🧪 FilesPipe

FilesPipe allows you to process files in a pipeline, making it easy to perform various actions on them.

Installation

To get started with FilesPipe, follow these steps:

Install the FilesPipe package using npm:

npm install -D -E files-pipe

Create a new pipe instance using the following code in your Index.ts file:

Index.ts

await new (await import("files-pipe")).default().In("./Input");

Getting started

With FilesPipe, you can use the Pipe method to perform actions on files within the pipe. Here's an example of how to use it in your Index.ts:

Index.ts

await(
	await(await new (await import("files-pipe")).default().In("./Input")).By(
		"**/*.md"
	)
).Pipe({
	// Append some content to all of the text files
	Wrote: (On) => (On.Buffer += "LICENSE [MIT]"),
});

Default Callbacks

FilesPipe provides default callbacks for file processing. These callbacks can be customized to suit your specific needs. Here are the default callbacks:

await new (await import("files-pipe")).default().Pipe({
	// Reads the file into a buffer
	Read: async (On) => await fs.promises.readFile(On.Input, "utf-8"),

	// Writes the buffer into a file
	Wrote: async (On) => On.Buffer,

	// Checks if the file has passed any checks
	Passed: async (On) => On && true,

	// When the file cannot be processed
	Failed: async (Input) => `Error: Cannot process file ${Input}!`,

	// When the file is processed
	Accomplished: async (On) => `Processed ${On.Input} in ${On.Output}.`,

	// When the whole plan is fulfilled
	Fulfilled: async (Plan) =>
		`Successfully processed a total of ${Plan.Files} ${
			Plan.Files === 1 ? "file" : "files"
		}.`,

	// When the plan has changed
	Changed: async (Plan) => Plan,
});

Adding Multiple Paths

You can add multiple paths to your pipe by specifying an array as the Path variable:

Index.ts

await new (await import("files-pipe")).default().In(["./Input", "./Input2"]);

Input-Output Mapping

FilesPipe allows you to provide a map of paths for different input and output directories, making it easy to control where files are read from and written to:

Index.ts

await new (await import("files-pipe")).default().In(
	new Map([["./Input", "./Output"]])
);

File Filtering

You can filter files to exclude specific ones from your FilesPipe. Filters can be an array of regular expressions or a single match. You can also use functions to match on file names:

Index.ts

await new (await import("files-pipe")).default().Not([
	"File.txt",
	(File: string) => File === "./Input/File.txt",
]);

Controlling Logging

You can control the logging level by setting the Logger parameter. The default value is 2, but you can set it to 0 if you don't want to see debug messages:

Index.ts

new (await import("files-pipe")).default(0);
