Drafter NPM Package
The Drafter NPM package is an API Blueprint parser for Node. This package is a wrapper around the underlying C++ parser Drafter. Drafter NPM optionally depends on the C++ binding to Drafter Protagonist. If for any reason Protagonist is not installable, this package will fallback to using the slower, pure JavaScript version of Drafter, drafter.js.
Installation
Drafter can be installed from NPM. If you want to use Drafter from a web browser, check out drafter.js.
$ npm install drafter
Usage
var drafter = require('drafter');
Once you've included drafter, you can parse an API Blueprint asynchronously:
var options = {
generateSourceMap: true,
};
drafter.parse('# API Blueprint...', options, function(err, result) {
if (err) {
console.log(err);
} else {
console.log(result);
}
});
Alternatively, you can use Drafter synchronously:
try {
var result = drafter.parseSync('# API Blueprint...', options);
console.log(result);
} catch (err) {
console.log(err);
}
Parsing Options
Options can be passed to the parser as an optional second argument to both the asynchronous and synchronous interfaces:
var options = {
generateSourceMap: true
}
drafter.parse('# My API', options, callback);
The available options are:
Name | Description |
---|---|
requireBlueprintName | Require parsed blueprints have a title (default: false) |
generateSourceMap | Enable sourcemap generation (default: false) |
