const Reader = require('binary-version-reader').HalModuleParser;
const reader = new Reader();
reader.parseFile('your_binary.bin', function(fileInfo, err) {
console.log(fileInfo);
});
You can also get the raw output of binary-version-reader by using it as a command line tool without installing it.

When you need to create a firmware binary for an integration test, you
can use the provided firmwareTestHelper
instead of relying on fixtures
in your application.
const { firmwareTestHelper, ModuleInfo } = require('binary-version-reader');
const binary = firmwareTestHelper.createFirmwareBinary({ productId: 123, productVersion: 6, platformId: 10, deps: [ { func: ModuleInfo.FunctionType.SYSTEM_PART, index: 1, version: 1210 } ] });
Packages are only released from the master
branch after peer review.
$ git checkout master
$ git pull
$ npm test
$ npm version <major|minor|patch>
$ git push origin main --follow-tags
