yaepub 1.0.0

Yet Another epub parser

yaepub

Yet Another EPUB parser for Dart.

yaepub is a lightweight, pure Dart library to extract content, structure, and metadata from EPUB files. It provides an intuitive API to parse EPUB 2/3 metadata, the manifest, the reading order (spine), and the table of contents.

Features

• 📖 Extract essential book metadata (title, author, publisher, description, language, publication date, ISBN, UUID).
• 🖼️ Retrieve the book's cover image.
• 📚 Read the Table of Contents (Navigation) and Reading Order (Spine).
• 🗂️ Direct access to internal files and the manifest map.
• ⚡ Zero native dependencies; fully written in Dart.

Installation

Add yaepub to your pubspec.yaml:

dependencies:
  yaepub: ^1.0.0

Then run dart pub get or flutter pub get.

Usage

Here is a quick example of how to use yaepub to parse an EPUB file:

import 'dart:io';
import 'package:yaepub/yaepub.dart';

Future<void> main() async {
  // 1. Read the EPUB file as bytes
  final file = File('path/to/your/book.epub');
  final bytes = await file.readAsBytes();

  // 2. Parse the EPUB book
  final book = Book.from(bytes: bytes);

  // 3. Access metadata
  print(book); // Book(title: "Book Title", author: "Book Author", language: "en")
  print('Publisher: ${book.publisher}');
  print('Date: ${book.date}');
  
  // 4. Access Structural Data
  print('Spine Items: ${book.spine.length}');
  print('Chapters/Nav: ${book.navigation.length}');
  
  // 5. Check if it has a cover
  if (book.cover != null) {
    print('Cover ID: ${book.cover!.id}');
  }
}
