Installation
To install the get-pkg-repo
tool please run the following command:
yarn [global] add [--dev] get-pkg-repo
Usage
There are two ways to use get-pkg-repo
, either as a CLI tool, or programmatically.
Programmatically
Package data must be passed as an object to get-pkg-repo
function. If the contents of the package.json
are a string, please pass it through JSON.parse
first.
const getPkgRepo = require(`get-pkg-repo`);
/* Assume the `package.json` file contains the following:
{
"repository": {
"url": `https://github.com/conventional-changelog/get-pkg-repo`
}
}
*/
fs.readFile(`package.json`, (err, packageData) => {
if (err) {
...
}
// {domain: `github.com`, project: `get-pkg-repo`, type: `github`, user: `conventional-changelog`}
const repository = getPkgRepo(JSON.parse(packageData));
repository.browse(); // https://github.com/conventional-changelog/get-pkg-repo
});
CLI Tool
After you've installed get-pkg-repo
, you can call the tool based on whether you installed it globally or locally:
Globally
get-pkg-repo package.json
Locally
$(yarn bin)/get-pkg-repo package.json
$ get-pkg-repo package.json
{
domain: `github.com`,
project: `get-pkg-repo`,
type: `github`,
user: `conventional-changelog`
}
The contents of the package.json
can also be piped to get-pkg-repo
:
$ cat package.json | get-pkg-repo
{
domain: `github.com`,
project: `get-pkg-repo`,
type: `github`,
user: `conventional-changelog`
}
Debugging
To assist users of get-pkg-repo
with debugging the behavior of this module we use the debug utility package to print information about the publish process to the console. To enable debug message printing, the environment variable DEBUG
, which is the variable used by the debug
package, must be set to a value configured by the package containing the debug messages to be printed.
To print debug messages on a unix system set the environment variable DEBUG
with the name of this package prior to executing get-pkg-repo
:
DEBUG=get-pkg-repo get-pkg-repo
On the Windows command line you may do:
set DEBUG=get-pkg-repo
get-pkg-repo
Node Support Policy
We only support Long-Term Support versions of Node.
We specifically limit our support to LTS versions of Node, not because this package won't work on other versions, but because we have a limited amount of time, and supporting LTS offers the greatest return on that investment.
It's possible this package will work correctly on newer versions of Node. It may even be possible to use this package on older versions of Node, though that's more unlikely as we'll make every effort to take advantage of features available in the oldest LTS version we support.
As each Node LTS version reaches its end-of-life we will remove that version from the node
engines
property of our package's package.json
file. Removing a Node version is considered a breaking change and will entail the publishing of a new major version of this package. We will not accept any requests to support an end-of-life version of Node. Any merge requests or issues supporting an end-of-life version of Node will be closed.
We will accept code that allows this package to run on newer, non-LTS, versions of Node. Furthermore, we will attempt to ensure our own changes work on the latest version of Node. To help in that commitment, our continuous integration setup runs against all LTS versions of Node in addition the most recent Node release; called current.
JavaScript package managers should allow you to install this package with any version of Node, with, at most, a warning if your version of Node does not fall within the range specified by our node
engines
property. If you encounter issues installing this package, please report the issue to your package manager.
