# jest-docblock | ||
|
||
`jest-docblock` is a package that can extract and parse a specially-formatted comment called a "docblock" at the top of a file. | ||
|
||
A docblock looks like this: | ||
```js | ||
/** | ||
* Stuff goes here! | ||
*/ | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Docblocks can contain pragmas, which are words prefixed by `@`: | ||
```js | ||
/** | ||
* Pragma incoming! | ||
* | ||
* @flow | ||
*/ | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Pragmas can also take arguments: | ||
```js | ||
/** | ||
* Check this out: | ||
* | ||
* @myPragma it is so cool | ||
*/ | ||
``` | ||
|
||
`jest-docblock` can: | ||
* extract the docblock from some code as a string | ||
* parse a docblock string's pragmas into an object | ||
|
||
## Installation | ||
```sh | ||
# with yarn | ||
$ yarn add jest-docblock | ||
# with npm | ||
$ npm install jest-docblock | ||
``` | ||
|
||
## Usage | ||
|
||
```js | ||
const code = ` | ||
/** | ||
* Everything is awesome! | ||
* | ||
* @everything is:awesome | ||
* @flow | ||
*/ | ||
export const everything = Object.create(null); | ||
export default function isAwesome(something) { | ||
return something === everything; | ||
} | ||
`; | ||
|
||
const { extract, parse } = require("jest-docblock"); | ||
|
||
const docblock = extract(code); | ||
console.log(docblock); // "/**\n * Everything is awesome!\n * \n * @everything is:awesome\n * @flow\n */" | ||
|
||
const pragmas = parse(docblock); | ||
console.log(pragmas); // { everything: "is:awesome", flow: "" } | ||
``` | ||
|
||
## API Documentation | ||
|
||
### `extract(contents: string): string` | ||
Extracts a docblock from some file contents. Returns the docblock contained in `contents`. If `contents` did not contain a docblock, it will return the empty string (`""`). | ||
|
||
### `parse(docblock: string): {[key: string]: string}` | ||
Parses the pragmas in a docblock string into an object whose keys are the pragma tags and whose values are the arguments to those pragmas. |
