Reading files from any package is essential before production. But since we as developers love automating things. Validating package accessibility and detect extensions among other things should be done by code.

The good news is, this can be achieved easily in the node file system .

let's start by working on getting a file extension. We have input: filename.extension splitting the input by "." should achieve our goal easily.

`filename.extension`.split(".") 
// (2) ["filename", "extension"]

`filename.test.extension`.split(".");
// (3) ["filename", "test", "extension"]

As you notice, we need to get the last element of the result. This can be done in different ways. One of them is using pop which returns the last element of the array.

function getExtension(fileFullName) {
  return fileFullName.split(".").pop();
}

We still have a problem. We don't have the file full name. We actually have to auto-detect the extension by knowing the project root.

The first step, using readdirSync to read all files that exist in our directory.

const files = fs.readdirSync(dir);

// (4) [ 'a.js', 'b.js', 'index.js', 'package.json' ]

Then, we can use find which returns the value of the first element that satisfies function result.

const found = [10, 20, 30].find((number) => number > 10);
// 20

Now let's update our function

import fs from "fs";

function getExtension(rootDir, entry) {
  const files = fs.readdirSync(rootDir);
  // (4) [ 'a.js', 'b.ts', 'index.js', 'README.md', 'package.json' ]

  const filename = files.find((file) => {
    // return the first files that include given entry
    return file.includes(entry);
  });

  const extension = filename.split(".").pop();

  return extension;
}

// reading form current directory
const result = getExtension(".", "b");

// result: ts

We can still upgrade our function, as we usually have an index as default entry from the current directory.

function getExtension(rootDir = ".", entry = "index") {
  //
}

const result = getExtension();

// result: js

Our mission is not finished yet, but that's enough for now. Next, we will build validate together.

See you soon!

《Perl最佳实践》中所有的规则都是为了写出清晰、健壮、高效、可维护和简洁的程序而设计。Conway博士并不自诩这些规则是最广泛和最清晰的实践集,但实际上,《Perl最佳实践》确实提供了在实践中被广泛认可和应用的建议,而不是象牙塔似的编程理论。许多程序员凭直觉来编程,这些直觉来自于他们早期养成的习惯和风格。这样写出的程序似乎自然、直观,而且看起来也很不错。但是,如果你想严肃地对待程序员这份职业,那......一起来看看 《Perl最佳实践》 这本书的介绍吧!
