viz-utils

A collection of utility functions for use across VizHub packages. This library provides common functionality for working with VizHub visualizations, including ID generation and file manipulation.

Installation

npm install @vizhub/viz-utils

Dependencies

This package depends on @vizhub/viz-types, which defines the TypeScript types used throughout the VizHub ecosystem.

API

ID Generation

generateVizId(): string

Generates a unique VizId (a UUID v4 string without dashes) for a visualization. The generated ID is a 32-character hexadecimal string with the 13th character always being "4" (following UUID v4 format).

import { generateVizId } from "@vizhub/viz-utils";

const newVizId = generateVizId(); // e.g. "550e8400e29b41d4a716446655440000"

generateVizFileId(): string

Generates a unique VizFileId (an 8-character hexadecimal string) for a file within a visualization.

import { generateVizFileId } from "@vizhub/viz-utils";

const newFileId = generateVizFileId(); // e.g. "550e8400"

Validation

isVizId(str: string): boolean

Checks if a string is a valid VizId. A valid VizId must:

  • Be exactly 32 characters long
  • Contain only hexadecimal characters (0-9, a-f)
  • Have "4" as the 13th character (following UUID v4 format)
import { isVizId } from "@vizhub/viz-utils";

isVizId("12345678901234567890123456789012"); // true if valid
isVizId("invalid-id"); // false

File Operations

getFileText(content: VizContent, fileName: string): string | null

Gets the text content of a file with the given name from a VizContent object. Returns null if:

  • The file is not found
  • The content is undefined
  • The content has no files property

If multiple files with the same name exist, returns the content of the first matching file.

import { getFileText } from "@vizhub/viz-utils";

const htmlContent = getFileText(vizContent, "index.html");
if (htmlContent) {
  // Use the file content
}

vizFilesToFileCollection(files?: VizFiles): Record<string, string>

Converts VizFiles (keyed by file ID) to a simpler file collection format (keyed by filename). Returns an empty object if:

  • No files are provided
  • The files object is empty
import { vizFilesToFileCollection } from "@vizhub/viz-utils";

const vizFiles = {
  "550e8400": { name: "index.html", text: "<html>Test</html>" },
  e29b41d4: { name: "script.js", text: 'console.log("Hello");' },
};

const fileCollection = vizFilesToFileCollection(vizFiles);
// Result: { "index.html": "<html>Test</html>", "script.js": 'console.log("Hello");' }

fileCollectionToVizFiles(files: FileCollection): VizFiles

Converts a simple file collection (keyed by filename) to VizFiles format (keyed by generated file ID). Returns an empty object if:

  • No files are provided
  • The files object is empty
import { fileCollectionToVizFiles } from "@vizhub/viz-utils";

const fileCollection = {
  "index.html": "<html>Test</html>",
  "script.js": 'console.log("Hello");',
};

const vizFiles = fileCollectionToVizFiles(fileCollection);
// Result: {
//   "550e8400": { name: "index.html", text: "<html>Test</html>" },
//   "e29b41d4": { name: "script.js", text: 'console.log("Hello");' }
// }

Types

This package uses the following types from @vizhub/viz-types:

  • VizId: A 32-character hexadecimal string that uniquely identifies a visualization
  • VizFileId: An 8-character hexadecimal string that uniquely identifies a file within a visualization
  • VizContent: The content of a visualization, including its files
  • VizFile: A file with a name and text content
  • VizFiles: A collection of files, indexed by their VizFileId
