jsmaker v0.0.2

jsmaker

Make JavaScript modules from text and binary files. Export a file content in plain text, base64 or Uint8Array. Save as CommonJS, ESM or UMD. Load as a normal JS module. Bundle

Install

npm install jsmaker --global

CLI

jsmaker example.txt -m umd -t text -o example.js

Arguments:

• -t, --type - type of exported data (text default, uint8, base64)
• -m, --module - module format (cjs default, esm, umd)
• -o, --output - output file name

Using stdin and stdout:

cat example.wasm | jsmaker -m cjs -t uint8 > example.js

API

const jsmaker = require('jsmaker')
const fs = require('fs')
const file = fs.readFileSync('./example.txt')
const res = jsmaker(file, { module: 'cjs', type: 'text' })
fs.writeFileSync('./example.js', res)

Motivation

Publishing JS packages that include non-js files is hard. Loading them is even harder. Wrapping files in JavaScript modules simplifies that process

But it's not async!

Yes, and you should probably use async fetch in 99% cases. Especially when developing for browsers and a file size is large

Alternatives

• fetch
• exportify
• wasm2js
