WebPd .pd file parser

A .pd file parser implemented in TypeScript. Compatible with node.js and web browsers.

This is part of the WebPd project, but can also be used as a standalone library.

Usage

First install with : npm i --save @webpd/pd-parser.

Then import and use in your own module. Here is an example on node.js :

// my-parser.mjs
import { readFileSync } from 'fs'
import parse from '@webpd/pd-parser'

// Read a pd file
const somePdFile = readFileSync('./some-pd-file.pd', { encoding: 'utf8' })

// Parse the pd file text to a javascript object you can directly work with
const result = parse(somePdFile)

// Print the result of the parsing operation
console.log('RESULT : ', result)

// Print the JS representation of the pd file
console.log('PATCH : ', result.pd)

Pd JS object structure

The JS representation of a Pd File is specified in the following TypeScript file.
