write-data
![Linux Build Status](https://img.shields.io/travis/jonschlinkert/write-data.svg?style=flat&label=Travis)
Write a YAML or JSON file to disk. Automatically detects the format to write based on extension. Or pass ext
on the options.
Please consider following this project's author, Jon Schlinkert, and consider starring the project to show your :heart: and support.
Install
Install with npm:
$ npm install --save write-data
Usage
Add to your node.js application with the following line of code:
var writeData = require('write-data');
writeData(filepath, data[, options], function(err) {
});
writeData.sync(filepath, data[, options]);
API
The file extension is used to detect the data format to write. This can be overriden by passing a value on options.ext
.
YAML examples
var data = {language: 'node_js', node_js: ['0.10', '0.12']};
writeData('.travis.yml', data, function(err) {
});
writeData.sync('.travis.yml', data);
Both would write a .travis.yml
file to disk with the following contents:
language: node_js
node_js:
- "0.10"
- "0.12"
JSON examples
var data = { name: 'foo', version: '0.1.0' };
writeData('package.json', data, function(err) {
});
writeData.sync('package.json', data);
Both would write a package.json
file to disk with the following contents:
{
"name": "foo",
"version": "0.1.0"
}
