A package parser that can resolve self and dependencies, supporting spm/component.

---

Install

$ npm install father -g

Usage

var Package = require('father').ComponentPackage;
var pkg = new Package('path/to/package')
console.log(pkg.name);
console.log(pkg.version);
console.log(pkg.main);
console.log(pkg.dependencies); // return a object contains dependencies
console.log(pkg.get('each')); // return a package named each

Custom

If you want to use it for your package, you can extend Package and override readPackage.

var Package = require('father').Package;
var Custom = Package.extend({
  readPackage: function() {
    // read config file, E.g. component.json
    // return a package contains id, name, version, dependencies, main, dest, origin
    // dependencies should contain id, dest 
  };
})

Example for returned object by readPackage

{
  id: 'a',
  name: 'a'
  version: '1.0.0',
  main: 'index.js',
  dest: '/home/user/a',
  dependencies: {
    b: {
      id: 'b',
      dest: '/home/user/a/components/b'
    }
  }
}
