ESLint is Now Language-Agnostic: Linting JSON, Markdown, and Beyond
ESLint has added JSON and Markdown linting support with new officially-supported plugins, expanding its versatility beyond JavaScript.
@types/js-yaml
Advanced tools
The @types/js-yaml package provides TypeScript type definitions for the js-yaml package, which is a YAML parser and serializer. This allows developers using TypeScript to work with js-yaml more effectively by providing compile-time type checking and IntelliSense support in code editors. The main functionalities include parsing YAML strings into JavaScript objects and serializing JavaScript objects into YAML strings.
Parsing YAML to JavaScript Object
This feature allows you to parse a YAML string into a JavaScript object. It's useful for reading configuration files or data serialization formats that are easier to read and write for humans than JSON.
import * as yaml from 'js-yaml';
let doc = yaml.load('foo: bar');
console.log(doc); // Outputs: { foo: 'bar' }
Serializing JavaScript Object to YAML
This feature enables you to serialize a JavaScript object into a YAML string. It's beneficial for generating configuration files or data serialization formats that need to be human-readable.
import * as yaml from 'js-yaml';
let obj = { foo: 'bar' };
let yml = yaml.dump(obj);
console.log(yml); // Outputs YAML string representation of the object
The 'yaml' package is a modern YAML parser and stringifier, supporting YAML 1.2. It offers similar functionality to js-yaml but with a more modern codebase and API. It might be preferred for new projects for its updated features.
Yamljs is another YAML parser and serializer for JavaScript. Compared to js-yaml, it might be less popular and not as actively maintained. However, it provides basic parsing and serialization capabilities.
