API

Certain internal functionality of the CLI is exposed as an API that can be imported into other projects.

Example Usage

import { compilePack, extractPack } from "@foundryvtt/foundryvtt-cli";

// Extract a NeDB compendium pack.
await extractpack("mymodule/packs/actors.db", "mymodule/packs/src/actors", { nedb: true });

// Compile a LevelDB compendium pack.
await compilePack("mymodule/packs/src/actors", "mymodule/packs/actors");

compilePack(src: string, dest: string, options?: object): Promise<void>

Compile source files into a compendium pack.

Parameters

• src: string The directory containing the source files.
• dest: string The target compendium pack.
• options: object
  • nedb: boolean = false Whether to operate on a NeDB database, otherwise a LevelDB database is assumed.
  • yaml: boolean = false Whether the source files are in YAML format, otherwise JSON is assumed.
  • log: boolean = false Whether to log operation progress to the console.
  • recursive: boolean = false Whether to recurse into child directories under src, otherwise only source files located directly under src will be used.
  • transformEntry: (entry: object): Promise<false|void> A function that is called on every entry. Returning false indicates that the entry should be discarded.

extractPack(src: string, dest: string, options?: object): Promise<void>

Extract the contents of a compendium pack into individual source files for each primary Document.

Parameters

• src: string The source compendium pack.
• dest: string The directory to write the extracted files into.
• options: object
  • nedb: boolean = false Whether to operate on a NeDB database, otherwise a LevelDB database is assumed.
  • yaml: boolean = false Whether the source files are in YAML format, otherwise JSON is assumed.
  • yamlOptions object = {} Options to pass to yaml.dump when serializing Documents.
  • log: boolean = false Whether to log operation progress to the console.
  • documentType: string For NeDB operations, a documentType must be provided. This should be the same as the pack's type field in the module.json or system.json.
  • transformEntry: (entry: object): Promise<false|void> A function that is called on every entry. Returning false indicates that the entry should be discarded.
  • transformName: (entry: object): Promise<string|void> A function that is called on every entry. The value returned from this will be used as the entry's filename and must include the appropriate file extension. If nothing is returned, an auto-generated name will be used instead.
  • jsonOptions: object
    • replacer: (key: string, value: any): any|Array<string|number> A replacer function of an array of property names in the object to include in the resulting string.
    • space: string|number A number of spaces or a string to use as indentation.
