Dxf-Parser

Dxf Parser is a javascript parser for dxf files. It reads dxf files into one large javascript object with readable properties and a more logical structure.

Also, keep an eye on three-dxf, a browser module for rendering the output of Dxf-Parser in the browser.

#### Install

``sh
npm install dxf-parser
`

Browsers -- As of 0.1.3 standalone browserify version is in the dist/ folder. Copy it out of the install directory or just download it from the GitHub repo directly. We may evetually publish this to bower, but the build environment needs a little work first.

#### Usage

` js
import parse, { DxfParser } from 'dxf-parser';

// Grab fileText in node.js or browser
const fileText = ...;

const parser = new DxfParser();
try {
const dxf = parser.parseSync(fileText);
}catch(err) {
return console.error(err.stack);
}
`

or

`ts
// Grab fileText in node.js or browser
import parse from 'dxf-parser';

const fileText = ...;

try {
const dxf = parse(fileText);
}catch(err) {
return console.error(err.stack);
}
`

See the wiki Example Output page to get an idea of what the results look like.

node.js

`sh

npm run build
