npm publish about aliasify HOT 9 CLOSED

Oops! I'll take care of this today. I'm at an airport right now, but I
should have a moment to do this shortly. :)

Hello @benbria https://github.com/benbria

I would like to use aliasify but did not found it in the npm repository.
Could you publish it?

PS: I would prefer just passing a plain js hash to the transform as I it
makes independent from how you handle your configuration:

var builder = browserify();

builder.transform(require('./aliasify')(app.settings.aliasify));

//...

Best,
Bo

There was a lively discussion here btw, about the configuration of transform options. :)

I do not find the discussion?

Ps: good flight!

A link would be good. :) browserify/browserify#546

Package is now published. Working on configuring. I'm going to make it so you do:

aliasify = require('aliasify').configure(config, {configDir: __dirname});

where configDir is used to resolve relative paths in the config.

Ah okay was on the wrong repository...

I am not aware of your implementation in detail but from my experience its the most easiest to pass it directly to the function as you suggested first in the discussion.

Example with HTML + custom parser option:

var through = require('through');

var regex = /\.[0-9a-z]+$/i;

module.exports = function(options) {

    return function(filename) {
        var template = '';

        if (!isHTMLFile(filename)) {
            return through();
        }

        var stream = through(read, end);

        function read(string) {
            template += string;
        }
        function end() {
            var module = 'module.exports =';

            if (options && options.callback) {
                template = options.callback(template);
            }
            module += JSON.stringify(template);

            this.queue(module);
            this.queue(null);
        }

        return stream;
    };
};

function isHTMLFile(filename) {
    var extension = regex.exec(filename).pop();

    return extension === '.html';
}

I also would move the directory option into the config hash.

I played around a bit and found also an interesting approach. Unfortunately browserify loads the file before the transform so it will always crash...

var through = require('through');

module.exports = function(options) {

    return function(filename) {
        console.log(filename);
        console.log(replace(filename, options));

        return through();
    };

};

function replace(string, options) {
    for (var key in options) {
        var path = options[key];

        if (hasPrefix(string, key)) {
            string = string.replace(key, path);
        }
    }

    return string;
}

function hasPrefix(string, prefix) {
    return string.substring(0, prefix.length) === prefix;
}

from aliasify.

Ok, you can now set configuration either by doing:

aliasify = require('aliasify').configure({
    aliases: {
        "d3": "./shims/d3.js"
    },
    configDir: __dirname,
    verbose: false
});

configure() returns a new instance of aliasify, so you can generate another instance of aliasify with a different configuration if you need to, without affecting the first one.

Lemme know if that works for you. Thanks!

Yes works everything! Thank you much for your patience :)
