locator

This library provides the ability to parse and format "Locator" strings. FOSSA uses locators to indicate specific libraries at specific versions.

For more detail, FOSSA employees can reference the Fetchers & Locators doc.

Format

Locators are in the following basic format:

{fetcher}+{package}${version}

There is some nuance to this. For more details, see the library documentation.

Example

Some example locators:

// The FOSSA CLI on GitHub, referencing the tag 'v3.8.24'.
git+github.com/fossas/fossa-cli$v3.8.24

// The 'lodash' library on NPM, referencing the version '4.17.21'.
npm+lodash$4.17.21

// The 'lodash' library on NPM without specifying a version.
npm+lodash
