url meta

Associate value to urls using pattern matching.

1import { URL_META } from "@jsenv/url-meta";
2
3// conditionally associates url and values
4const associations = {
5  color: {
6    "file:///*": "black",
7    "file:///*.js": "red",
8  },
9};
10const getUrlColor = (url) => {
11  const { color } = URL_META.applyAssociations({ url, associations });
12  return color;
13};
14console.log(`file.json color is ${getUrlColor("file:///file.json")}`);
15console.log(`file.js color is ${getUrlColor("file:///file.js")}`);

Code above logs

1file.json color is black
2file.js color is red

associations

associations below translates into: "files are visible except thoose in .git/ directory"

1const associations = {
2  visible: {
3    "**/*/": true,
4    "**/.git/": false,
5  },
6};

associations allows to group patterns per property which are easy to read and compose. All keys in associations must be absolute urls, this can be done with resolveAssociations.

resolveAssociations

resolveAssociations is a function resolving associations keys that may contain relative urls against an url.

1import { URL_META } from "@jsenv/url-meta";
2
3const associations = URL_META.resolveAssociations(
4  {
5    visible: {
6      "**/*/": true,
7      "**/.git/": false,
8    },
9  },
10  "file:///Users/directory/",
11);
12console.log(JSON.stringify(associations, null, "  "));

1{
2  "visible": {
3    "file:///Users/directory/**/*/": true,
4    "file:///Users/directory/**/.git/": false
5  }
6}
