Utilities for blueprints

What is it?

Are there files that you always need, in order to create or update projects? @codemod-utils/blueprints helps you define these files and provide user-specific data (context).

API

decideVersion

Need to add or update a dependency? You can use decideVersion to know which version to install.

It is assumed that:

• You don't want to rely on a library such as latest-version. (The reasons are, your codemod would have an extra dependency and your tests may fail without stubs—more dependencies.)
• Before calling decideVersion, the codemod has computed dependencies (current dependencies of the user's project) and stored latestVersions (versions to install by default) somewhere.

Example

Step 1. Pass latestVersions to decideVersion.

import { decideVersion } from '@codemod-utils/blueprints';

// Hardcode the versions
const latestVersions = new Map([
  ['embroider-css-modules', '0.1.2'],
  ['webpack', '5.82.0'],
]);

// Create a wrapper
export function getVersion(packageName, options) {
  const { dependencies } = options;

  return decideVersion(packageName, {
    dependencies,
    latestVersions,
  });
}

Step 2. Pass dependencies to decideVersion.

// `dependencies` obtained from the user's `package.json`
const options = {
  dependencies: new Map([
    ['webpack', '^5.79.0'],
  ]),
};

// Query version
getVersion('embroider-css-modules', options); // '^0.1.2'
getVersion('webpack', options); // '^5.79.0' (no-op)

getFilePath

When a user runs your codemod with npx, where are your blueprint files installed? With getFilePath, you don't need to worry about the actual location.

Example

Step 1. Pass import.meta.url to getFilePath. Append the relative path to your blueprints folder.

import { join } from 'node:path';

import { getFilePath } from '@codemod-utils/blueprints';

const fileURL = import.meta.url;

// Create a wrapper
export const blueprintsRoot = join(getFilePath(fileURL), '../../blueprints');

Step 2. Prepend the file path with blueprintsRoot.

import { readFileSync } from 'node:fs';
import { join } from 'node:path';

// Read file
const blueprintFilePath = '__addonLocation__/rollup.config.mjs';

const blueprintFile = readFileSync(
  join(blueprintsRoot, blueprintFilePath),
  'utf8',
);

processTemplate

Often, blueprints need context: When a condition is true, a file should be generated in a different way. You can embed logic with delimiters in the blueprint files, then use processTemplate to pass data.

There are 3 types of delimiters:

• Escape (<%- %>) - escape an HTML code
• Evaluate (<% %>) - evaluate a JavaScript code
• Interpolate (<%= %>) - substitute a value

Example

Step 1. Indicate how the file should be created.

/* blueprints/__addonLocation__/rollup.config.mjs */
<% if (options.packages.addon.hasTypeScript) { %>import typescript from 'rollup-plugin-ts';<% } else { %>import { babel } from '@rollup/plugin-babel';<% } %>
import copy from 'rollup-plugin-copy';
import { Addon } from '@embroider/addon-dev/rollup';

const addon = new Addon({
  srcDir: 'src',
  destDir: 'dist',
});

export default {
  output: addon.output(),

  plugins: [
    addon.publicEntrypoints([<%= context.addon.publicEntrypoints.map((filePath) => `'${filePath}'`).join(', ') %>]),

    addon.appReexports([<%= context.addon.appReexports.map((filePath) => `'${filePath}'`).join(', ') %>]),

    addon.dependencies(),

    // ...
  ],
};

Step 2. Pass data to the file.

import { readFileSync } from 'node:fs';
import { join } from 'node:path';

import { processTemplate } from '@codemod-utils/blueprints';

// Read file
const blueprintFilePath = '__addonLocation__/rollup.config.mjs';

const blueprintFile = readFileSync(
  join(blueprintsRoot, blueprintFilePath),
  'utf8',
);

// Process file
processTemplate(blueprintFile, {
  context, // context = { addon: ... }
  options, // options = { packages: ... }
});

Often, it is easy to miscalculate data and misplace the newline character \n . If you intend to publish your codemod, I recommend using @codemod-utils/tests (create and test file fixtures) to check the output and prevent regressions.
