network-conf-debian v1.0.1

Network Config Converter

Overview

Network Config Converter is a Node.js module that allows you to convert Debian network configuration files to JSON format and vice versa. This can be useful for programmatically managing network configurations in a consistent format.

Features

• Convert Debian network configuration files to JSON format.
• Convert JSON formatted network configurations back to Debian network configuration files.

Installation

To install the module, use npm:

npm install network-conf-debian

Usage

Converting Network Configuration File to JSON

To convert a Debian network configuration file to JSON, use the convertNetworkFileToJSON function.

Example

const { convertNetworkFileToJSON } = require("network-conf-debian");

const networkConfigPath = "path/to/network-config";
const outputJSONPath = "path/to/network-config.json";

convertNetworkFileToJSON(networkConfigPath, outputJSONPath);

Callback Example

You can also use a callback function to handle the converted configuration:

const {
  convertNetworkFileToJSON,
  convertJSONFileToNetworkConfig,
} = require("network-conf-debian");

convertNetworkFileToJSON("/etc/network/interfaces", null, (jsonConfig) => {
  console.log(jsonConfig);
});

Converting JSON to Network Configuration File

To convert a JSON formatted network configuration to a Debian network configuration file, use the convertJSONFileToNetworkConfig function.

Example

const { convertJSONFileToNetworkConfig } = require("network-conf-debian");

const jsonFilePath = "path/to/network-config.json";
const outputNetworkConfigPath = "path/to/network-config";

convertJSONFileToNetworkConfig(jsonFilePath, outputNetworkConfigPath);

API

convertNetworkFileToJSON(filePath, outputFilePath)

Converts a Debian network configuration file to a JSON file.

Parameters

• filePath (string): Path to the input network configuration file.
• outputFilePath (string): Path to the output JSON file. If not provided, the JSON string will be returned.
• callback (function): Callback function to handle the converted JSON configuration.

convertJSONFileToNetworkConfig(jsonFilePath, outputFilePath)

Converts a JSON formatted network configuration file to a Debian network configuration file.

Parameters

• jsonFilePath (string): Path to the input JSON file.
• outputFilePath (string): Path to the output network configuration file. If not provided, the converted network configuration will be returned.
• callback (function): Callback function to handle the converted network configuration.

parseNetworkConfig(fileContent)

Parses the content of a Debian network configuration file and returns a JSON object.

Parameters

• fileContent (string): Content of the network configuration file.

Returns

• (object): Parsed JSON object representing the network configuration.

convertJSONToNetworkConfig(jsonConfig)

Converts a JSON object representing a network configuration to a Debian network configuration format string.

Parameters

• jsonConfig (object): JSON object representing the network configuration.

Returns

• (string): Network configuration in Debian format.

Example

Here’s an example of how to use both functions in a single script:

const {
  convertNetworkFileToJSON,
  convertJSONFileToNetworkConfig,
} = require("network-conf-debian");

// Convert Network Configuration File to JSON
const networkConfigPath = "path/to/network-config";
const outputJSONPath = "path/to/network-config.json";
convertNetworkFileToJSON(networkConfigPath, outputJSONPath);

// Convert JSON to Network Configuration File
const jsonFilePath = "path/to/network-config.json";
const outputNetworkConfigPath = "path/to/network-config";
convertJSONFileToNetworkConfig(jsonFilePath, outputNetworkConfigPath);
