Yaml Loader is a Deno module that allows you to load yaml files and parse their contents as json.

Yaml Loader will parse your json files using the deno standard library, therefore, there aren't any third-party modules used.

Before using yaml_loader, you must first have Deno installed. If you don't, go to the Deno Installation page and follow those simple steps :)

All right, nown that we got that stuff over, you can just use the yaml_loader module in your project by add this simple line of code:

import { YamlLoader } from "https://deno.land/x/yaml_loader/mod.ts";

After that, we can start utilizing the YamlLoader class! The only method inside of the class that you need is parseFile. It is an asynchronous method, though, so remember to always await for it to be done ;) Here is an example of using the YamlLoader:

There is a breaking change when updating from v0.0.0 to v0.1.0 The parseYamlFile method on YamlLoader is now named parseFile

import { YamlLoader } from "https://deno.land/x/yaml_loader/mod.ts";

const yamlLoader = new YamlLoader();

const parsedYamlFile = await yamlLoader.parseFile("./foo.yaml");

console.log(parsedYamlFile);

The above code would parse the foo.yaml file and set its json-ified contents to the parsedYamlFile constant. After that, we are just logging out the data as an object from foo.yaml after it is parsed.
