Mago

Process files or data strings using language processors.

Why?

Because each language processor utilizes a different API for processing data and files. Why not use a library that handles it for you?

Features

Mago works with files and data strings. It's built to be simple, so it will not iterate over an array of files or clean up strings, you can do that the way you prefer before passing it to mago.

Mago utilizes the file extension to determine wich processors will be used, so if you are passing data strings you will need to provide the extension.

Current supported processors

Right now Mago works with:

• Autoprefixer;
• CoffeScript;
• Jade;
• Markdown;
• Rework;
• Sass.

Examples

Processing a Markdown file:

### Example
 
This is a Markdown example file.

var mago = require("mago");
 
mago.process("path/to/file.md", function(error, finalData, finalExtension) {
 
    if (error) {
        console.error(error);
    }
 
    console.log(finalData);
});

<h1>Examples</h1>
 
<p>This is a Markdown example file.</p>

Processing a Markdown data string:

var filesystem = require("fs");
var mago = require("mago");
 
var data = filesystem.readFileSync("path/to/file.md").toString();
 
mago.processData(data, "md", function(error, finalData, finalExtension) {
 
    if (error) {
        console.error(error);
    }
 
    console.log(finalData);
});

Installation

npm install --save mago

A.P.I.

canProcess(extension)

You can run any file or data string through Mago, if it can't be processed Mago will return the original content. But if for some reason you need to know beforehand if a given file will be processed, then canProcess is your friend.

process(file, callback)

Receives a file path, determines its extension, reads the file and passes its contents to be processed by processData.

processData(data, extension, callback)

Receives a data string and run it through all processors registered for its extension.
