## Installation

```bash
npm install @lillallol/outline-pdf-data-structure
```

## Description

Creates a pdf outline data structure as defined in the pdf specification, from a human readable string representation of the pdf outline. You can then use that data structure to "hydrate" a real pdf outline data structure like it is done in [@lillallol/outline-pdf](https://github.com/lillallol/outline-pdf).

## Code coverage

The testing code coverage is around 90%.

## Example

<!--#region example !./src/example/example.test.ts-->

```ts
import { outlinePdfDataStructure } from "../";

describe(outlinePdfDataStructure.name, () => {
    it("returns low level information about the provided outline string representation", () => {
        expect(
            outlinePdfDataStructure(
                `
                    1||Document
                    2|-|Section 1
                   	3|-|Section 2
                    4|--|Subsection 1
                    5|-|Section 3

                `,
                6
            )
        ).toEqual({
            outlineRootCount: 6,
            outlineItems: [

## Motivation

This whole package was part of [@lillallol/outline-pdf](https://github.com/lillallol/outline-pdf), but then I decide to do separation of concerns, because it would make both projects more readable.

## Contributing

I am open to suggestions/pull request to improve this program.

You will find the following commands useful:

-   Clones the github repository of this project:

    ```bash
    git clone https://github.com/lillallol/outline-pdf-data-structure
    ```

-   Installs the node modules (nothing will work without them):

    ```bash
    npm install
    ```

-   Tests the code and generates code coverage:

    ```bash
    npm run test
    ```

    The generated code coverage is saved in `./coverage`.

-   Lints the source folder using typescript and eslint:

    ```bash
    npm run lint
    ```

-   Builds the typescript code from the `./src` folder to javascript code in `./dist`:

    ```bash
    npm run build-ts
    ```

-   Injects in place the generated toc and imported files to `README.md`:

    ```bash
    npm run build-md
    ```

-   Checks the project for spelling mistakes:

    ```bash
    npm run spell-check
    ```

    Take a look at the related configuration `./cspell.json`.

-   Checks `./src` for dead typescript files:

    ```bash
    npm run dead-files
    ```

    Take a look at the related configuration `./unimportedrc.json`.

## Changelog

-   Added documentation section in `README.md`. The documentation was generated via [ts-doc-gen-md](https://www.npmjs.com/package/ts-doc-gen-md) and added in the `README.md` via [md-in-place](https://www.npmjs.com/package/md-in-place).
-   Added changelog section in `README.md`.
-   Added contributing section in `README.md`.
-   Added example section in `README.md`.
-   Did some internal changes in the code (added `tagUnindent`, created files: `errorMessages.ts`,`constants.ts`,`publicApi.ts`).

### 1.0.2

**bug fixes**

-   Changed count to be number of descendants instead of immediate descendants.

### 1.0.1

Some minor link fixes in the `README.md`.

### 1.0.0

First release.
