A tiny utility to get language information about a file.
Simply checks the file extension against Github's list of known languages. If you need something more robust (but likely slower) then other solutions are available :-)
$ npm install @allmarkedup/fang --saveThe fang module exports a single function with the following signature:
fang(<path-to-file>);And returns and object with known information about the language, or undefined if not recognised). For example:
const fang = require('@allmarkedup/fang');
console.dir(fang('assets/styles/main.scss'));
// Outputs:
// {
// "name": "SCSS", // Language name
// "type": "programming", // language type - programming, data, markup etc
// "color": "#CF649A", // Github UI color
// "extensions": [".scss"], // Array of known extensions
// "aliases": [], // Array of known aliases
// "language_id": 32, // Github language ID
// }All language information is taken from Github's Linguist gem.
