# node-procfile

A Procfile parser for node.js.

## Installation

### Installing npm (node package manager)
```
curl http://npmjs.org/install.sh | sh
```

### Installing node-procfile
```
[sudo] npm install procfile
```

## Usage
There are two simple methods when using `node-procfile`: `.parse()` and `.stringify()`. If you are familiar with using the native `JSON` methods in Javascript, there is nothing new about the API.

``` js
var fs = require('fs'),
procfile = require('procfile');

var data = fs.readFileSync('/path/to/procfile').toString(),
proc = procfile.parse(data);

console.dir(proc)
```

This outputs the results of the procfile parse:

``` js
{
web: {
command: 'node',
options: [ 'myapp.js', '-p', '80', '--some-option' ]
},
worker: {
command: 'node',
options: [ 'myworker.js', '--other-option' ]
}
}
```

## Run Tests
``` bash
$ vows --spec
```
