Dockerfile AST

Node.js Builds Coverage Status Build Dependencies License: MIT npm downloads per week

The dockerfile-ast NPM module is a Dockerfile parser written in TypeScript. The module provides full programmatic access to a parsed Dockerfile.

Supported features:

  • escaped newline detection
    • escape parser directive considered when parsing
  • comments preserved
    • inlined comments in multiline instructions preserved
  • continuous empty newlines honoured (albeit discouraged as of Docker CE 17.09)
  • ARG and ENV variable lookup and resolution

Unsupported:

  • \r as a a line delimiter
    • only \r\n and \n are supported as being line delimiters
    • if a \r is detected the parser assumes that it is followed by a \n
