EOL Tools
A set of tools for working with EOL markings in files.
Installation
Install using npm:
npm install -g eol-tools
Usage
At any time, you can run eol-tools --help
to get help from the command line.
Analyzing the line endings of files
You can use eol-tools to analyze the EOL markings of files and report back what they are, including mixed EOL usage and indeterminante usage:
eol-tools [a|analayze] [directory...]
Each argument after a
or analyze
is treated as a separate directory, so you can do things like this:
eol-tools a ./src ./dist
It will print out the results and indicate one of five possible states:
- None: there were no line endings detected at all, so the EOL type could not be determined. This typically happens on empty files
- UNIX: all EOL markings are
\n
- Windows: all EOL markings are
\r\n
- Apple: all EOL markings are
\r
(where did you find this relic?) - Mixed: there is a cominbination of different markings used in the file
Converting the line endings of files
WARNING: this command is not well tested. Since it's a destructive operation, be careful with it.
You can normalize the line endings by running the following:
eol-tools [c|convert] [-e windows|unix] [<directory>...]
You can specify if you want UNIX-style line endings (\n
, the default) or Windows-style line endings (\r\n
) by using the -e
flag.
For example, to convert all files to UNIX-style line endings, you would run:
eol-tools c ./src ./dist
or convert them to Windows-style line endings with:
eol-tools c -e windows ./src ./dist
