Usage

var curlconverter = require('curlconverter');

curlconverter.toPython("curl 'http://en.wikipedia.org/' -H 'Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate, sdch' -H 'Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.8' -H 'User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_10_1) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/39.0.2171.95 Safari/537.36' -H 'Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,image/webp,*/*;q=0.8' -H 'Referer: http://www.wikipedia.org/' -H 'Cookie: GeoIP=US:Albuquerque:35.1241:-106.7675:v4; uls-previous-languages=%5B%22en%22%5D; mediaWiki.user.sessionId=VaHaeVW3m0ymvx9kacwshZIDkv8zgF9y; centralnotice_buckets_by_campaign=%7B%22C14_enUS_dsk_lw_FR%22%3A%7B%22val%22%3A%220%22%2C%22start%22%3A1412172000%2C%22end%22%3A1422576000%7D%2C%22C14_en5C_dec_dsk_FR%22%3A%7B%22val%22%3A3%2C%22start%22%3A1417514400%2C%22end%22%3A1425290400%7D%2C%22C14_en5C_bkup_dsk_FR%22%3A%7B%22val%22%3A1%2C%22start%22%3A1417428000%2C%22end%22%3A1425290400%7D%7D; centralnotice_bannercount_fr12=22; centralnotice_bannercount_fr12-wait=14' -H 'Connection: keep-alive' --compressed");

Returns a string of Python code like:

I'd rather write programs to write programs than write programs.

Make sure you're running node 6 or greater. The test suite will fail on older versions of node.

If you add a new generator, make sure to update the list of supported languages in cli.js or else it won't be accessible from the command line

If you want to add new functionality, start with a test.

• Create a file containing the curl command in fixtures/curl_commands with a descriptive filename like post_with_headers.txt
• Create a file containing the output in fixtures/python_output/ with a matching filename (but different extension) like post_with_headers.py
• Run tests with npm test.
• If your filenames match correctly, you should see one failing test. Fix it by modifying the parser in util.js or the generators in generators/

The parser generates a generic data structure consumed by code generator functions.

You can run a specific test with this command:

node test.js --test=test_name

where "test_name" is a file (without extension) in fixtures/curl_commands

I recommend setting this up with a debugger so you can see exactly what the parser is passing to the generator. Here's my Intellij run configuration for a single test:

If you get stuck, please reach out via email. I am always willing to hop on a google hangout and pair program.
