@agrodt/aquacrop-converter

Command-line tools for inspecting AquaCrop projects and converting supported AquaCrop 5.x and 6.x projects to the AquaCrop 7.3 layout.

The CLI accepts ZIP archives and directories, validates project references, generates the matching AquaCrop 7.3 program-parameter file, and packages the converted project as a ZIP archive. Existing AquaCrop 7.x projects can be inspected and packaged without being rewritten.

Conversion and validation are structural. AquaCrop is not bundled or executed.

Requirements

Node.js 22.12 or newer is required.

Usage

Run the package with npx:

npx @agrodt/aquacrop-converter inspect project.zip

npx @agrodt/aquacrop-converter convert project.zip \
  --output project-v73.zip \
  --strict \
  --cultivation-year-mode annual

The main options are:

• --project <path> selects a project when the input contains multiple .PRM or .PRO files.
• --strict enables strict structural validation.
• --cultivation-year-mode annual|preserve controls converted cultivation-year values.
• --report=none|text|json controls stdout output; the default is text.
• --report-file <path> writes the full conversion report to a separate JSON file.

The CLI returns a nonzero exit code when inspection or conversion fails.

See the project repository for supported project versions, conversion details, limitations, and development instructions.
