extension-props

A utility library delivering some additional utility functions.

Installation

npm install extension-props
# or
yarn add extension-props

Usage

You can use this utilities by two way:

• Use utility functions through the provided objects likes ObjectType, ArrayType, ClassType, FunctionType, RegexType, StringType. (Recommend)

  const {
      ObjectType,
      ArrayType,
      ClassType,
      FunctionType,
      RegexType,
      StringType
  } = require('extension-props');
  

• Load additional utility functions into global objects likes String, Function, Object, Array, RegExp.

  require('extension-props').extend();
