What is vfile?

The vfile npm package is a virtual file format for text processing systems, which allows for the manipulation and handling of file-related information in a structured and consistent way. It is commonly used in projects involving the processing of markdown, text, and similar content, providing a standardized interface for plugins and utilities.

What are vfile's main functionalities?

Creating and modifying virtual files

This feature allows users to create a new virtual file and modify its contents. The example demonstrates creating a vfile with initial content and then appending additional text to it.

const vfile = require('vfile');

const file = vfile({path: './example.txt', contents: 'Hello, world!'});
file.contents += ' Modified content.';
console.log(file.contents);

Accessing file metadata

This feature enables users to access metadata of the file such as the path and basename. The example shows how to create a vfile and retrieve its path and basename properties.

const vfile = require('vfile');

const file = vfile({path: './example.txt', contents: 'Hello, world!'});
console.log(file.path); // Outputs: './example.txt'
console.log(file.basename); // Outputs: 'example.txt'

Handling errors and messages

This feature is useful for adding error or warning messages to a file, which can be particularly helpful in linting tools or compilers. The example demonstrates adding an error message to a vfile and logging all associated messages.

const vfile = require('vfile');

const file = vfile();
file.message('Unknown error', {line: 1, column: 1});
console.log(file.messages);
