dotcjs v1.0.1

A tool that converts file extensions such as .js or .d.ts to their .cjs and .d.cts counterparts

Description

This is a little tool that simply converts the extensions of filenames such as .js to .cjs, .js.map to .cts.map, .d.ts to .d.cts, and .d.ts.map to .d.cts.map. You might find value in it as part of your build step.

Features

• Converts .js to .cjs, .js.map to .cts.map, .d.ts to .d.cts, and .d.ts.map to .d.cts.map.
• Can be used as a CLI
• Can be used programmatically as a library
• Is an ESM package with a CommonJS fallback, so you can use it in both types of codebases.

Install

npm

$ npm install dotcjs

Yarn

$ yarn add dotcjs

pnpm

$ pnpm add dotcjs

Run once with npx

$ npx dotcjs

Usage

dotcjs can be used in a variety of ways. The most straightforward usage is directly from the CLI:

CLI usage

You can use this library as a CLI to convert the extensions of files matching an input glob.

The following command renames all files ending with .js, .js.map, .d.ts, and .d.ts.map matched by the glob **/*.* to their respective .cjs counterparts:

dotcjs **/*.*

You can also pass in second argument, outDir, to copy them to a different directory:

dotcjs dist/** dist/cjs

Here's an overview of the options that can be passed via the CLI:

$ dotcjs --help
Usage: dotcjs transform [options] <input> [outDir]

Cconverts file extensions such as .js or .d.ts to their .cjs and .d.cts counterparts based on the input glob

Options:
  -d, --debug [arg]    Whether to print debug information
  -v, --verbose [arg]  Whether to print verbose information
  -s, --silent [arg]   Whether to not print anything
  -c, --cwd [arg]      Optionally which directory to use as the current working directory
  -m, --dry [arg]      If true, no files will be written to disk
  -h, --help           display help for command

You can also just run cjstoesm without explicitly passing in thetransform` command, as the CLI defaults to executing that command.

API Usage

You can also use this library programmatically:

import {transform} from "dotcjs";

await transform({
	input: "src/**/*.*"
});

Alternatively, if you don't want the transform function to automatically write files to disk, you can pass write: false as an option and handle it yourself:

import {transform} from "dotcjs";
import fs from "fs";

const result = await transform({
	input: "src/**/*.*",
	write: false
});

// Write to disk
for (const {filename, oldFilename, text} of result.files) {
	fs.copyFileSync(oldFilename, filename);
}

API options

interface TransformOptions {
	/**
	 * The input glob(s) to match against the file system
	 */
	input: string[] | string;
	/**
	 * The output directory to use. If not given, the source files will be overwritten
	 */
	outDir?: string;
	/**
	 * If write is false, no files will be written to disk
	 */
	write?: boolean;
	/**
	 * The FileSystem to use. Useful if you want to work with a virtual file system. Defaults to using the "fs" module
	 */
	fileSystem?: FileSystem;
	/**
	 * A logger that can print messages of varying severity depending on the log level
	 */
	logger?: Loggable;
	/**
	 * The base directory (defaults to process.cwd())
	 */
	cwd?: string;

	/**
	 * If true, debug information will be printed. If a function is provided, it will be invoked for each file name. Returning true from the function
	 * determines that debug information will be printed related to that file
	 */
	debug?: boolean;
}

FAQ

Is this really just an over-engineered mv or cp command?

Yes. It truly is all it is.
