Input Output format handling for the JSCAD projects

Overview

This repository includes all the input/output format handling for the JSCAD projects, and can also be used seperatly.

NOTE : as of September 1 2018, we will NOT be accepting new PRS against the V1 / master branch: we realistically are not able to keep adding new features/fixes to the 'old' version and work on the very different V2. thank you for your comprehension ! (already open PRS at that date are exempt)

Input Format Handling (deserializers)

ie: file data => jscad code (that can be evaluated to CSG/CAG)

note : currently serializers & deserializers are NOT symetrical as deserializers do not generate CSG/CAG objects: there is however work done to enable CSG/CAG output directly

deserializers with optional CSG/CAG output:

• [x] amf-deserializer
• [x] dxf-deserializer
• [ ] json-deserializer
• [x] obj-deserializer
• [x] stl-deserializer
• [x] svg-deserializer

Following formats are supported as inputs:

• AMF
• DXF
• gcode
• JSON
• OBJ
• STL (binary, ASCII)
• SVG

Output Format Handling (serializers)

ie: CSG/CAG => blob

Following formats are supported as outputs:

• AMF
• DXF
• JSON
• STL (binary, ASCII)
• SVG
• X3D

Publishing

This is for owners/ managers of the repo only, obviously :)

It is done in semi-automated manner with Lerna & conventional-commits (semantic release) It automatically checks out the master branch and pulls the latest version from the remote repo

In case of doubt, please ask @kaosat-dev for help

you need to have npm & git authorization setup beforehand

• Do a dry run first !!

npm run publish-dryrun

then answer 'no' to avoid publishing to either git or npm

• when you are SURE everything is ok and you want to publish

npm run publish

Note: DO NOT publish the packages individually and manually , unless you have very good reasons to, and have discussed it with the rest of the team
