# Dumper

Library for extracting attachments, notes and metadata out of formats used by popular note-taking apps.

## Features

- **Markdown**: all notes are converted to Markdown automatically, no matter what format each note uses.
- **Modular**: each supported format is implemented by a "provider", additional providers can be implemented easily, learn more about implementing one yourself [here](https://github.com/notable/dumper/blob/master/.github/CONTRIBUTING.md).
- **Lightweight**: extra care has been taken to ensure this library is lightweight, no external DOM implementation is loaded by default and the most lightweight dependencies are being used.

## Install

```sh
npm install --save @notable/dumper
```

## Providers

The following providers are currently implemented:

- **Enex**: it can import notes exported via [Evernote](https://evernote.com).
- **Extensions**: `.enex`.
- **Boostnote**: it can import notes written using [Boostnote](https://boostnote.io).
- **Extensions**: `.cson`.
- **HTML**: it can import HTML notes, most popular note-taking apps can export to HTML.
- **Extensions**: `.html`, `.htm`.
- **Markdown**: it can import plain Markdown notes.
- **Extensions**: `.md`, `.mkd`, `.mkdn`, `.mdwn`, `.mdown`, `.markdown`, `.markdn`, `.mdtxt`, `.mdtext`, `.txt`.

## Usage

The following interfaces are provided:

```ts
interface Dumper {
isSupported ( source: string ): boolean,
dump ( options: Options ): Promise
}

interface Options {
DOMParser?: DOMParser, // This option is only optional if you are in a browser-like environment, e.i. "window.DOMParser" exists
source: string | string[],
dump ( note: Note ): void | Promise
}

interface Note {
metadata: {
title: string,
tags: string[],
attachments: {
metadata: {
name: string,
created: Date,
modified: Date
},
content: Uint8Array
}[],
deleted: boolean,
favorited: boolean,
pinned: boolean,
created: Date,
modified: Date
},
content: Uint8Array
}
```

You can use the library like so:

```ts
import * as path from 'path';
import Dumper from '@notable/dumper';

Dumper.dump ({
source: path.join ( __dirname, 'source.html' ),
dump ( note ) {
// Do something with each given note object...
}
});
```
