Usage

The ObjectBuilder is a convenience class to create an object with dynamic properties. Consider the following example, where we wrap our code inside conditionals before adding the property b to the startingObject.

const startingObject = {
  a: 1
  // Add "b", if it exists
  ...(b ? { b } : {})
}

// OR
if (b) {
  startingObject.b = b
}

Instead of writing conditionals, you can consider using the Object builder fluent API.

import { ObjectBuilder } from '@poppinss/object-builder'
const builder = new ObjectBuilder({ a: 1 })

const plainObject = builder.add('b', b).toObject()

By default, only the undefined values are ignored. However, you can also ignore null values.

import { ObjectBuilder } from '@poppinss/object-builder'

const ignoreNullValues = true
const builder = new ObjectBuilder({ a: 1 }, ignoreNullValues)

Following are the available methods on the ObjectBuilder class.

builder.remove(key)
builder.has(key)
builder.get(key)
builder.add(key)

builder.toObject() // get plain object
