newick-reader

 

TypeScript support for newick library reader based on Miguel Pignatelli 2014, based on Jason Davies 2010.

Install

``bash
npm install newick-reader
`

Usage

To parse a newick string into an Object:

`typescript
import * as newickReader from 'newick-reader';

const newickString:string = '(A,(B,C));';
const treeObject = newickReader.parseNewick(newickString);

/*
treeObject =
{
children: [
{
name: 'A'
},
{
children: [
{
name: 'B'
},
{
name: 'C'
}
],
name: '',
},
],
name: '',
}
*/
`

Although this is supose to be a reader, it also comes with a writer:

`typescript
import * as newickReader from 'newick-reader';

const treeObject:object = {
children: [
{
name: 'A'
},
{
children: [
{
name: 'B'
},
{
name: 'C'
}
],
name: '',
},
],
name: '',
}

const newickString = newickReader.parseJson(treeObject);

/*
newickString = '(A,(B,C));';
*/
