NAME

Nodejs::Util - Utilities related to Node.js

VERSION

This document describes version 0.005 of Nodejs::Util (from Perl distribution Nodejs-Util), released on 2016-07-01.

FUNCTIONS

get_nodejs_path(%args) -> any

Check the availability of Node.js executable in PATH.

Return the path to executable or undef if none is available. Node.js is usually installed as 'node' or 'nodejs'.

This function is not exported by default, but exportable.

Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

  • all => bool

    Find all node.js instead of the first found.

    If this option is set to true, will return an array of paths intead of paths.

Return value: (any)

nodejs_available(%args) -> [status, msg, result, meta]

Check the availability of Node.js.

This is a more advanced alternative to get_nodejs_path(). Will check for node or nodejs in the PATH, like get_nodejs_path(). But you can also specify minimum version (and other options in the future). And it will return more details.

Will return status 200 if everything is okay. Actual result will return the path to executable, and result metadata will contain extra result like detected version in func.version.

Will return satus 412 if something is wrong. The return message will tell the reason.

This function is not exported by default, but exportable.

Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

  • all => bool

    Find all node.js instead of the first found.

    If this option is set to true, will return an array of paths intead of paths.

  • min_version => str

Returns an enveloped result (an array).

First element (status) is an integer containing HTTP status code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second element (msg) is a string containing error message, or 'OK' if status is 200. Third element (result) is optional, the actual result. Fourth element (meta) is called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra information.
