Usage Examples

Importing

As an ES6 module

import { PackageURL } from '@jdalton/packageurl-js'

As a CommonJS module

const { PackageURL } = require('@jdalton/packageurl-js')

Parsing

const purlStr = 'pkg:maven/org.springframework.integration/[email protected]'
console.log(PackageURL.fromString(purlStr))
console.log(new PackageURL(...PackageURL.parseString(purlStr)))

will both log

PackageURL {
    type: 'maven',
    name: 'spring-integration-jms',
    namespace: 'org.springframework.integration',
    version: '5.5.5',
    qualifiers: undefined,
    subpath: undefined
}

Constructing

const pkg = new PackageURL(
    'maven',
    'org.springframework.integration',
    'spring-integration-jms',
    '5.5.5'
)
console.log(pkg.toString())

=>

pkg:maven/org.springframework.integration/[email protected]

Error Handling

try {
    PackageURL.fromString('not-a-purl')
} catch (e) {
    console.error(e.message)
}

=>

Invalid purl: missing required "pkg" scheme component

} from '@jdalton/packageurl-js'

PurlComponent === PackageURL.Component // => true
