read-js-yaml

A wrapper around js-yaml to read local or remote YAML and optionally return JSON

Installation

npm install read-js-yaml

Usage

1import readJsYaml from 'read-js-yaml';
2
3// read from local directory returns JSON
4const json = await readJsYaml("./src/__tests__/__stubs__/bookmarks.yaml")
5// read from local directory returns YAML
6const yaml = await readJsYaml("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/thearegee/bookworms/main/demo/config/bookmarks.yaml", true)

There is one default function you can use from read-js-yaml.

readJsYaml(path, asYaml)

readJsYaml works as an asynconous function that takes two parameters:

• path - Required can be the path to a local YAML or remote YAML file
• asYaml - optional boolean value defaults to false, if set to true returns YAML as a string else the requested YAML is returned as JSON

NOTE: If something goes wrong like the file can't be found or returns a non 2xx the function will throw an error.
