Jetifire - A fast Node implementation


Jetifire tool migrates support-library-dependent libraries to rely on the equivalent AndroidX packages instead.

Created using nodejs, it is dependency free and read/writes files asynchronously, that means it is very fast ⚡

Benchmark

s
This is a very fast Node port of Mike Hardy's bash version (https://github.com/mikehardy/jetifier)

``bash
mkdir -p node_modules/testing
for i in {0..1000}
do
echo "import android.arch.core.util.Function;" > node_modules/testing/file_$i.java
done
`

Bash version

`bash
npx jetify : 44.994 seconds
`

This version

`bash
npx jetifire : 2.325 seconds
`

Install Jetifire

To install jetifire, run the following command:

`bash
npm install --save jetifire
`

Usage

To process your libraries, simply run the jetifire command by putting it in an npm script or as a post install script.

1. Run the Jetifire

`bash
./node_modules/.bin/jetifire
`

Reverse mode

`bash
./node_modules/.bin/jetifire reverse
`

2. (Optional) add a postinstall script to your package.json: "postinstall": "jetifire"

Usage notes

Jetifire reads all your node_modules folder and looks for .java, .kt and .xml files, and then changes any android.support. imports to its corresponding androidx..

If there is a type in an android.support.*` package that does not come from any support library artifact, Jetifire still migrates the type as long as there is a mapping for it. However, this migration is not guaranteed to work, as there might not be mapping rules general enough to cover all the custom types.
