Convert Java .properties files to JSON (using JavaScript).

The function propertiesToJSON takes a string and returns a JavaScript object.

Read a local file in node:

const fs = require("fs")
const path = require("path")
const filePath = path.join(__dirname, "sample.properties")
const propertiesToJSON = require("properties-to-json")

fs.readFile(filePath, { encoding: "utf-8" }, (err, data) => {
    if (!err) {
        console.log(propertiesToJSON(data))
    }
})

Read a remote file in the browser:

const propertiesToJSON = require("properties-to-json")

const propsFile = new Request(
    "https://gitcdn.link/repo/ryanpcmcquen/propertiesToJSON/master/sample.properties"
)

const props = fetch(propsFile)
    .then((response) => response.text())
    .then((text) => {
        const propsText = propertiesToJSON(text)
        console.log(propsText)
        return propsText
    })

How do I get it?

1. yarn add properties-to-json
2. Profit.
