vfile is a small and browser friendly virtual file format that tracks
metadata (such as a file’s path
and contents
) and messages.
It was made specifically for unified and generally for the common task
of parsing, transforming, and serializing data, where vfile
handles everything
about the document being compiled.
This is useful for example when building linters, compilers, static site
generators, or other build tools.
vfile is part of the unified collective.

vfile is different from the excellent
vinyl
in that it has a smaller API, a smaller size, and focuses on messages.
npm:
npm install vfile
var vfile = require('vfile')
var file = vfile({path: '~/example.txt', contents: 'Alpha *braavo* charlie.'})
file.path // => '~/example.txt'
file.dirname // => '~'
file.extname = '.md'
file.basename // => 'example.md'
file.basename = 'index.text'
file.history // => ['~/example.txt', '~/example.md', '~/index.text']
file.message('`braavo` is misspelt; did you mean `bravo`?', {
line: 1,
column: 8
})
console.log(file.messages)
Yields:
[ { [~/index.text:1:8: `braavo` is misspelt; did you mean `bravo`?]
message: '`braavo` is misspelt; did you mean `bravo`?',
name: '~/index.text:1:8',
file: '~/index.text',
reason: '`braavo` is misspelt; did you mean `bravo`?',
line: 1,
column: 8,
location: { start: [Object], end: [Object] },
ruleId: null,
source: null,
fatal: false } ]
VFile(options?)
Create a new virtual file.
If options
is string
or Buffer
, treats it as {contents: options}
.
If options
is a VFile
, returns it.
All other options are set on the newly created vfile
.
Path related properties are set in the following order (least specific to most
specific): history
, path
, basename
, stem
, extname
, dirname
.
It’s not possible to set either dirname
or extname
without setting either
history
, path
, basename
, or stem
as well.
vfile()
vfile('console.log("alpha");')
vfile(Buffer.from('exit 1'))
vfile({path: path.join(__dirname, 'readme.md')})
vfile({stem: 'readme', extname: '.md', dirname: __dirname})
vfile({other: 'properties', are: 'copied', ov: {e: 'r'}})
vfile.contents
Buffer
, string
, null
— Raw value.
vfile.cwd
string
— Base of path
.
Defaults to process.cwd()
.
vfile.path
string?
— Path of vfile
.
Cannot be nullified.
vfile.basename
string?
— Current name (including extension) of vfile
.
Cannot contain path separators.
Cannot be nullified either (use file.path = file.dirname
instead).
vfile.stem
string?
— Name (without extension) of vfile
.
Cannot be nullified, and cannot contain path separators.
vfile.extname
string?
— Extension (with dot) of vfile
.
Cannot be set if there’s no path
yet and cannot contain path separators.
vfile.dirname
string?
— Path to parent directory of vfile
.
Cannot be set if there’s no path
yet.
vfile.history
Array.<string>
— List of file-paths the file moved between.
vfile.messages
Array.<VMessage>
— List of messages associated with the file.
vfile.data
Object
— Place to store custom information.
It’s OK to store custom data directly on the vfile
, moving it to data
gives
a little more privacy.
VFile#toString(encoding?)
Convert contents of vfile
to string.
When contents
is a Buffer
, encoding
is a
character encoding to understand doc
as (string
, default:
'utf8'
).
VFile#message(reason[, position][, origin])
Associates a message with the file, where fatal
is set to false
.
Constructs a new VMessage
and adds it to
vfile.messages
.
VFile#info(reason[, position][, origin])
Associates an informational message with the file, where fatal
is set to
null
.
Calls #message()
internally.
VFile#fail(reason[, position][, origin])
Associates a fatal message with the file, then immediately throws it.
Note: fatal errors mean a file is no longer processable.
Calls #message()
internally.
The following list of projects includes tools for working with virtual files. See unist for projects that work with nodes.
convert-vinyl-to-vfile
— transform from Vinyl to vfileto-vfile
— create a vfile from a filepathvfile-find-down
— find files by searching the file system downwardsvfile-find-up
— find files by searching the file system upwardsvfile-glob
— find files by glob patternsvfile-is
— check if a vfile passes a testvfile-location
— convert between positional and offset locationsvfile-matter
— parse the YAML front mattervfile-message
— create a vfile messagevfile-messages-to-vscode-diagnostics
— transform vfile messages to VS Code diagnosticsvfile-mkdirp
— make sure the directory of a vfile exists on the file systemvfile-rename
— rename the path parts of a vfilevfile-sort
— sort messages by line/columnvfile-statistics
— count messages per category: failures, warnings, etcvfile-to-eslint
— convert to ESLint formatter compatible outputThe following list of projects show linting results for given virtual files.
Reporters must accept Array.<VFile>
as their first argument, and return
string
.
Reporters may accept other values too, in which case it’s suggested to stick
to vfile-reporter
s interface.
vfile-reporter
— create a reportvfile-reporter-json
— create a JSON reportvfile-reporter-folder-json
— create a JSON representation of vfilesvfile-reporter-pretty
— create a pretty reportvfile-reporter-junit
— create a jUnit reportvfile-reporter-position
— create a report with content excerptsSee contributing.md
