Internet Archive Field Parsers

Parsers to convert strings from Internet Archive API responses to their native javascript equivalents.

Each parser implements the FieldParserInterface:

export type FieldParserRawValue = string | number | boolean;

export interface FieldParserInterface<T> {
  /**
   * Parse the raw value and return a value of type T or undefined if unparseable
   *
   * @param rawValue T | undefined
   */
  parseValue(rawValue: FieldParserRawValue): T | undefined;
}

They are responsible for parsing the input and returning the appropriate value or undefined.

Usage

Instantiate a parser or use the shared instance:

const parser = new BooleanParser()
parser.parse('true') => true

BooleanParser.shared.parse('false') => false

See tests for more usage examples.

Available Parsers:

1. Boolean
2. Byte - a number in bytes
3. Date - parses the various Internet Archive date formats
4. Duration - Parses hh:mm:ss.ms and ss.ms formats to seconds
5. MediaType - Internet Archive media types
6. Number
7. PageProgression - Internet Archive page progression (right to left, left to right)
8. String

Linting with ESLint, Prettier, and Types

To scan the project for linting errors, run

yarn run lint

You can lint with ESLint and Prettier individually as well

Tooling configs

For most of the tools, the configuration is in the package.json to reduce the amount of files in your project.

If you customize the configuration a lot, you can consider moving them to individual files.
