Introduction to hosted-git-info

The hosted-git-info library is a utility for parsing and transforming Git URLs, commonly used in the Node.js environment. It provides dozens of useful APIs that help in managing and interacting with Git hosted projects. Below, we will explore various APIs with practical examples.

API Examples

1. parse(url)

Parse a given Git URL into a more manageable object.

 const hostedGitInfo = require('hosted-git-info'); const info = hostedGitInfo.fromUrl('https://github.com/npm/hosted-git-info'); console.log(info); 

2. tarballurl()

Retrieve the tarball URL for the project.

 const tarballUrl = info.tarballurl(); console.log(tarballUrl); 

3. sshurl()

Retrieve the SSH URL for cloning the repository.

 const sshUrl = info.sshurl(); console.log(sshUrl); 

4. File URLs

Generate URLs to files within the repository.

 const fileUrl = info.file('path/to/file.js'); console.log(fileUrl); 

Example Application Using APIs

Let’s create a Node.js application that uses the hosted-git-info library to fetch and display repository information based on user input.

 const hostedGitInfo = require('hosted-git-info'); const readline = require('readline');
const rl = readline.createInterface({
  input: process.stdin,
  output: process.stdout
});
rl.question('Enter Git URL: ', (url) => {
  const info = hostedGitInfo.fromUrl(url);
  if (info) {
    console.log('Repository Info:', info);
    console.log('Tarball URL:', info.tarballurl());
    console.log('SSH URL:   ', info.sshurl());
    console.log('HTTP URL:', info.http());
  } else {
    console.log('Invalid URL');
  }
  rl.close();
}); 

This demonstrates how you can leverage the power of the hosted-git-info library to enhance your Node.js applications.
