yaml-extra v1.1.0

Yaml: extra

yaml-extra contains methods such read(), write() that you can use easily to write or read a yaml file.

Installation

npm install yaml-extra

Usage

CommonJS

const ye = require('yaml-extra')

ESM

There is also an yaml-extra/esm import, that supports both default and named exports.

import { write, writeSync } from 'yaml-extra/esm'

Default exports are supported:

import ye from 'yaml-extra/esm'

Sync vs Async vs Async/Await

Most methods are async by default. All async methods will return a promise if the callback isn't passed.

Sync methods on the other hand will throw if an error occurs.

Also Async/Await will throw an error if one occurs.

Example:

const ye = require('yaml-extra')
const path = require('path')

// Use path join for file path
const filePath = path.join(__dirname, 'file.yaml')

// Async with promises:
ye.write(filePath, { foo: 'bar' })
  .then((doc) => console.log(doc))
  .catch((err) => console.error(err))

// Async with callbacks:
ye.write(
  filePath,
  { foo: 'bar' },
  (doc) => {
    console.log(doc)
  },
  (err) => {
    console.error(err)
  }
)

// Sync:
try {
  const doc = ye.writeSync(filePath, { foo: 'bar' })
  console.log(doc)
} catch (err) {
  console.error(err)
}

// Async/Await:
async function writeFile() {
  try {
    const doc = await ye.write(filePath, { foo: 'bar' })
    console.log(doc)
  } catch (err) {
    console.error(err)
  }
}
