Loop Capsule

A tiny helper to load modules from files with validation for different export types:

• FunctionCapsule: validates a function export
• ClassCapsule: validates a class export that matches or extends a given superclass
• ObjectCapsule: validates an instance-of a given class
• ModuleCapsule: validates an arbitrary module/object export via a custom validator

It also provides a small directory lookup utility that walks up directories to find a file or directory (e.g., package.json).

Install

• Using pnpm: pnpm add @loopfortress/capsule
• Using npm: npm i @loopfortress/capsule

Usage

JavaScript (ESM):

import { FunctionCapsule, ClassCapsule, ObjectCapsule, ModuleCapsule } from '@loopfortress/capsule'
const fnCap = new FunctionCapsule({ useDefault: true })
const fn = await fnCap.import('/abs/path/to/myFunc.mjs')

class Base {}
const classCap = new ClassCapsule(Base, { useDefault: true })
const ExportedClass = await classCap.import('/abs/path/to/myClass.mjs')

class Thing {}
const objCap = new ObjectCapsule(Thing, { useDefault: true })
const obj = await objCap.import('/abs/path/to/instance.mjs')

const moduleCap = new ModuleCapsule({ useDefault: true }, (exp) => exp && exp.ok ? false : 'missing ok')
const data = await moduleCap.import('/abs/path/to/data.mjs')

Lookup helper:

import { lookUp, lookUpSync } from '@loopfortress/capsule'
const found = await lookUp('package.json', { cwd: process.cwd() })

Running dev docker containers

Create a .env file with the following:

# Change these to match your user
DEV_UID=1000
DEV_GID=1000

Then run one of the following:

• pnpm dev: enters into an interactive devshell
• pnpm proto: runs a protoshell container
• pnpm proto-up: runs a protoshell container as a daemon
• pnpm proto-down: stop a protoshell container
• pnpm proto-logs: follow logs of a running protoshell container
• pnpm proto: runs a protoshell container

Testing

This repo uses Node's built-in test runner with assert.

• pnpm test
• or npm test
