read-yaml-file
Advanced tools
The read-yaml-file npm package is a simple utility for reading YAML files and converting them into JavaScript objects. It is useful for configuration files, data storage, and other scenarios where YAML is preferred over JSON or other formats.
Read YAML File
This feature allows you to read a YAML file and convert its contents into a JavaScript object. The function returns a promise that resolves with the parsed data or rejects with an error.
const readYamlFile = require('read-yaml-file');
readYamlFile('path/to/file.yaml').then(data => {
console.log(data);
}).catch(error => {
console.error(error);
});Synchronous Read
This feature provides a synchronous method to read a YAML file. It immediately returns the parsed data or throws an error if the file cannot be read.
const readYamlFile = require('read-yaml-file');
try {
const data = readYamlFile.sync('path/to/file.yaml');
console.log(data);
} catch (error) {
console.error(error);
