files | mkdirp | use memory-fs and rewire to audit cli events | Search

This code exports two functions, chext and chroot, which manipulate file paths by changing extensions and checking/file paths. The code uses regular expressions and the path module for these functions.

Run example

npm run import -- "changing file names"

changing file names

var path = require('path')

function chext(file, ext) {
    return file.replace(new RegExp('\\' + path.extname(file) + '


), ext)
}

function chroot(file, root, output) {
    // TODO: example of defensive programming
    if(file.substr(0, root.length).localeCompare(root) !== 0)
        throw new Error(`File not in root ${file}`)
    return path.join(output, file.substr(root.length))
}

module.exports = {
    chext,
    chroot,
}

What the code could have been:

```javascript
const path = require('path');

/**
 * Changes the file extension.
 * @param {string} file The original file path.
 * @param {string} ext The new file extension.
 * @returns {string} The file path with the new extension.
 */
function changeExtension(file, ext) {
    const originalExtension = path.extname(file);
    return file.replace(new RegExp(`^.*(${originalExtension})

Code Breakdown

Overview

This code exports two functions, chext and chroot, which manipulate file paths.

Functions

chext(file, ext)

chroot(file, root, output)

Module Exports

The code exports an object with the two functions, chext and chroot.

Note

The chroot function has a TODO comment indicating that defensive programming examples are needed.
