asset-pipe-js-writer

Greenkeeper badge

This is an internal module intended for use by other modules in the asset-pipe project.

This module reads a CommonJS module entry point for javascript files and resolves all the dependencies into an asset feed. It returns an Browserify instance.

The output of this module can be piped into the asset-pipe-js-reader module to build executable javascript bundles for the browser.

Data format

What we refere to as an asset feed is the internal data format used in Browserify. We use the exact same data format as Browserify in the asset-pipe project.

When Browserify resolves CommonJS modules each dependency will be read and transformed into an object which looks something like this:

{
    "id":"c645cf572a8f5acf8716e4846b408d3b1ca45c58",
    "source":"\"use strict\";module.exports.world=function(){return\"world\"};",
    "deps":{},
    "file":"./assets/js/bar.js"
}

Each such object is emitted on a stream for each dependency. This is the asset feed.

Installation

$ npm install asset-pipe-js-writer

Usage

Read an CommonJS module entry point and pipe the feed to a JSON on disc:

const JSONStream = require('JSONStream');
const Writer = require('asset-pipe-js-writer');
const fs = require('fs');
 
const writer = new Writer('./js/browser.main.js');
writer.bundle().pipe(JSONStream.stringify()).pipe(fs.createWriteStream('./feed/a.json'));
