Little module that helps with endpoints parsing.
Decomposes a endpoint into name, source and target.
var endpointParser = require('bower-endpoint-parser');
endpointParser.decompose('jquery#~2.0.0');
// { name: '', source: 'jquery', target: '~2.0.0' }
endpointParser.decompose('backbone=backbone-amd#~1.0.0');
// { name: 'backbone', source: 'backbone-amd', target: '~1.0.0' }
endpointParser.decompose('http://twitter.github.io/bootstrap/assets/bootstrap.zip');
// { name: '', source: 'http://twitter.github.io/bootstrap/assets/bootstrap', target: '*' }
endpointParser.decompose('bootstrap=http://twitter.github.io/bootstrap/assets/bootstrap.zip');
// { name: 'bootstrap', source: 'http://twitter.github.io/bootstrap/assets/bootstrap', target: '*' }
Inverse of decompose().
Takes a decomposed endpoint and composes it back into a string.
var endpointParser = require('bower-endpoint-parser');
endpointParser.compose({ name: '', source: 'jquery', target: '~2.0.0' });
// jquery#~2.0.0
endpointParser.compose({ name: 'backbone', source: 'backbone-amd', target: '~1.0.0' });
// backbone=backbone-amd#~1.0.0
endpointParser.compose({ name: '', source: 'http://twitter.github.io/bootstrap/assets/bootstrap', target: '*' });
// http://twitter.github.io/bootstrap/assets/bootstrap.zip
endpointParser.compose({ name: 'bootstrap', source: 'http://twitter.github.io/bootstrap/assets/bootstrap', target: '*' });
// bootstrap=http://twitter.github.io/bootstrap/assets/bootstrap.zip
Similar to decompose() but specially designed to be used when parsing bower.json dependencies.
For instance, in a bower.json like this:
{
"name": "foo",
"version": "0.1.0",
"dependencies": {
"jquery": "~1.9.1",
"backbone": "backbone-amd#~1.0.0",
"bootstrap": "http://twitter.github.io/bootstrap/assets/bootstrap"
}
}
You would call json2decomposed like so:
endpointParser.json2decomposed('jquery', '~1.9.1');
// { name: 'jquery', source: 'jquery', target: '~1.9.1' }
endpointParser.json2decomposed('backbone', 'backbone-amd#~1.0.0');
// { name: 'backbone', source: 'backbone-amd', target: '~1.0.0' }
endpointParser.json2decomposed('bootstrap', 'http://twitter.github.io/bootstrap/assets/bootstrap');
// { name: 'bootstrap', source: 'http://twitter.github.io/bootstrap/assets/bootstrap', target: '*' }
Inverse of json2decomposed().
Takes a decomposed endpoint and composes it to be saved to bower.json.
var endpointParser = require('bower-endpoint-parser');
endpointParser.decomposed2json({ name: 'jquery', source: 'jquery', target: '~2.0.0' });
// { jquery: '~2.0.0' }
endpointParser.decomposed2json({ name: 'backbone', source: 'backbone-amd', target: '~1.0.0' });
// { backbone: 'backbone-amd#~2.0.0' }
endpointParser.decomposed2json({ name: 'bootstrap', source: 'http://twitter.github.io/bootstrap/assets/bootstrap', target: '*' });
// { bootstrap: 'http://twitter.github.io/bootstrap/assets/bootstrap' }
This function throws an exception if the name from the decomposed endpoint is empty.
