matchkeys NPM version

A package.json utility for comparing keywords across multiple files.

Getting started

Install the module with: npm install matchkeys --save

var keys = require('matchkeys');
keys.match(arrayOne, arrayTwo));

Usage Example

var keys = require('matchkeys');

var pkg = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync('package.json', 'utf8'));
// => keywords: ['gruntplugin', 'handlebars-helper', 'assemble']
//
var pkgTwo = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync('package.json', 'utf8'));
// => keywords: ['foo', 'bar', 'assemble']

console.log(keys.match(pkg, pkgTwo));
// => ['assemble']

Methods

matchPkgs

Match an array of keywords to multiple arrays of keywords returning the package.json object for each match.

keys.matchPkgs(Array, ArrayofObjects));

Parameters:

  • Array: The package.json containing the keywords property to match against.
  • Array: An array of package.json files, each containing an array of keywords.

Note that you do not need to specify the keywords property, just the object containing the keywords property.

example

Given the following:

var keys = require('matchkeys');

var one = ['apple', 'lime', 'watermelon']
var two = [
  {
    name: 'citrus',
    keywords: ['lemon', 'lime', 'orange']
  },
  {
    name: 'grains',
    keywords: ['wheat', 'oats', 'barley']
  },
  {
    name: 'fruit',
    keywords: ['apple', 'peach', 'strawberry']
  }
];

keys.matchPkgs(one, two));

Returns:

[
  {
    name: 'citrus',
    keywords: ['lemon', 'lime', 'orange']
  },
  {
    name: 'fruit',
    keywords: ['apple', 'peach', 'strawberry']
  }
]

isMatch

Same as matchPkgs but returns true or false.

var keys = require('matchkeys');
keys.isMatch(Array, ArrayofObjects));

Parameters:

  • Array: The keywords to match against.
  • Array: Array of objects (package.json files), each containing an array of keywords.

Using the same example as keys.matchPkgs, this would return:

[false, false, true]

filter

Returns a list of keywords matching the given minimatch pattern.

var keys = require('matchkeys');
keys.filter('*')

resolve

keys.resolve('*')
// specify a different config object besides package.json
keys.resolve('*', config))

Returns the resolved paths to any npm modules that:

  1. Are listed in the dependencies of the project's package.json, and
  2. A keyword is defined matching the name of the module

resolveDev

keys.resolveDev('*')
// specify a different config object besides package.json
keys.resolveDev('*', config))

Returns the resolved paths to any npm modules that:

  1. Are listed in the devDependencies of the project's package.json, and
  2. A keyword is defined matching the name of the module

resolveDev

keys.resolveAll('*')
// specify a different config object besides package.json
keys.resolveAll('*', config))

Returns the resolved paths to any npm modules that:

  1. Are listed in the dependencies or devDependencies of the project's package.json, and
  2. A keyword is defined matching the name of the module
