("/",
manifest.for("main").push,
function(req, res){
...
});
app.get("/orders",
manifest.for("orders/").push,
function(req, res){
...
});
spdy.createServer({
key: ...,
cert: ...,
protocols: ["h2", "http/1.1"]
}, app).listen(8080);toHTML
This method generates HTML for assets. For scripts it creates <script> tags, for styles, <link> tags.
var scripts = route.assets.filter(a => a.type === "script");
route.toHTML(scripts); // -> "<script src="/dist/bundles/app/app.js" async></script>License
