Installation

npm install generic-text-linker --save-dev

Motivation

I wanted to have a small generic linker solution for text files so that I can avoid copy and paste, and use it different kind of automation tasks.

Usage

I present the usage of the library with the example below

Example

markdownFile1:


<!-- source begin-->
Your projects badges, or information you want to share in other files without
copy and paste on your own.
<!-- source end-->

markdownFile2:


<!-- destination begin-->
<!-- destination end-->

code:

const {linkerDir} = require('generic-text-linker')
const projectRoot = 'path to the directory where you want to use the linker.'

const source = {
  begin: '<!-- source begin-->',
  end: '<!-- source end-->'
}

const destination = {
  begin: '<!-- destination begin-->',
  end: '<!-- destination end-->'
}

let sourceData = linkerDir(projectRoot, sourceTags.begin, sourceTags.end)

const changedFilesArray = linkerDir(projectRoot, destination.begin, destination.end, sourceData)

This will change the content of markdownFile2
