API

# patch(existing, updated)

Patch an existing TOML string with the given updated JS/JSON value, while attempting to retain the format of the existing document, including comments, indentation, and structure.

const TOML = require('toml-patch');
const assert = require('assert');

const existing = `
# This is a TOML document

title = "TOML example"
owner.name = "Bob"
`
const patched = TOML.patch(existing, {
  title: 'TOML example',
  owner: {
    name: 'Tim'
  }
});

assert.strictEqual(patched, `
# This is a TOML document

title = "TOML example"
owner.name = "Tim"
`);

# parse(value)

Parse a TOML string into a JS/JSON value.

const TOML = require('toml-patch');
const assert = require('assert');

const parsed = TOML.parse(`
# This is a TOML document.

title = "TOML Example"

[owner]
name = "Tim"`);

assert.deepStrictEqual(parsed, {
  title: 'TOML Example',
  owner: {
    name: 'Tim'
  }
});

# stringify(value[, options])

Convert a JS/JSON value to a TOML string. options can be provided for high-level formatting guidelines that follows prettier's configuration.

options

• [printWidth = 80] - (coming soon)
• [trailingComma = false] - Add trailing comma to inline tables
• [bracketSpacing = true] - true: { key = "value" }, false: {key = "value"}

const TOML = require('toml-patch');
const assert = require('assert');

const toml = TOML.stringify({
  title: 'TOML Example',
  owner: {
    name: 'Tim'
  }
});

assert.strictEqual(toml, 
`title = "TOML Example"

[owner]
name = "Tim"`);
