Generic StdOut parser

Version Downloads/week License

Description

Unable to find a parser for results of command 'v4l2-ctl --list-ctrls', I had to create it myself. Soooo fed up of manually creating parsers for cmd/sh/bash command line output logs , I created this NPM package to centralize all my homemade parsers at the same place, and possibly avoid to have to specify the input format

When there are useless lines added to a stdout json or xml shell output, the parser manages to detect and ignore them.

To avoid duplication with linux tables parsing of package node-shell-parser, it is possible to use 'node-shell-parser' as inputFormat

Available input formats are

  • json
  • xml
  • raw_structure_datatype_props
  • shell

Available output formats are

  • javascript object
  • JSON
  • XML

Installation

npm install generic-stdout-parser

Usage

    const StdOutParser = require('generic-stdout-parser')
    const stdoutlog = [' some useless output line','   <lelama>NUL</lelama>    ',' another useless output line']
    const parseRes = new StdOutParser(stdoutlog).parse()
    console.log(parseRes.result.lelama === "NUL")

Examples

Json to JS Object

        const StdOutParser = require('generic-stdout-parser')
        const stdoutlog = ['{ "lelama": "NUL" }']
        const parseRes = new StdOutParser(stdoutlog).parse()
        assert(parseRes.result.lelama === "NUL",'lelama property not found in '+JSON.stringify(parseRes))

JSON to JS Object with crappy extra lines:

        const StdOutParser = require('generic-stdout-parser')
        const stdoutlog = ['blablablabla','   { "lelama": "NUL" }']
        const parseRes = new StdOutParser(stdoutlog).parse()
        assert(parseRes.result.lelama === "NUL",'lelama property not found in '+JSON.stringify(parseRes))

XML to JS Object

        const StdOutParser = require('generic-stdout-parser')
        const stdoutlog = '<lelama>NUL</lelama>'
        const parseRes = new StdOutParser(stdoutlog).parse()
        assert(parseRes.result.lelama === "NUL",'lelama property not found in '+JSON.stringify(parseRes))

JSON to XML:

        const StdOutParser = require('generic-stdout-parser')
        const stdoutlog = ['{ "lelama": "NUL" }']
        const parseRes = new StdOutParser(stdoutlog,{'resultFormat': 'xml'}).parse()
        console.log(parseRes)

raw_structure_datatype_props (v4l2-ctl --list-ctrls) to JS Object:

        const StdOutParser = require('generic-stdout-parser')
        const stdoutlog = `User Controls

        brightness (int)    : min=0 max=100 step=1 default=50 value=50 flags=slider
          contrast (int)    : min=-100 max=100 step=1 default=0 value=-10 flags=slider
        saturation (int)    : min=-100 max=100 step=1 default=0 value=0 flags=slider

      h264_profile (menu)   : min=0 max=4 default=4 value=4` ;
      
        const parseRes = new StdOutParser(stdoutlog,{inputFormat: 'raw_structure_datatype_props'}).parse()
        assert(parseRes.result.find(x => x.name === 'User Controls').properties
                                    .find(x => x.name === 'brightness').properties
                                    .find(x => x.name === 'value')
                                    .value === '50',
                                    'Unable to find Camera Controls auto_exposure.max with value 3 in '+JSON.stringify(parseRes))

linux shell output to JS Object:

        const StdOutParser = require('generic-stdout-parser')
const stdoutlog = `  PID TTY          TIME CMD
        23856 pts/1    00:00:00 ps
        31475 pts/1    00:00:00 bash
        ` ;
        const parseRes = new StdOutParser(stdoutlog,{'inputFormat': 'shell'}).parse()
        assert(parseRes.result[0]['TTY'] === '23856 pts/1','Unable to find TTY = N23856 pts/1 in '+parseRes)
