file-normalize

file-normalize

File system utils for normalizing things like eol, encoding and BOM.

Install

Install with npm:

$ npm install --save file-normalize

Install with yarn:

$ yarn add file-normalize

API

.normalizeSlash

Normalize slashes in the given filepath to forward slashes. Note that this is a simple replacement of \\ with /, and this method does not check for URL or windows drive characters.

Params

• filepath {String}
• returns {String}

Example

var file = require('file-normalize');
console.log(file.normalizeSlash('foo\\bar'));
//=> 'foo/bar'

.normalizeEOL

Normalize line endings to use the given eol character, or the defaults of the current operating system.

Params

• str {String}
• returns {String}

Example

var fs = require('fs');
var file = require('file-normalize');
var str = fs.readFileSync('foo.txt', 'utf8');
console.log(file.normalizeEOL(str));

.normalizeNL

Normalize all line endings to unix newlines (strips carriage returns).

Params

• str {String}
• returns {String}

Example

var fs = require('fs');
var file = require('file-normalize');
var str = fs.readFileSync('foo.txt', 'utf8');
console.log(file.normalizeNL(str));

.stripBOM

Strip byte-order marks.

Params

• val {String|Buffer}
• returns {String}

Example

var fs = require('fs');
var file = require('file-normalize');
var str = file.readFileSync('foo.txt', 'utf8');
console.log(file.stripBOM(str));

.append

Append a string or buffer to another string or buffer ensuring to preserve line ending characters.

Params

• prefix {String|Buffer}: String or Buffer that will be used to check for an existing line ending. The suffix is appended to this.
• suffix {String|Buffer}: String or Buffer that will be appended to the prefix.
• returns {String|Buffer}: Final String or Buffer

Example

console.log([append(new Buffer('abc\r\n'), new Buffer('def')).toString()]);
//=> [ 'abc\r\ndef\r\n' ]

console.log([append(new Buffer('abc\n'), new Buffer('def')).toString()]);
//=> [ 'abc\ndef\n' ]

// uses os.EOL when a line ending is not found
console.log([append(new Buffer('abc'), new Buffer('def')).toString()]);
//=> [ 'abc\ndef' ]

console.log([append('abc\r\n', 'def')]);
//=> [ 'abc\r\ndef\r\n' ]

console.log([append('abc\n', 'def')]);
//=> [ 'abc\ndef\n' ]

// uses os.EOL when a line ending is not found
console.log([append('abc', 'def')]);
//=> [ 'abc\ndef' ]

.appendString

Append a string to another string ensuring to preserve line ending characters.

Params

• str {String}: String that will be used to check for an existing line ending. The suffix is appended to this.
• suffix {String}: String that will be appended to the str.
• returns {String}: Final String

Example

console.log([appendString('abc\r\n', 'def')]);
//=> [ 'abc\r\ndef\r\n' ]

console.log([appendString('abc\n', 'def')]);
//=> [ 'abc\ndef\n' ]

// uses os.EOL when a line ending is not found
console.log([appendString('abc', 'def')]);
//=> [ 'abc\ndef' ]

.appendBuffer

Append a buffer to another buffer ensuring to preserve line ending characters.

Params

• buf {Buffer}: Buffer that will be used to check for an existing line ending. The suffix is appended to this.
• suffix {Buffer}: Buffer that will be appended to the buf.
• returns {Buffer}: Final Buffer

Example

console.log([appendBuffer(new Buffer('abc\r\n'), new Buffer('def')).toString()]);
//=> [ 'abc\r\ndef\r\n' ]

console.log([appendBuffer(new Buffer('abc\n'), new Buffer('def')).toString()]);
//=> [ 'abc\ndef\n' ]

// uses os.EOL when a line ending is not found
console.log([appendBuffer(new Buffer('abc'), new Buffer('def')).toString()]);
//=> [ 'abc\ndef' ]
