# @push.rocks/projectinfo

gather information about projects. supports npm, git etc.

## Install

To install `@push.rocks/projectinfo`, you need a Node.js environment with npm. It's recommended to have TypeScript and ts-node installed for the best development experience. Run the following command:

```bash
npm install @push.rocks/projectinfo --save
```

This will add it to your project's `package.json` file and download the package into the `node_modules` folder.

## Usage

The `@push.rocks/projectinfo` module provides a powerful interface to gather detailed information about your projects, focusing on common project management tools like npm and git. Below are various examples and use cases demonstrating how to use this module effectively.

### Setup

First, make sure to import `ProjectInfo` from the package in your TypeScript file. Here's how to get started:

```typescript
import { ProjectInfo } from '@push.rocks/projectinfo';
```

### Gathering NPM Information

If you wish to extract npm-related information such as the project name and version from your `package.json`, you can instantiate `ProjectInfo` and access the `npm` property.

```typescript
const projectInfo = new ProjectInfo('./path/to/your/project');
console.log(`Project Name: ${projectInfo.npm.name}`);
console.log(`Project Version: ${projectInfo.npm.version}`);
```

This example assumes that your current working directory (`cwd`) is set correctly relative to your project. Adjust `'./path/to/your/project'` as necessary.

### Accessing Git Information

Similarly, to extract git-related information, you can access the `git` property. This allows you to get details about the git repository;

```typescript
console.log(`Git Repository: ${projectInfo.git.gitrepo}`);
// Outputs the git repository name

console.log(`Git User/Organization: ${projectInfo.git.gituser}`);
// Outputs the git user or organization name
```

It is important to note that these git properties are parsed from the local git configuration, so your project needs to be initialized with git and properly configured.

### Working with Asynchronous Operations

While the basic usage examples above are synchronous, `@push.rocks/projectinfo` might also offer functionality that requires async/await for operations that involve I/O processes, such as reading files or fetching data from remote APIs. Always refer to the specific method documentation to understand its nature (synchronous or asynchronous) and use it appropriately in your code.

### Integrating with Other Push.rocks Modules

The `@push.rocks/projectinfo` package is designed to work seamlessly with other packages from the Push.rocks suite. For instance, it utilizes `@push.rocks/smartfile` for efficient file handling, `@push.rocks/smartpath` for path manipulations, and `@push.rocks/smartpromise` for enhanced promise-based operations. This interconnectivity allows for a more integrated and efficient toolset when managing complex project setups.

### Advanced Usage and Customization

For more advanced use cases, such as customizing the way information is gathered or integrating `@push.rocks/projectinfo` into larger workflows, you are encouraged to explore the package's source code and accompanying documentation. The modular design and comprehensive TypeScript typings facilitate customization and extension to meet specific project requirements.

### Error Handling

When utilizing `@push.rocks/projectinfo` in your project automation or scripts, make sure to implement proper error handling. This helps in gracefully handling situations where project information might be missing, malformatted, or when underlying tools (npm, git) are not available in the environment.

```typescript
try {
  const projectInfo = new ProjectInfo('./path/to/your/project');
  // Use projectInfo as needed
} catch (error) {
  console.error('Failed to gather project info:', error);
}
```

### Summary

`@push.rocks/projectinfo` offers a versatile and powerful API for gathering and managing project information, making it an invaluable tool for developers looking to automate project setups, CI/CD pipelines, or simply organize and access project metadata more efficiently. Its integration with npm and git provides a solid foundation for extracting, analyzing, and utilizing essential project data across various aspects of software development and deployment workflows.

By leveraging TypeScript for development, users are afforded the benefits of static typing, including better autocompletion, easier refactorings, and improved code quality. This document has outlined basic and advanced usage scenarios, aiming to equip developers with the knowledge to effectively incorporate `@push.rocks/projectinfo` into their projects.

Note: The examples above are designed to be straightforward and easy to follow. Depending on the complexity and requirements of your specific project, you might need to adapt these examples. Always refer to the official documentation and TypeScript typings for the most accurate and up-to-date information.
