Iron.io Payload Parser

---

A utility to help parse the payload given to an Iron.io worker in Node.js. Required and optional variables can be specified. Or just required. Or just optional :) See the tests.

Installation

---

npm install iron-payload-parser

Usage

---

Sample payload file:

{
    "requiredVar1" : "the first required value",
    "requiredVar2" : "the second required value",
    "optionalVar2" : "an optional value"
}

---

var PayloadParser = require('iron-payload-parser');

var payload = PayloadParser(
    ['requiredVar1', 'requiredVar2'],
    {
        optionalVar1 : 'default value 1',
        optionalVar2: 'default value 2'
    }
);

console.log(payload.requiredVar1); // => "the first required value"
console.log(payload.requiredVar2); // => "the second required value"
console.log(payload.optionalVar1); // => "default value 1"
console.log(payload.optionalVar2); // => "an optional value"
