parsePackageJsonName

A very simple package to parse an npm package name and return some mildly interesting details about the name. It gives you back the following properties:

• scope: The scope of the package, e.g. @foo/blip.blop's scope is 'foo'
• fullName: The full name of the package, minus the scope, e.g. @foo/blip.blop's fullName is 'blip.blop'
• projectName: If there is a . character in the fullName, then this can denote the module is part of a larger project, for example lodash has modules like lodash.pluck. Given the @foo/blip.blop example, projectName would be 'blip'
• moduleName: Just like above - for our example of @foo/blip.blop, moduleName would be 'blop'.

Example

1var parsePackageJsonName = require('parsePackageJsonName');
2
3parsePackageJsonName('@foo/blip.blop').should.deep.equal({
4  scope: 'foo',
5  fullName: 'blip.blop',
6  projectName: 'blip',
7  moduleName: 'blop',
8});
9
10parsePackageJsonName('blip.blop').should.deep.equal({
11  scope: null,
12  fullName: 'blip.blop',
13  projectName: 'blip',
14  moduleName: 'blop',
15});
16
17parsePackageJsonName('blop').should.deep.equal({
18  scope: null,
19  fullName: 'blop',
20  projectName: null,
21  moduleName: 'blop',
22});
23
24parsePackageJsonName(require('lodash.pluck/package.json')).should.deep.equal({
25  scope: null,
26  fullName: 'lodash.pluck',
27  projectName: 'lodash',
28  moduleName: 'pluck',
29});
