Quickstart: Node - TypeScript

1. Initialize your project as a Node project.

   $ npm init -y

   Note: -y skips all of the prompts.

2. Install Accio and the ts-node CLI.

   $ npm install @drashland/accio
   $ npm install -g ts-node

3. Create your data.json file. You can copy the example_data.json file from this repository.

4. Create your app.ts file.

   import { accio } from "@drashland/accio";
   import { readFileSync } from "fs";
   
   const data = readFileSync("./data.json", "utf-8");
   
   const result = accio(data)
     .array("versions")       // Target the array named "versions"
     .findOne({               // In the array, find one object that has a name field ...
       name: "v0.0.3",        // ... with the value of "v0.0.3"
     })
     .array("release_notes")  // In the object, target the array named "release_notes"
     .findOne({               // In the array, find one object that has a title field ...
       title: "Bug Fixes",    // ... with the value of "Bug Fixes"
     })
     .array("body")           // In the object, target the array named "body"
     .first()                 // Target the first object in the array
     
   // Create the typing for the result
   type SomeType = {
     type: string;
     text: string;
   };
   
   // Use the `.get()` call and pass in the typing to get a typed result
   const typedResult = result.get<SomeType>();
   
   console.log(typedResult.type);
   console.log(typedResult.text);

5. Run your app.ts file.

   $ ts-node app.ts
