Bcf-js is a BIM Collaboration Format (BCF) reader & parser.

This fork was made to read and write both BCF 2.1 and 3.0 versions.

Getting Started

To install the library use: npm install @parametricos/bcf-js or yarn add @parametricos/bcf-js

Using the library

For BCF-XML 3.0:

import { BcfReader, BcfWriter } from '@parametricos/bcf-js';

For BCF-XML 2.1:

import { BcfReader, BcfWriter } from '@parametricos/bcf-js/2.1';

Reading a file:

  const file = "some_bcf_file.bcf"

  const reader = new BcfReader();
  
  await reader.read(file);

  const project = reader.project
  
  project.markups.forEach((markup) => {
    console.log(markup.topic);
  })

  // See ./test/BasicReadExample.js for more examples

Writing a project:

  const bcfProject: IProject = {
    ...
  }
  
  const savePath = "./test-data/bcf3.0/Writer/WriteTest.bcf"

  const writer = new BcfWriter();
  
  const content = await writer.write(bcfproject)
  fs.writeFile(savePath, content, (err) => {})
