Common array manipulation functions
toArray(item: any): ArrayConverts or wraps anything in an array. Set objects will be converted to arrays. A String will be treated as a CSV and parsed into an array. If an array cannont be coerced from the input value, it will be wrapped in an a single element array
Arguments:
item - The element to convert to an array.returns result Array: The resulting array for input coercion
const {array} = require('@logdna/stdlib')
array.toArray() // []
array.toArray(null) // []
array.toArray(1) // [1]
array.toArray('1,2, 4, 3') // [1, 2, 4, 3]
Iteration tools for complex and efficient iteration. Inspired by python's itertools
cycle(items: Array): GeneratorIterates endlessly over a single array of items. The elements of the array can be of any type.
Arguments:
items (Array) - An array to iterate overreturns Generator A generator object containing the passed in elements
const {iter} = require('@logdna/stdlib')
const numbers = iter.cycle([1, 2, 3])
numbers.next().value // 1
numbers.next().value // 2
numbers.next().value // 3
numbers.next().value // 1
numbers.next().value // 2
numbers.next().value // 3
Common json functions
parse(input: String): ObjectSafe json parsing function that attempts to json parse a string. If it cannont, undefined will be returned
Arguments
input (String) - a json string to parsereturns Object A fully parsed javascript object
const {json} = require('@logdna/stdlib')
json.parse('{"valid": "json"}') // {valid: 'json'}
json.parse('{"invalid" json') // undefined
Common object manipulation and intropsection functions
has(obj: Object, property: String [, separator: String = '.']): BooleanDetermines if a specified key is a direct property of an object. This function is safe
to call on objects that do not inherit from Object.prototype, unlike attempting to call .hasOwnProperty
on input objects
Arguments
obj (Object) - The object to introspectkey (String) - The name of the property to locateseparator (String) - Delimiter character
'.'returns Boolean - True of the key is defined on the input object.
const {object} = require('@logdna/stdlib')
object.has({a: 1}, 'a') // true
object.has({}, 'test') // false
object.has(Object.create(null), 'test') // false
object.has({}, 'hasOwnProperty') // false
object.has({one: {two: {three: 3}}}, 'one-two-three', '-') // true
get(obj: Object, property: String [, separator: String = '.']): anyReturns the value from an object at a specified object path.
Arguments
obj (Object) - The object to introspectkey (String) - The name of the property to localseparator (String) - Delimiter character
'.'returns any - The value at the specified key. If no value is found, undefined will be returned.
const {object} = require('@logdna/stdlib')
const obj = {one: {two: {three: 3}}}
const value = object.get(obj, 'one-two-three', '-') // 3
set(obj: Object, property: String, value: any [, separator: String = '.' ]): ObjectSets a property at the deepest level. Nested objects will be created if they do not exist. Returns the modified object. This will not work on complex Types like arrays or maps; Only POJOs.
NOTE: if you find your self wanting to set the value at a specific index of an array - you probably want an object.
Arguments
obj (Object) - The object to introspectkey (String) - The name of the property to localvalue (any) - The value to set at the specified pathseparator (String) - Delimiter character
'.'const {object} = require('@logdna/stdlib')
const obj = {one: {two: {three: 3}}}
const value = object.set(obj, 'four.five', 6)
// {one: { two: three: 3 }, four: {five: 6}}
filter(obj: Object, test: Function): ObjectSimilar to array.filter, removes keys from an input object that do not pass the
test function
Arguments
obj (Object) - The object to introspecttest (Function) - The function to be used to reject keys from the input object.
If this function returns a truthy value, the key will be included in the final output. If falsey
it will be excludedconst {object} = require('@logdna/stdlib')
const obj = {one: { two: three: 3 } }
object.filter({two: 2, three: 3}, (key) => {
return key.match(/ee$/)
}) // {three: 3}
returns Object An object containing only the keys which passed the test function.
typecast(obj: Object [, depth: Number = 1000]): ObjectRecursively typecast string values of enumerable object properties,
using string.typecast()
Arguments
returns Object A new object with all string properties typecast.
const {object} = require('@logdna/stdlib')
const obj = {foo: '1', bar: 'null', baz: 'three', qux: {foo: '2'}}
const casted = typecast(obj)
// {foo: 1, bar: null, baz: 'three', qux: {foo: 2}}
const with_depth = typecast(obj, 0)
// {foo: 1, bar: null, baz: 'three', qux: {foo: '2'}}
camelcase(text: String): StringCasts a string value to its camel case variant
Arguments
str String - The string value to convertreturns String A camelcase version of the input string
const {string} = require('@logdna/stdlib')
string.camelcase('Hello George Washington') // helloGeorgeWashington
lowercase(text: String): StringA safe alternative to String.prototype.toLowerCase(). This can be called non string inputs and they will be converted to string prior to lower casing.
Arguments
str String - The string value to convertreturns String A lowercased version of the input string
const {string} = require('@logdna/stdlib')
string.lowercase('Hello George Washington') // hello george washington
string.lowercase({}) // [object object]
string.lowercase(null) // ''
string.lowercase(undefined) // ''
uppercase(text: String): StringA safe alternative to String.prototype.toUpperCase(). This can be called non string inputs and they will be converted to string prior to upper casing.
Arguments
str String - The string value to convertreturns String A uppercased version of the input string
const {string} = require('@logdna/stdlib')
string.uppercase('Hello George Washington') // HELLO GEORGE WASHINGTON
string.uppercase({}) // [OBJECT OBJECT]
string.uppercase(null) // ''
string.uppercase(undefined) // ''
slugify(text: String [, separator: String = '-']): StringConverts a string to a url friendly format by replacing spaces and symbols with a known value and converting to lower case
Arguments
str String - The string value to convertseparator (String) - Delimiter character
'-'returns String A slugified version of the input string
const {string} = require('@logdna/stdlib')
string.slugify('A fake Sentence') // a-fake-sentence
string.slugify('A fake Sentence', '::') // a::fake::sentence
typecast(text: String): ObjectBest effort to cast a string to its native couter part where possible. Supported casts are booleans, numbers, null and undefined.
Arguments
value - The value to castreturns The native representation of the string input. If the value could not be cast, it will be returned as it was passed.
const {string} = require('@logdna/stdlib')
string.typecast('null') // null
string.typecast('true') // true
string.typecast('10.01') // 10.01
string.typecast({}) // {}
typeOf(element: any): StringA more accurate version of the javascript built-in function typeof
Arguments
input - The input object to introspectreturns String A normalized string representation of the input object
const {typeOf} = require('@logdna/stdlib')
typeOf(new Date()) // 'date'
typeOf(/\w+/) // regexp
typeOf(() => {}) // function
typeOf(new Set()) // set
Callable: ClassA class object whose instances are derived from Function and can be called.
When exteded, a Symbol function defined by Symbol.for('call') will be executed
with any arguments that were passed
const {Callable} = require('@logdna/stdlib')
const __call__ = Symbol.for('call')
class Hello extends Callable {
constructor(opts) {
this.yell = !!opts.yell
}
[__call__](name) {
const output = `Hello, ${name}`
console.log(this.yell ? `${output.toUpperCase()}!` : output)
}
}
const screamAt = new Hello({yell: true})
screamAt('bill') // HELLO, BILL!
