Node.js - jsonfile
Easily read/write JSON files.
Why?
Writing JSON.stringify()
and then fs.writeFile()
and JSON.parse()
with fs.readFile()
enclosed in try/catch
blocks became annoying.
Installation
npm install --save jsonfile
API
readFile(filename, [options], callback)
options
(object
, default undefined
): Pass in any fs.readFile
options or set reviver
for a JSON reviver.
throws
(boolean
, default:true
). IfJSON.parse
throws an error, pass this error to the callback. Iffalse
, returnsnull
for the object.
var jsonfile = require('jsonfile')
var file = '/tmp/data.json'
jsonfile.readFile(file, function(err, obj) {
console.dir(obj)
})
readFileSync(filename, [options])
options
(object
, default undefined
): Pass in any fs.readFileSync
options or set reviver
for a JSON reviver.
throws
(boolean
, default:true
). If an error is encountered reading or parsing the file, throw the error. Iffalse
, returnsnull
for the object.
var jsonfile = require('jsonfile')
var file = '/tmp/data.json'
console.dir(jsonfile.readFileSync(file))
writeFile(filename, obj, [options], callback)
options
: Pass in any fs.writeFile
options or set replacer
for a JSON replacer. Can also pass in spaces
and override EOL
string.
var jsonfile = require('jsonfile')
var file = '/tmp/data.json'
var obj = {name: 'JP'}
jsonfile.writeFile(file, obj, function (err) {
console.error(err)
})
formatting with spaces:
var jsonfile = require('jsonfile')
var file = '/tmp/data.json'
var obj = {name: 'JP'}
jsonfile.writeFile(file, obj, {spaces: 2}, function(err) {
console.error(err)
})
overriding EOL:
var jsonfile = require('jsonfile')
var file = '/tmp/data.json'
var obj = {name: 'JP'}
jsonfile.writeFile(file, obj, {spaces: 2, EOL: '\r\n'}, function(err) {
console.error(err)
})
appending to an existing JSON file:
You can use fs.writeFile
option {flag: 'a'}
to achieve this.
var jsonfile = require('jsonfile')
var file = '/tmp/mayAlreadyExistedData.json'
var obj = {name: 'JP'}
jsonfile.writeFile(file, obj, {flag: 'a'}, function (err) {
console.error(err)
})
writeFileSync(filename, obj, [options])
options
: Pass in any fs.writeFileSync
options or set replacer
for a JSON replacer. Can also pass in spaces
and override EOL
string.
var jsonfile = require('jsonfile')
var file = '/tmp/data.json'
var obj = {name: 'JP'}
jsonfile.writeFileSync(file, obj)
formatting with spaces:
var jsonfile = require('jsonfile')
var file = '/tmp/data.json'
var obj = {name: 'JP'}
jsonfile.writeFileSync(file, obj, {spaces: 2})
overriding EOL:
var jsonfile = require('jsonfile')
var file = '/tmp/data.json'
var obj = {name: 'JP'}
jsonfile.writeFileSync(file, obj, {spaces: 2, EOL: '\r\n'})
appending to an existing JSON file:
You can use fs.writeFileSync
option {flag: 'a'}
to achieve this.
var jsonfile = require('jsonfile')
var file = '/tmp/mayAlreadyExistedData.json'
var obj = {name: 'JP'}
jsonfile.writeFileSync(file, obj, {flag: 'a'})
