Get normalized repository from package json data

Get normalized repository URL from package json data

Synopsis

People write the repository URL in their package.json file using different formats, and sometimes there is even a typo.

This module extracts the code from the npm package manager, and uses normalize-package-data, hosted-git-info and parse-github-repo-url, to parse the provided package input and return a repository URL object.

If you are interested, please check those other packages for more details.

For more information on which typos can be handled, please see typos.json.

This module mutates/normalizes the input using normalize-package-data.

If you find the returned repository URL object is not correct, it's likely an issue with one of the libraries listed earlier. Please try to triage the problem before you open an issue here.

Install

$ npm install --save get-pkg-repo

Usage

var fs = require('fs');
var getPkgRepo = require('get-pkg-repo');

fs.readFile('package.json', function(err, pkgData) {
  if (err) {
    ...
  }

  // Contents of `pkgData` are mutated/normalized by `normalize-package-data`.
  var repo = getPkgRepo(pkgData);
  console.log(repo)

API

getPkgRepo(pkgData, [fixTypo])

Returns a hosted-git-info returned object if it matches a git host. If not, it returns a url.parse object with a browse function which returns the url that can be browsed.

pkgData

Type: object or json

Should be the contents of a package.json file.

Contents of pkgData are mutated/normalized by normalize-package-data.

fixTypo

Type: boolean

If you want to fix your typical typos automatically, pass true. See the list of predefined typos.

CLI

$ npm install --global get-pkg-repo

You can use cli to see what your url will look like after being parsed.

You can enter interactive mode by typing

$ get-pkg-repo
https://github.com/stevemao/get-pkg-repo
{ type: 'github',
  protocols: [ 'git', 'http', 'git+ssh', 'git+https', 'ssh', 'https' ],
  domain: 'github.com',
  treepath: 'tree',
  filetemplate: 'https://{auth@}raw.githubusercontent.com/{user}/{project}/{committish}/{path}',
  bugstemplate: 'https://{domain}/{user}/{project}/issues',
  gittemplate: 'git://{auth@}{domain}/{user}/{project}.git{#committish}',
  sshtemplate: 'git@{domain}:{user}/{project}.git{#committish}',
  sshurltemplate: 'git+ssh://git@{domain}/{user}/{project}.git{#committish}',
  browsetemplate: 'https://{domain}/{user}/{project}{/tree/committish}',
  docstemplate: 'https://{domain}/{user}/{project}{/tree/committish}#readme',
  httpstemplate: 'git+https://{auth@}{domain}/{user}/{project}.git{#committish}',
  shortcuttemplate: '{type}:{user}/{project}{#committish}',
  pathtemplate: '{user}/{project}{#committish}',
  pathmatch: /^[\/]([^\/]+)[\/]([^\/]+?)(?:[.]git)?$/,
  protocols_re: /^(git|http|git\+ssh|git\+https|ssh|https):$/,
  user: 'stevemao',
  auth: null,
  project: 'get-pkg-repo',
  committish: null,
  default: 'https' }

You can also validate the repository url in your package.json by using the command followed by a package.json path. You can specify more than one path at a time.

$ get-pkg-repo package.json
{ type: 'github',
  protocols: [ 'git', 'http', 'git+ssh', 'git+https', 'ssh', 'https' ],
...
# or
$ cat package.json | get-pkg-repo --fix-typo
{ type: 'github',
  protocols: [ 'git', 'http', 'git+ssh', 'git+https', 'ssh', 'https' ],
...
