Programmatic Usage

Kosko provides a programmatic API. You can generate manifests directly from Node.js.

Examples

• Run Programmatically
• Run Programmatically (ESM)

Install

NPM

npm install @kosko/env @kosko/generate

Yarn

yarn add @kosko/env @kosko/generate

PNPM

pnpm install @kosko/env @kosko/generate

Example

TypeScript

import env from "@kosko/env";
import { generate, print, PrintFormat } from "@kosko/generate";
import path from "node:path";

(async () => {
  // Set environment
  env.env = "dev";

  // Set CWD (Optional)
  env.cwd = __dirname;

  // Generate manifests
  const result = await generate({
    path: path.join(env.cwd, "components"),
    components: ["*"]
  });

  // Print manifests to stdout
  print(result, {
    format: PrintFormat.YAML,
    writer: process.stdout
  });
})();

JavaScript (ESM)

import env from "@kosko/env";
import { generate, print, PrintFormat } from "@kosko/generate";
import path from "node:path";

(async () => {
  // Set environment
  env.env = "dev";

  // Set CWD (Optional)
  env.cwd = __dirname;

  // Generate manifests
  const result = await generate({
    path: path.join(env.cwd, "components"),
    components: ["*"]
  });

  // Print manifests to stdout
  print(result, {
    format: PrintFormat.YAML,
    writer: process.stdout
  });
})();

JavaScript (CJS)

const env = require("@kosko/env");
const { generate, print, PrintFormat } = require("@kosko/generate");
const path = require("node:path");

(async () => {
  // Set environment
  env.env = "dev";

  // Set CWD (Optional)
  env.cwd = __dirname;

  // Generate manifests
  const result = await generate({
    path: path.join(env.cwd, "components"),
    components: ["*"]
  });

  // Print manifests to stdout
  print(result, {
    format: PrintFormat.YAML,
    writer: process.stdout
  });
})();
