Package Exports

node-gerber-parser

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (node-gerber-parser) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

gerber parser

Streaming Gerber/drill file parser

A printed circuit board Gerber and drill file parser. Implemented as a Node transform stream that takes a Gerber text stream and emits objects to be consumed by some sort of PCB plotter.

Part of the tracespace collection of PCB visualization tools.

install

npm install --save gerber-parser
# or
yarn add gerber-parser

Or, use a script tag:

<script src="https://unpkg.com/gerber-parser@^4.0.0/dist/gerber-parser.min.js"></script>
<script>
  // global variable gerberParser now available
  var parser = gerberParser()
</script>

example

var fs = require('fs')
var gerberParser = require('node-gerber-parser')

var parser = gerberParser()

parser.on('warning', function(w) {
  console.warn('warning at line ' + w.line + ': ' + w.message)
})

fs.createReadStream('/path/to/gerber/file.gbr')
  .pipe(parser)
  .on('data', function(obj) {
    console.log(JSON.stringify(obj))
  })

To run this module in a browser, it should be bundled with a tool like browserify or webpack. If you are using the script tag installation method instead, there will be a global variable gerberParser available after you have included gerber-parser.min.js.
