github-codeowners-parser

Description

github-codeowners-parser is a robust npm package tailored for parsing and handling GitHub CODEOWNERS files. Built atop the power of ANTLR4, this package provides functionality to read, parse, and manage the ownership rules defined in a CODEOWNERS file.

Features

• Parse GitHub CODEOWNERS files with precision.
• Efficiently manage paths and their associated owners.
• Advanced string matching capabilities with metric LCS (Longest Common Substring).

Installation

You can install the package via npm:

npm install github-codeowners-parser

Usage

Here's a quick start guide:

• Import the parser

  import { AddLineVisitor } from 'github-codeowners-parser';
  

• Instantiate the parser with your input string and the new line you want to add

  const input = `
  # Comment
  /path/to/some/file.js @user1
  /path/to/other/file.js @user2
  `;
  
  const newLine = "/path/to/new/file.js @user3";
  
  const visitor = new AddLineVisitor(input, newLine);
  

• Process the input and retrieve the updated content

  const processedContent = visitor.visitFile(/* Pass your parsed FileContext here */);
  console.log(processedContent);
  

API Overview

AddLineVisitor

• Constructor:

  Takes in the original content of the CODEOWNERS file and the new line that you want to insert.

  new AddLineVisitor(input: string, newLine: string)
  

• Methods:

  • visitFile(ctx: FileContext): string:
    • Processes the file and inserts the new line at the appropriate location.
    • Returns the updated content of the CODEOWNERS file.

Utility Functions:

• lcsLength(s1: string, s2: string): Returns the length of the longest common substring of two strings.

• metriclcs(s1: string, s2: string): Provides a metric measure for LCS, useful for string similarity comparisons.
