yaml.js |
======= |
|
![Build status](https://travis-ci.org/jeremyfa/yaml.js.svg?branch=develop) |
|
Standalone JavaScript YAML 1.2 Parser & Encoder. Works under node.js and all major browsers. Also brings command line YAML/JSON conversion tools. |
|
Mainly inspired from [Symfony Yaml Component](https://github.com/symfony/Yaml). |
|
How to use |
---------- |
|
Import yaml.js in your html page: |
|
``` html |
<script type="text/javascript" src="yaml.js"></script> |
``` |
|
Parse yaml string: |
|
``` js |
nativeObject = YAML.parse(yamlString); |
``` |
|
Dump native object into yaml string: |
|
``` js |
yamlString = YAML.stringify(nativeObject[, inline /* @integer depth to start using inline notation at */[, spaces /* @integer number of spaces to use for indentation */] ]); |
``` |
|
Load yaml file: |
|
``` js |
nativeObject = YAML.load('file.yml'); |
``` |
|
Load yaml file: |
|
``` js |
YAML.load('file.yml', function(result) |
{ |
nativeObject = result; |
}); |
``` |
|
Use with node.js |
---------------- |
|
Install module: |
|
``` bash |
npm install yamljs |
``` |
|
Use it: |
|
``` js |
YAML = require('yamljs'); |
|
// parse YAML string |
nativeObject = YAML.parse(yamlString); |
|
// Generate YAML |
yamlString = YAML.stringify(nativeObject, 4); |
|
// Load yaml file using YAML.load |
nativeObject = YAML.load('myfile.yml'); |
``` |
|
Command line tools |
------------------ |
|
You can enable the command line tools by installing yamljs as a global module: |
|
``` bash |
npm install -g yamljs |
``` |
|
Then, two cli commands should become available: **yaml2json** and **json2yaml**. They let you convert YAML to JSON and JSON to YAML very easily. |
|
**yaml2json** |
|
``` |
usage: yaml2json [-h] [-v] [-p] [-i INDENTATION] [-s] [-r] [-w] input |
|
Positional arguments: |
input YAML file or directory containing YAML files. |
|
Optional arguments: |
-h, --help Show this help message and exit. |
-v, --version Show program's version number and exit. |
-p, --pretty Output pretty (indented) JSON. |
-i INDENTATION, --indentation INDENTATION |
Number of space characters used to indent code (use |
with --pretty, default: 2). |
-s, --save Save output inside JSON file(s) with the same name. |
-r, --recursive If the input is a directory, also find YAML files in |
sub-directories recursively. |
-w, --watch Watch for changes. |
``` |
|
**json2yaml** |
|
``` |
usage: json2yaml [-h] [-v] [-d DEPTH] [-i INDENTATION] [-s] [-r] [-w] input |
|
Positional arguments: |
input JSON file or directory containing JSON files. |
|
Optional arguments: |
-h, --help Show this help message and exit. |
-v, --version Show program's version number and exit. |
-d DEPTH, --depth DEPTH |
Set minimum level of depth before generating inline |
YAML (default: 2). |
-i INDENTATION, --indentation INDENTATION |
Number of space characters used to indent code |
(default: 2). |
-s, --save Save output inside YML file(s) with the same name. |
-r, --recursive If the input is a directory, also find JSON files in |
sub-directories recursively. |
-w, --watch Watch for changes. |
``` |
|
**examples** |
|
``` bash |
# Convert YAML to JSON and output resulting JSON on the console |
yaml2json myfile.yml |
|
# Store output inside a JSON file |
yaml2json myfile.yml > ouput.json |
|
# Output "pretty" (indented) JSON |
yaml2json myfile.yml --pretty |
|
# Save the output inside a file called myfile.json |
yaml2json myfile.yml --pretty --save |
|
# Watch a full directory and convert any YAML file into its JSON equivalent |
yaml2json mydirectory --pretty --save --recursive |
|
# Convert JSON to YAML and store output inside a JSON file |
json2yaml myfile.json > ouput.yml |
|
# Output YAML that will be inlined only after 8 levels of indentation |
json2yaml myfile.json --depth 8 |
|
# Save the output inside a file called myfile.json with 4 spaces for each indentation |
json2yaml myfile.json --indentation 4 |
|
# Watch a full directory and convert any JSON file into its YAML equivalent |
json2yaml mydirectory --pretty --save --recursive |
