or if you prefer yarn:

yarn add @push.rocks/smartyaml

This will add @push.rocks/smartyaml to your project's dependencies and enable you to start using the library to handle YAML data in a smart way.

Usage

To utilize @push.rocks/smartyaml in your TypeScript project, simply import the desired functionality from the package. This library streamlines YAML data handling by providing straightforward functions for converting YAML strings to objects and vice versa. Let's dive into how you can leverage these capabilities in your applications.

Basic Conversion: YAML String to JavaScript Object

Imagine you're building an application that needs to process configuration files stored in YAML format. With @push.rocks/smartyaml, converting these YAML strings into JavaScript objects for easy manipulation is a breeze.

First, here's how you import the function to convert a YAML string to a JavaScript object:

import { yamlStringToObject } from '@push.rocks/smartyaml';

Assuming you have a YAML string like this:

name: John Doe
age: 30
address:
  street: 1234 Somewhere Street
  city: Anytown
  zip: '12345'

You can convert it to a JavaScript object as follows:

const yamlExample = `
name: John Doe
age: 30
address:
  street: 1234 Somewhere Street
  city: Anytown
  zip: '12345'
`;

async function convertYamlToObject() {
  try {
    const yamlObject = await yamlStringToObject(yamlExample);
    console.log(yamlObject);
    /*
     * Output:
     * {
     *   name: 'John Doe',
     *   age: 30,
     *   address: { street: '1234 Somewhere Street', city: 'Anytown', zip: '12345' }
     * }
     */
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(`Error converting YAML to object: ${error}`);
  }
}

convertYamlToObject();

Converting JavaScript Objects back into YAML Strings

Let's say you've now manipulated your configuration data, and you want to save these changes back in a YAML file. @push.rocks/smartyaml provides a handy function for that:

import { objectToYamlString } from '@push.rocks/smartyaml';

Considering you have a JavaScript object like this:

const jsObject = {
  name: 'John Doe',
  age: 30,
  address: {
    street: '1234 Somewhere Street',
    city: 'Anytown',
    zip: '12345'
  }
};

You can convert it to a YAML string as follows:

async function convertObjectToYaml() {
  try {
    const yamlString = await objectToYamlString(jsObject);
    console.log(yamlString);
    /*
     * Output:
     * "name: John Doe\nage: 30\naddress:\n  street: 1234 Somewhere Street\n  city: Anytown\n  zip: '12345'\n"
     */
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(`Error converting object to YAML: ${error}`);
  }
}

convertObjectToYaml();

These simple examples illustrate how @push.rocks/smartyaml greatly simplifies the process of converting between YAML strings and JavaScript objects, making it a valuable tool for managing configuration files or any data stored in YAML format in your TypeScript project.
