parse-appcache-manifest

Parses HTML5 application cache manifest.

Usage

npm install parse-appcache-manifest

Direct Object

parseManifest = require("parse-appcache-manifest")
entries = parseManifest(manifest)

entries will be an object with four properties: cache, network, fallback, and settings.

cache, settings, and network are arrays which contain entries.

fallback is an object with the url (or url pattern) as key, and the fallback url as value.

Tokenized

If you need access to a tokenized version of the manifest file (e.g., you want to modify an existing manifest file and need to preserve comments and newlines, etc)

appcacheParse  = require 'parse-appcache-manifest'
result = appcacheParse(input).tokens

where result is a flat, ordered list of tokens that comes back.

input =

CACHE MANIFEST

# some explicit resources
CACHE:
/happy.html
/good.css

NETWORK:
*
http://*
https://*

result =

[
  { type: 'magic signature', value: 'CACHE MANIFEST' },
  { type: 'newline' },
  { type: 'comment', value: 'some explicit resources' },
  { type: 'mode', value: 'CACHE' }
  { type: 'data', tokens: [ '/happy.html' ] },
  { type: 'data', tokens: [ '/good.css' ] },
  { type: 'newline' },
  { type: 'mode', value: 'NETWORK' }
  { type: 'data', tokens: [ '*' ] },
  { type: 'data', tokens: [ 'http://*' ] },
  { type: 'data', tokens: [ 'https://*' ] }
]

You can use https://github.com/meryn/render-appcache-manifest to convert a token list back to an appcache manifest.
