Usage

import { arch } from 'appcd-util';

console.log(arch()); // 'x86' or 'x64'

import { arrayify } from 'appcd-util';

console.log(arrayify('foo')); // [ 'foo' ]

console.log(arrayify([ 'a', '', null, 'b' ], true)); // [ 'a', 'b' ]

import { assertNodeEngineVersion } from 'appcd-util';

// throw an exception if current node version doesn't satisfy the `engines.node` version
assertNodeEngineVersion(require('package.json'));

import { cache } from 'appcd-util';

const now = () => Date.now();

const first = await cache('my namespace', now);
const second = await cache('my namespace', now);
assert(first === second);

const third = await cache('my namespace', true, now);
assert(first !== third && second !== third);

import { cacheSync } from 'appcd-util';

const now = () => Date.now();

const first = cacheSync('my namespace', now);
const second = cacheSync('my namespace', now);
assert(first === second);

const third = cacheSync('my namespace', true, now);
assert(first !== third && second !== third);

Debouncer that returns a promise and that can be cancelled.

import { debounce } from 'appcd-util';

const fn = debounce(() => {
	console.log(new Date());
});

// schedule the callback to be called in 200ms
fn().then(() => {
	console.log('Function called');
});

// cancel the debounce
fn.cancel();

import { formatNumber } from 'appcd-util';

console.log(formatNumber(12)); // 12
console.log(formatNumber(123)); // 123
console.log(formatNumber(1234)); // 1,234
console.log(formatNumber(12345)); // 12,345
console.log(formatNumber(123456)); // 123,456
console.log(formatNumber(1234567)); // 1,234,567

import { get } from 'appcd-util';

const obj = {
	foo: 'bar'
};

console.log(get(obj, 'foo')); // 'bar'
console.log(get(obj, 'baz', 'pow')); // 'pow'

Get all open sockets, [net] servers, timers, child processes, filesystem watchers, and other handles.

import { getActiveHandles } from 'appcd-util';

import { inherits } from 'appcd-util';

class A {}
class B extends A {}
class C {}

console.log(inherits(B, A)); // true
console.log(inherits(B, C)); // false

import { mergeDeep } from 'appcd-util';

const obj1 = {
	a: {
		b: 'c'
	}
};

const obj2 = {
	a: {
		d: 'e'
	}
};

console.log(mergeDeep(obj1, obj2)); // { a: { b: 'c', d: 'e' } }

import { mutex } from 'appcd-util';

const fn = () => {
	return mutex('my mutex', () => {
		console.log('foo!');
	});
};

await Promise.all([ fn(), fn(), fn() ]);

import { randomBytes } from 'appcd-util';

console.log(randomBytes(20));

import { sha1 } from 'appcd-util';

console.log(sha1('foo'));

import { sleep } from 'appcd-util';

await sleep(1000); // sleep for 1 second

Block multiple simultaneous callers until the first caller finishes, then all queued up 'tailgaters' are resolved with the result.

import { tailgate } from 'appcd-util';

const fn = () => {
	return tailgate('my tailgate', async () => {

	});
};

await Promise.all([ fn(), fn(), fn() ]);

import { unique } from 'appcd-util';

console.log(unique([ 'a', 'b', 'a', 'b' ])); // [ 'a', 'b' ]
