node-core-library package
Core libraries that every NodeJS toolchain project should use.
Classes
| Class | Description |
|---|---|
| Colors | (BETA) The static functions on this class are used to produce colored text for use with the node-core-library terminal. |
| ConsoleTerminalProvider | (BETA) Terminal provider that prints to STDOUT (for log- and verbose-level messages) and STDERR (for warning- and error-level messsages). |
| Executable | The Executable class provides a safe, portable, recommended solution for tools that need to launch child processes. |
| FileSystem | The FileSystem API provides a complete set of recommended operations for interacting with the file system. |
| FileWriter | API for interacting with file handles. |
| InternalError | An Error subclass that should be thrown to report an unexpected state that may indicate a software defect. An application may handle this error by instructing the end user to report an issue to the application maintainers. |
| JsonFile | Utilities for reading/writing JSON files. |
| JsonSchema | Represents a JSON schema that can be used to validate JSON data files loaded by the JsonFile class. |
| LegacyAdapters | Helper functions used when interacting with APIs that do not follow modern coding practices. |
| LockFile | A helper utility for working with file-based locks. This class should only be used for locking resources across processes, but should not be used for attempting to lock a resource in the same process. |
| MapExtensions | Helper functions for working with the Map<K, V> data type. |
| PackageJsonLookup | This class provides methods for finding the nearest “package.json” for a folder and retrieving the name of the package. The results are cached. |
| PackageName | Various functions for working with package names that may include scopes. |
| Path | Common operations for manipulating file and directory paths. |
| ProtectableMap | The ProtectableMap provides an easy way for an API to expose a Map<K, V> property while intercepting and validating any write operations that are performed by consumers of the API. |
| Sort | Operations for sorting collections. |
| StringBufferTerminalProvider | (BETA) Terminal provider that stores written data in buffers separated by severity. This terminal provider is designed to be used when code that prints to a terminal is being unit tested. |
| StringBuilder | This class allows a large text string to be constructed incrementally by appending small chunks. The final string can be obtained by calling StringBuilder.toString(). |
| Terminal | (BETA) This class facilitates writing to a console. |
| Text | Operations for working with strings that contain text. |
Enumerations
| Enumeration | Description |
|---|---|
| ColorValue | (BETA) Colors used with IColorableSequence. |
| Encoding | The allowed types of encodings, as supported by Node.js |
| FileConstants | String constants for common filenames and parts of filenames. |
| FolderConstants | String constants for common folder names. |
| NewlineKind | Enumeration controlling conversion of newline characters. |
| PosixModeBits | An integer value used to specify file permissions for POSIX-like operating systems. |
| TerminalProviderSeverity | (BETA) |
| TextAttribute | (BETA) Text styles used with IColorableSequence. |
Interfaces
| Interface | Description |

| IJsonSchemaFromFileOptions | Options for JsonSchema.fromFile() |
| IJsonSchemaValidateOptions | Options for JsonSchema.validateObject() |
| INodePackageJson | An interface for accessing common fields from a package.json file whose version field may be missing. |
| IPackageJson | An interface for accessing common fields from a package.json file. |
| IPackageJsonDependencyTable | This interface is part of the IPackageJson file format. It is used for the “dependencies”, “optionalDependencies”, and “devDependencies” fields. |
| IPackageJsonLookupParameters | Constructor parameters for PackageJsonLookup |
| IPackageJsonScriptTable | This interface is part of the IPackageJson file format. It is used for the “scripts” field. |
| IParsedPackageName | A package name that has been separated into its scope and unscoped name. |
| IParsedPackageNameOrError | Result object returned by PackageName.tryParse() |
| IProtectableMapParameters | Constructor parameters for ProtectableMap |
| IStringBuilder | An interface for a builder object that allows a large text string to be constructed incrementally by appending small chunks. |
| ITerminalProvider | (BETA) Implement the interface to create a terminal provider. Terminal providers can be registered to a Terminal instance to receive messages. |
