A quick & dirty Gradle build file to JavaScript object parser

gradle-to-js

What's this gradle-to-js thing?

gradle-to-js is a quick & dirty Gradle build file to JavaScript object parser. It is quick & dirty in the sense that it doesn't give you an exact replica of whatever the build file represents during runtime, as evaluations and similar bits are (currently) too much of a hassle to accurately represent while parsing.

Installation

Simply run the following command to include it into your project:

npm install gradle-to-js --save

Usage

As a module

Using gradle-to-js as a module, you can parse both strings and files as seen below.

Files

var g2js = require('gradle-to-js/lib/parser');
g2js.parseFile('path/to/buildfile').then(function(representation) {
  console.log(representation);
});

Strings

var g2js = require('gradle-to-js/lib/parser');
g2js.parseText('key "value"').then(function(representation) {
  console.log(representation);
});

The promise will eventually resolve an object matching the build file structure and values.

Using the CLI

You can also use the module directly from the CLI, and get a json representation out of it. Nifty ey? Currently only supporting files from this direction.

$ ./index.js test/sample-data/small.build.gradle

{
  "testblock": {
    "key1": "value1",
    "key2": "value2",
    "nestedKey": {
      "key3": "value3",
      "key4": "value4",
      "key5": {
        "key6": "value6"
      }
    }
  },
  "testblock2": {
    "key1": "value1",
    "key2": "value2"
  },
  "testblock3": "not really"
}
