How to write TOML files?

[bendavis78]

How do you write a js object to a TOML file?

[Orivoir]

The TOML spec Array provide a sample write with a pseudo JSON object as element.

contributors = [
  "Foo Bar <foo@example.com>",
  { name = "Baz Qux", email = "bazqux@example.com", url = "https://example.com/bazqux" }
]

I think you can just use this object as key/value

contributors = { name = "Baz Qux", email = "bazqux@example.com", url = "https://example.com/bazqux" }

Other solution can be usage of TOML Table

[dog."tater.man"]
type.name = "pug"

The above table should be generate the below JSON

{ "dog": { "tater.man": { "type": { "name": "pug" } } } }

this lib doesn't support that

Is there any lib that supports it?

@dzcpy looks like this one does: https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri-toml but the last commit was in 2019 :/

You can search for other here: https://npms.io/search?q=toml

Thanks for your reply. I found this one might be a better alternative. It supports TOML 0.5 https://npmjs.com/package/@iarna/toml

Serializing toml is a strange requirement in my opinion, after all, Object2toml can have many different results. Maybe template strings are better suited for this?
