🔎 literal-parser

> A small library to parse and serialize JavaScript array/object literal.

This is like a JSON.parse / JSON.serialize but for JavaScript object instead of JSON objects.

Gist

``js
import Parser from '@dldc/literal-parser';

Parser.parse('{ some: ["object", { literal: true }] }');
// return an object { some: ["object", { literal: true }] }
`

API

$3

> Parse the string, expect the string to contain only one expression and throw otherwise.

Return the parsed object.

$3

> Parse one expression then stop.

Returns a object with { value, length } where value is the parsed expression and length is the number of character parsed.

`js
Parser.parseOne('{ props: true }} something="else" />');
// { value: { props: true }, length: 15 }
`

$3

> Print an object.

format is optional and can be one of the following:

#### { mode: 'line' } | 'line'

> Print on a single line with spaces. _This is the default format_

#### { mode: 'compact' } | 'compact'

> Print on a single line without any spaces.

#### { mode: 'indent' } | 'indent' | number

> Similar to JSON.stringify(obj, null, indent).

Options:

- space (default: 2)

#### { mode: 'pretty' } | 'pretty'

> Inspired by prettier, this mode will try to print objects and arrays on a single line, if the result is bigger than the threshold then it's splitted into multiple lines.

Options:

- space (default: 2)
- threshold (default: 80`)
