recursively detect whether a directory with a package.json is a parcel
A parcel is a convention for defining a front-end asset management structure.
A parcel MUST have:
A parcel MAY have:
Suppose we have 3 directories in views/: page1, page2, and page3.
views/page1 is a valid parcel because its package.json has a view field:
{
"view": "view.html",
"main": "main.js"
}
views/page2 is a also valid parcel because its package.json has a view field:
{
"view": "render.jade"
}
views/page2/sub is a valid parcel that is nested inside of views/page2:
{
"view": "beep.html"
}
views/page3 is not a valid parcel because it does not have a "view"
field:
{
"name": "not a parcel"
}
Running parcel-finder on this directory structure with this finder:
var detect = require('parcel-finder');
detect(__dirname + '/views', function (err, parcels) {
console.log(JSON.stringify(parcels, null, 2));
});
gives this output:
{
"/home/substack/projects/parcel-finder/example/views/page1/package.json": {
"view": "view.html",
"main": "main.js"
},
"/home/substack/projects/parcel-finder/example/views/page2/package.json": {
"view": "render.jade"
},
"/home/substack/projects/parcel-finder/example/views/page2/sub/package.json": {
"view": "beep.html"
}
}
var detect = require('parcel-finder')
Resolve the directory starting at opts.dir
recursively to find parcels.
cb(err, parcels)
is called when the detection is complete with a map of
package.json paths to package.json contents for package.jsons that are
determined to be parcels.
If opts
is a string, treat the string as the opts.dir
.
With npm do:
npm install parcel-finder
