reading settings from manifest

[Patrick Klug]

Since node-webkit will already parse the manifest file, is there any way I can access the data from within my JS code?

Just require it?

require("./package.json");

Please wait this pull request to merge: https://github.com/rogerwang/node-webkit/pull/559. Then you can use our js api to access it.

By the way, you can try read it using node fs module, or try Esa-Matti Suuronen's suggesstion.

I did this, i have no idea yet if this works when it is compiled though:

/**

 * Get File Contents Sync Mode

 *

 * @param {string} path

 * @return {string}

 */

exports.getContents = function (path) {

var fs = require("fs"),

file = fs.readFileSync(path, "utf8");

return file;

};

/**

 * Get Package Content Info

 *

 * @param {string} path "core.language" = "en"

 * @param {string} defaultValue

 * @return {mixed}

 */

exports.getPackageInfo = function(path, defaultValue) {

var ioFile = require('system/io/File.js');

var d = JSON.parse(ioFile.getContents(process.cwd() + "/package.json"));

if (path != null) {

var segments = path.split('.'), 

o = d;

for (var prop in segments) {

if (o[segments[prop]]) {

o = o[segments[prop]];

} else {

o = null;

}

}

if (o === Object(o)) {

return o;

} 

o = $.trim(o)

return o != "" ? o : defaultValue;

} else {

return d;

}

};
