caniuse-lite
A smaller version of caniuse-db, with only the essentials!
Why?
The full data behind [Can I use][1] is incredibly useful for any front end developer, and on the website all of the details from the database are displayed to the user. However in automated tools, [many of these fields go unused][2]; it's not a problem for server side consumption but client side, the less JavaScript that we send to the end user the better.
caniuse-lite then, is a smaller dataset that keeps essential parts of the data in a compact format. It does this in multiple ways, such as converting null array entries into empty strings, representing support data as an integer rather than a string, and using base62 references instead of longer human-readable keys.
This packed data is then reassembled (via functions exposed by this module) into a larger format which is mostly compatible with caniuse-db, and so it can be used as an almost drop-in replacement for caniuse-db for contexts where size on disk is important; for example, usage in web browsers. The API differences are very small and are detailed in the section below.
API
js import * as lite from 'caniuse-lite';
lite.agents
caniuse-db provides a full data.json file which contains all of the features data. Instead of this large file, caniuse-lite provides this data subset instead, which has the browser, prefix, prefix_exceptions, usage_global and versions keys from the original.
In addition, the subset contains the release_date key with release dates (as timestamps) for each version:
json { "release_date": { "6": 998870400, "7": 1161129600, "8": 1237420800, "9": 1300060800, "10": 1346716800, "11": 1381968000, "5.5": 962323200 } }
lite.feature(js)
The feature method takes a file from data/features and converts it into something that more closely represents the caniuse-db format. Note that only the title, stats and status keys are kept from the original data.
lite.features
The features index is provided as a way to query all of the features that are listed in the caniuse-db dataset. Note that you will need to use the feature method on values from this index to get a human-readable format.
lite.region(js)
The region method takes a file from data/regions and converts it into something that more closely represents the caniuse-db format. Note that *only* the usage data is exposed here (the data key in the original files).
