About

This package includes a parser and transformer for this custom JS object schema structure.

Installation

yarn add -D jsos

Usage

jsosParser

The parser receives the JS object schema definition and creates an abstract tree.

Example

const definitions = {
  colors: {
    blue: {
      100: '#00f',
    },
  },
};

const elements = jsosParser(definitions);

The generated tree becomes:

[
  {
    "type": "NodeType",
    "path": "",
    "value": [
      {
        "type": "NodeType",
        "path": "colors",
        "value": [
          {
            "type": "NodeType",
            "path": "colors.blue",
            "value": [
              {
                "type": "StringType",
                "path": "colors.blue.100",
                "value": "#00f"
              }
            ]
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
]

Elements types

interface JSOSParserNodeElement {
  type: 'NodeType';
  path: string;
  value: JSOSParserElement[];
}

interface JSOSParserStringElement {
  type: 'StringType';
  path: string;
  value: string;
}

interface JSOSParserNumericElement {
  type: 'NumericType';
  path: string;
  value: number;
}

interface JSOSParserListElement {
  type: 'ListType';
  path: string;
  value: JSOSParserElement[];
}

interface JSOSParserBooleanElement {
  type: 'BooleanType';
  path: string;
  value: boolean;
}

interface JSOSParserNullishElement {
  type: 'NullishType';
  path: string;
  value: null;
}

Other types:

interface JSOSParserRootElement {
  type: 'NodeType';
  path: '';
  value: JSOSParserElement[];
}

type JSOSParentElement =
  | JSOSParserNodeElement
  | JSOSParserListElement;

type JSOSPrimitiveElement =
  | JSOSParserStringElement
  | JSOSParserNumericElement
  | JSOSParserNullishElement
  | JSOSParserBooleanElement;

jsosTransformer

The transformer is responsible for navigating through the tree generated by the parser and transform it into something useful. It accepts a tree as the first argument and a set of options as the second.

To transform the tree, you can pass transformer functions to through the option object's transformers in the form of an object:

{
  transformers: {
    NodeType() { /* ... */ },
    StringType() { /* ... */ },
    NumericType() { /* ... */ },
    ListType() { /* ... */ },
    BooleanType() { /* ... */ },
    NullishType() { /* ... */ },
  }
}

Note: To define your transformers, you can import the NODE_TYPE, STRING_TYPE, NUMERIC_TYPE, LIST_TYPE, BOOLEAN_TYPE and NULLISH_TYPE variables and use them to define the keys.

Example

const elements = jsosParser(definitions);
const content = jsosTransformer(elements, {
  transformers: {
    [STRING_TYPE](element, { content, parseValue }) {
      content.append(
        `--${element.path.split('.').join('-').toLowerCase()}: ${parseValue(
          element.value,
        )};`,
      );
    },
  },
});

Results in:

--colors-blue-100: #00f;

jsosTransformer options

interface JSOSTransformerOptions<T = Record<string, any>> {
  valueParsers: Record<string, ValueParser>;
  transformers: Partial<
    Record<JSOSParserElementType, JSOSTransformerFunction<T>>
  >;
  makeContext?(context: JSOSTransformerContext): T;
  context: JSOSTransformerContext | (JSOSTransformerContext & T);
  initialValue: string | Record<string, any>;
}

Transformers' context

interface JSOSTransformerContext {
  elements: JSOSParserElement[];
  transform: JSOSTransformer;
  transformers: Record<JSOSParserElementType, JSOSTransformerFunction>;
  parseValue: ParseValue;
  content: Content;
  findByPath(
    path: string,
    elements?: JSOSParserElement[],
  ): JSOSParserElement | undefined;
}

The content is a class that contains the transpiled content. To modify the content you can use:

// If the initialValue is a string or undefined
interface StringContent {
  value: string;
  append(value: string): this;
  prepend(value: string): this;
}

// If the initialValue is an object
interface ObjectContent {
  value: Record<string, any>;
  append(path: string, value: any): this;
  prepend(path: string, value: any): this;
}
