yui3skins

simple nodejs utility to derive the list of skins that a yui3 module supports based on its directory structure and its meta json file.

Scans each subdirectory in dir, and searches for <mod>/assets/skins/<skins> directories. Adds each directory in skins to the output json. Reads the module's meta json file to determine if the skins belong to a submodule instead of the parent module. For example, see https://github.com/yui/yui3/blob/master/src/slider/meta/slider.json. In the case of slider, the skins belong to the slider-base submodule and not the slider parent module.

Installation

npm install yui3skins

Usage

in a nodejs script

dir
  module1
   assets
     skins
       skin1
       skin2
   js
   ...
  module2
   js
   ...
  module3
   assets
     skins
       skin2
       skin3
   ...

var skins = require('yui3skins');

// output contents to a file
skins.scan('dir', './path/to/out.json');

outputs the following to ./path/to/out.json:

{
 module1: "skin1,skin2",
 module3: "skin2,skin3"
}

Alternatively, you can supply a callback function which receives the the meta data object as it's only argument:

skins.scan('./dir', null, function(skinHash) {
  // skin data available
});

from the command line

The following will output the same as the above example:

yui3skins -d ./dir -o ./path/to/out.json

assuming you installed yui3skins using npm's global (-g) flag. Otherwise, you'll need to run it using the node executable and from the node_modules directory:

cd node_modules
node yui3skins -d ./dir -o ./path/to/out.json
