# Dxf-Parser

**Dxf Parser** is a javascript parser for dxf files. It reads dxf files into one large javascript object with readable properties and a more logical structure.

Also, keep an eye on [three-dxf](https://github.com/gdsestimating/three-dxf), a browser module for rendering the output of Dxf-Parser in the browser.

#### Install

```sh
npm install dxf-parser
```

Browsers -- As of 0.1.3 standalone browserify version is in the commonjs/ folder. Copy it out of the install directory or just download it from the GitHub repo directly. We may evetually publish this to bower, but the build environment needs a little work first.

#### Usage

``` js
import DxfParser from 'dxf-parser';

// Grab fileText in node.js or browser
const fileText = ...;

const parser = new DxfParser();
try {
    const dxf = parser.parse(fileText);
} catch(err) {
    return console.error(err.stack);
}
```

See the [wiki Example Output page](https://github.com/gdsestimating/dxf-parser/wiki/Example-Output) to get an idea of what the results look like.

#### Run Samples

npm install
npm run build
node samples/node/parseSync
