Internet Archive Field Parsers

Parsers to convert strings from Internet Archive API responses to their native javascript equivalents.

Each parser implements the FieldParserInterface:

export type FieldParserRawValue = string | number | boolean;

export interface FieldParserInterface<T> {
  /**
   * Parse the raw value and return a value of type T or undefined if unparseable
   *
   * @param rawValue T | undefined
   */
  parseValue(rawValue: FieldParserRawValue): T | undefined;
}

They are responsible for parsing the input and returning the appropriate value or undefined.

Usage

Instantiate a parser or use the shared instance:

const parser = new BooleanParser()
parser.parse('true') => true

BooleanParser.shared.parse('false') => false

See tests for more usage examples.

Available Parsers:

1. Boolean
2. Byte - a number in bytes
3. Date - parses the various Internet Archive date formats
4. Duration - Parses hh:mm:ss.ms and ss.ms formats to seconds
5. MediaType - Internet Archive media types
6. Number
7. PageProgression - Internet Archive page progression (right to left, left to right)
8. String

To run the tests in watch mode (for <abbr title="test driven development">TDD</abbr>, for example), run

yarn run test:watch

Linting with ESLint, Prettier, and Types

To scan the project for linting errors, run

yarn run lint

You can lint with ESLint and Prettier individually as well

yarn run lint:eslint

yarn run lint:prettier

To automatically fix many linting errors, run

yarn run format

You can format using ESLint and Prettier individually as well

yarn run format:eslint

yarn run format:prettier

Tooling configs

For most of the tools, the configuration is in the package.json to reduce the amount of files in your project.

If you customize the configuration a lot, you can consider moving them to individual files.
