component-extractor

This tool will generate component.json files of your project.

Install

npm install component-extractor

Use

component-extractor -c <path to config file>

Operation

The process will first scan the project to search components directories. Is considered a component folder, a folder containing an 'index.js' file. The name of the component is the name of its directory. The process will output a warning message if name collision is detected. Once the list of components is done, the process will search inside javascript file for require statements and use this to generate a component.json file for each components.

You define in the configuration file which directories are scanned and wich directories are extracted.

Configuration file

The configuration file is a json file where you should define 3 lists of path:

• sourcePaths is a list of directories where component.json files have to be generated.
• excludePaths is a list of directories to exclude from scanning.
• externalDependencies is a list of external dependecies with their path and version.

For instance

{
	"sourcePaths": [
		"www"
	],
	"excludePaths": [
		"bin",
		"lib"
	],
	"externalDependencies": {
		"async":   { "path": "caolan/async", "components": "0.9.0" },
		"inherit": { "path": "component/inherit", "components": "*" }
	}
}

TODO

• exclude require that are commented out in javascript code
