🛠 A Guy of Many Trades 🛠

Structure

  • Only Peer-Dependencies (except cnd, intertype)
  • Sub-libraries accessible as GUY.${library_name}
  • Most sub-libraries implemented using GUY.props.def_oneoff(), therefore dependencies (which are declared peer dependencies) will only be require()d when needed.

Modules

GUY.props: Common Operations on Object Properties

  • GUY.props.def: ( target, name, cfg ) -> is just another name for Object.defineProperty().

  • GUY.props.hide: ( object, name, value ) -> is a shortcut to define a non-enumerable property as in Object.defineProperty object, name, { enumerable: false, value, }.

  • GUY.props.xray: ( owner, host ) ->—A little bit the inverse to GUY.props.hide(), it will return an object with all key/value pairs set that were found on owner after applying GUY.props.keys owner, { hidden: true, symbols: true, builtins: false, }. When host is set, that value will be used to store the key/value pairs in, possibly overwriting existing keys. This method is useful for printing and debugging objects with non-enumerable and/or symbol keys.

  • GUY.props.def_oneoff: ()

  • GUY.props.pick_with_fallback = ( d, fallback, keys... ) ->—Given an object d, a fallback value and some keys, return an object that whose keys are the ones passed in, and whose values are either the same as found in d, or fallback in case a key is missing in d or set to undefined. If d[ key ] is null, it will be replaced by fallback. When no keys are given, an empty object will be returned.

  • GUY.props.nullify_undefined = ( d ) ->—Given an object d, return a copy of it where all undefined values are replaced with null. In case d is null or undefined, an empty object will be returned.

  • GUY.props.omit_nullish = ( d ) ->—Given an object d, return a copy of it where all undefined and null values are not set. In case d is null or undefined, an empty object will be returned.

  • GUY.props.crossmerge = ( cfg ) ->—Given an object keys and an object values, return a new object whose keys come from the former and whose values come fom the latter. Should there be a key in keys that is not set in values, an error will be thrown unless fallback has been set (to any value, inlcuding undefined). This method calls GUY.props.keys() and will accept the cfg settings used there (allow_any, symbols, builtins, hidden, depth).

  • GUY.props.has = ( x, key ) ->—Given any value x, return whether the value has a given property (key). This is a safe version of Reflect.has() that never throws an error. Like direct property access (using x.key or x[ 'key' ]) but unlike Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptor() &c, GUY.props.has() looks into the prototype chain; like Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptor(), it does not trigger property getters.

  • GUY.props.get = ( x, key, fallback ) ->—Given any value x, return the value of property named in key. If that property is missing, throw an error, but when fallback has been given, return fallback instead. Using GUY.props.get x, 'foo' is like saying x.foo or x[ 'foo' ] except that it doesn't tolerate missing property keys; using it with a fallback as in GUY.props.get x, 'foo', undefined is like saying x.foo or x[ 'foo' ] except that it also works for null and undefined.

Using GUY.props.has() and GUY.props.get() it is always possible to circumvent errors being thrown and instead do value-based error handling (and raise one own's errors where seen fit). One pattern to do so is to define a private Symbol instead of relying on undefined that could have been caused by all kinds of circumstances. Here's a real-life example; it was created in a context where instances of the Strict_owner class (for which see below) are prevalent (i.e. those objects will throw an error instead of returning undefined as is the standard in JS). This function will return the length of a value x where that attribute is present (as in strings and arrays), or else its size where that is present (as in sets and maps), else it will return fallback where given, or resort to throwing an error:

notavalue = Symbol 'notavalue'
size_of = ( x, fallback = misfit ) ->
  return R unless ( R = GUY.props.get x, 'length',  notavalue ) is notavalue
  return R unless ( R = GUY.props.get x, 'size',    notavalue ) is notavalue
  return fallback unless fallback is misfit
  throw new Error "expected an object with `x.length` or `x.size`, got a #{typeof x} with neither"
  • GUY.props.resolve_property_chain = ( owner, property_chain ) ->—Given an owner value (typically an object) and a property_chain as a list of names, repeatedly apply the names, first against the owner, then the next name against that result and so on. This allows one to programmatically resolve chained property access and to parametrize a literal owner.first.second.other.last as GUY.props.resolve_property_chain owner, [ 'first', 'second', 'other', 'last', ].

  • GUY.props._shallow_copy = ( d ) ->—Given object d, return a shallow copy of it using the technique demonstrated in the MDN documentation for Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptors(): ( d ) -> Object.create ( Object.getPrototypeOf d ), ( Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptors d ). This method is not yet official part of the API because it may get an extension to work transparently with primitive values.

GUY.props.keys()
  • GUY.props.keys: () =>—Like Object.keys( t ), Reflect.ownKeys( t ) (which is equivalent to Object.getOwnPropertyNames( target ).concat(Object.getOwnPropertySymbols( target ))) but more versatile
  • GUY.props.keys() can retrieve or skip non-enumerable (a.k.a. 'hidden') keys
  • GUY.props.keys() can retrieve only own keys (with { depth: 0 }) or descend into the prototype chain for any number of steps: { depth: null, } (the default, equivalent to { depth: Infinity, }) will descend into the prototype chain or e.g. { depth: 1, }
  • GUY.props.keys() can retrieve string keys as well as symbol keys with { symbols: true, }
  • GUY.props.keys() works for all JS values, including null and undefined when { allow_any: true, } is set (the default)
  • GUY.props.keys() can retrieve hidden (i.e. non-enumerable) keys with { hidden: true, }
  • GUY.props.keys() can retrieve builtins with { builtins: true, }; observe that since builtins are always hidden, { builtins: true, hidden: false, } makes no sense and causes a validation error.
lst = [ 'x', ]
( Object.keys lst    )
# [ '0', ]

( ( k for k of lst ) )
# [ '0', ]

( GUY.props.keys lst )
# [ '0', ]

( GUY.props.keys lst, { symbols: true, builtins: true, } )

# [ '0', 'length', 'constructor', 'concat', 'copyWithin', 'fill', 'find', 'findIndex', 'lastIndexOf',
# 'pop', 'push', 'reverse', 'shift', 'unshift', 'slice', 'sort', 'splice', 'includes', 'indexOf', 'join',
# 'keys', 'entries', 'values', 'forEach', 'filter', 'flat', 'flatMap', 'map', 'every', 'some', 'reduce',
# 'reduceRight', 'toLocaleString', 'toString', 'at', 'findLast', 'findLastIndex', Symbol.iterator,
# Symbol.unscopables, '__defineGetter__', '__defineSetter__', 'hasOwnProperty', '__lookupGetter__',
# '__lookupSetter__', 'isPrototypeOf', 'propertyIsEnumerable', 'valueOf', '__proto__' ]

( GUY.props.keys Array, { symbols: true, builtins: true, } )

# [ 'length', 'name', 'prototype', 'isArray', 'from', 'of', Symbol.species, 'arguments', 'caller',
# 'constructor', 'apply', 'bind', 'call', 'toString', Symbol.hasInstance, '__defineGetter__',
# '__defineSetter__', 'hasOwnProperty', '__lookupGetter__', '__lookupSetter__', 'isPrototypeOf',
# 'propertyIsEnumerable', 'valueOf', '__proto__', 'toLocaleString' ]
GUY.props.tree()

GUY.props.tree() is the logical dual to GUY.props.keys(): instead of descending into the prototype chain, tree() climbs through the key/value pairs attached to an object and, recursively, through the trees of each value's key/value pairs. In default mode, the method returns a list of lists of names ('paths'):

log           = console.log
{ inspect, }  = require 'util'
d = { a: [ 0, 1, 2, ], e: { g: { some: 'thing', }, h: 42, h: null, }, empty: {}, }
for path in GUY.props.tree d
  log inspect path

This will print:

[ 'a' ]
[ 'a', '0' ]
[ 'a', '1' ]
[ 'a', '2' ]
[ 'e' ]
[ 'e', 'g' ]
[ 'e', 'g', 'some' ]
[ 'e', 'h' ]
[ 'empty' ]

The default configuration for the tree() method is { allow_any: true, symbols: false, builtins: false, hidden: false, depth: null, evaluate: null, sep: null, }, with the last two settings being specific to tree(), and the first five having the same meaning as for GUY.props.keys(), q.v.

To turn the result into a list of strings, pass in a property sep:

...
for path in GUY.props.tree d, { sep: '.', }
...

'a'
'a.0'
'a.1'
'a.2'
'e'
'e.g'
'e.g.some'
'e.h'
'empty'

The evaluate setting can be set to a function which will be called with an object { owner, key, value, } where owner is the current object being iterated over, and key/value the current property name and value. The evaluate function should return true, false, or a string that may contain the words take and/or descend; the default (when no evaluate function is given) is take,descend, meaning all keys will be both included in the list as well as descended into. true is equivalent to take,descend; false means skip this property altogether. In the below example, we use the evaluate setting to avoid descending into arrays and to include only the tips (leaves, endpoints) of the tree:

evaluate = ({ owner, key, value, }) ->
  return 'take' if Array.isArray value
  return 'take' unless GUY.props.has_keys value
  return 'descend'
...
for path in GUY.props.tree d, { evaluate, sep: '.', }
...

'a'
'e.g.some'
'e.h'
'empty'
Class for Strict Ownership

JavaScript is famously forgiving when it comes to accessing non-existing object properties. However this lenience is also conducive to silent failure. Strict_owner is an ES6 class that aims to provide users with a convenient mechanism to produce object that throw an error when a non-existing property is being accessed.

When you extend your class with GUY.props.Strict_owner, instance of your class will now throw an error when a non-existing property is accessed.

Note Most often one will want to define a class that extends Strict_owner, however, it is also possible to pass in an arbitrary object—including a function—as property target to the constructor, e.g.

f = ( x ) -> x * 2
x = new GUY.props.Strict_owner { target: f, }

Note As of Guy v6, special methods get() and set() have been removed from Strict_owner. They have been replaced with a much cleaner and more correct implementation as GUY.props.get() and GUY.props.has(). These methods are more versatile, too, since they can be used with any JS value (including the always-problematic null and undefined).

Note GUY.props.Strict_owner is implemented using an ES6 Proxy. While proxies are powerfool tools they're also notoriously hard to get right because of the many methods one could/should/must implement and which all have to act in mutually consistent ways. As a result, my personal recommendation here is to try hard not use a proxy and use another methodology to achieve a workable solution where possible. One thing that will probably not work is proxying a proxy: When you have a Strict_owner object (which already is a proxy) and wrap it in another proxy, chances are you'll get errors like instance does not have property '0' when attempting to use node:util.inspect() on that instance. I have been so far unable to fix that bug and since been looking for a solution that works without the need for a double proxy in that other codebase.

In order to get an object which is sealed and or frozen, use properties seal and freeze, respectively:

d   = { x: 42, }
dso = new GUY.props.Strict_owner { target: d, seal: true, freeze: true, }

# this works:
dso.x                 # 42

# but none of these work:

# Strict owner ship means unknown properties cannot be accessed:
dso.y                 # Strict_owner instance does not have property 'y'

# Properties of a frozen object cannot be re-assigned:
dso.x = 48            # TypeError: Cannot assign to read only property 'x'

# Properties cannot be added to a sealed object (also implied by being frozen):
dso.y = 'something'   # TypeError: Cannot define property y, object is not extensible

In addition, when property oneshot is set (and neither seal nor freeze), properties can be set once, but not get re-assigned. In case non-re-assignable values should also be immutable, consider to set frozen objects:

d         = { x: 42, }
dso       = new GUY.props.Strict_owner { target: d, oneshot: true, }
dso.xy    = new GUY.props.Strict_owner { target: { foo: 'bar', }, freeze: true, }
# dso.x     = 123     # Strict_owner instance already has property 'x'
# dso.xy    = {}      # Strict_owner instance already has property 'xy'
# dso.xy.foo  = 'gnu' # TypeError: Cannot assign to read only property 'foo'

Observe that because all of the sealing, freezing and one-shot business is performed on the proxy, not on the target object, we can still manipulate that one:

debug '^35345^', dso  # { x: 42, xy: { foo: 'bar' } }
debug '^35345^', d    # { x: 42, xy: { foo: 'bar' } }

# we *can* still manipulate the underlying object:
d.x = 123
debug '^35345^', dso  # { x: 123, xy: { foo: 'bar' } }
debug '^35345^', d    # { x: 123, xy: { foo: 'bar' } }

It is possible to lift the strict behavior of Strict_owner instances by using Strict_owner.set_locked false and resume strict behavior with Strict_owner.set_locked true.

Special Keys
  • return "#{instance.constructor.name}" if key is Symbol.toStringTag
  • return target.constructor if key is 'constructor'
  • return target.toString if key is 'toString'
  • return target.call if key is 'call'
  • return target.apply if key is 'apply'
  • return target[ Symbol.iterator ] if key is Symbol.iterator
  • return target[ node_inspect ] if key is node_inspect
  • return target[ 0 ] if key is '0'

GUY.async: Asynchronous Helpers

These 'five letter' methods are convenience methods in the sense that they are very thin shims over the somewhat less convenient JavaScript methods. For many people, the most strightforward way to understand what these methods do will be to read the very simple definitions:

  • every: ( dts, f ) -> setInterval f, dts * 1000
  • after: ( dts, f ) -> setTimeout f, dts * 1000
  • cease: ( toutid ) -> clearTimeout toutid
  • sleep: ( dts ) -> new Promise ( done ) => setTimeout done, dts * 1000
  • defer: ( f = -> ) -> await sleep 0; return await f()

In each case, dts denotes an interval (delta time) measured in seconds (not milliseconds) and f denotes a function. every() and after() return so-called timeout IDs (toutids), i.e. values that are recognized by cease() (clearTimeout(), clearInterval()) to stop a one-off or repetetive timed function call. sleep() returns a promise that should be awaited as in await sleep 3, which will allow another task on the event loop to return and resume execution no sooner than after 3000 milliseconds have elapsed. Finally, there is defer(), which should also be awaited. It is a special use-case of sleep() where the timeout is set to zero, so the remaining effect is that other tasks on the event loop get a chance to run. It accepts an optional function argument whose (synchronous or asynchronous) result will be returned.

GUY.nowait: De-Asyncify JS Async Functions

Note Due to ongoing issues when compiling the deasync module that this functionality is implemented in, guy-nowaithas been removed from this release.

**Peer Dependencies**: [`abbr/deasync`](https://github.com/abbr/deasync)
  • GUY.nowait.for_callbackable: ( fn_with_callback ) ->—given an asynchronous function afc that accepts a NodeJS-style callback (as in afc v1, v2, ..., ( error, result ) -> ...), returns a synchronous function sf that can be used without a callback (as in result = sf v1, v2, ...).

  • GUY.nowait.for_awaitable: ( fn_with_promise ) ->—given an asynchronous function afp that can be used with await (as in result = await afp v1, v2, ...) returns a synchronous function f that can be used without await (as in result = sf v1, v2, ...).

Peer Dependencies: sindresorhus/exit-hook

  • GUY.process.on_exit: ( fn ) => ...—call fn() before process exits. Convenience link for sindresorhus/exit-hook, which see for details. Note When installing this peer dependency, make sure to do so with the last CommonJS version added, as in npm install exit-hook@2.2.1.

GUY.lft: Freezing Objects

GUY.left.freeze() and GUY.lft.lets() provide access to the epynomous methods in letsfreezethat. freeze() is basically Object.freeze() for nested objects, while d = lets d, ( d ) -> mutate d provides a handy way to mutate and re-assign a copy of a frozen object. See the documentation for details.

  • GUY.fs.walk_lines = ( path, cfg ) ->—Given a path, return a synchronous iterator over file lines. This is the most hassle-free approach to synchronously obtain lines of text files in NodeJS that I'm aware of, yet. The optional cfg argument may be an object with a single property decode; when set to false, walk_lines() will iterate over buffers instead of strings.

  • GUY.fs.walk_circular_lines = ( path, cfg ) ->—Given a path, return an iterator over the lines in the referenced file; optionally, when the iterator is exhausted (all lines have been read), restart from the beginning. cfg may be an object with the keys:

    • loop_count—(cardinal; default: 1) controls how many times to loop over the file. Set to +Infinity to allow for an unlimited number of laps.
    • line_count—(cardinal; default: +Infinity) controls the maximum number of lines that will be yielded.
    • The iteration will finish as soon as the one or the other limit has been reached.
    • By default, GUY.fs.walk_circular_lines() will act like GUY.fs.walk_lines.
    • The iterator will not yield anything when either loop_count or line_count are set to 0.
  • GUY.fs.get_content_hash = ( path, cfg ) ->—Given a path, return the hexadecimal sha1 hash digest for its contents. On Linux, this uses sha1sum, and shasum on all other systems.

GUY.src: JS Source Code Analysis

This submodule needs peer-dependencies, install them with

npm install acorn acorn-loose acorn-walk astring

or

pnpm add acorn acorn-loose acorn-walk astring

  • @STRICT_PARSER = require 'acorn'

  • @LOOSE_PARSER = require 'acorn-loose'

  • @AST_walk = require 'acorn-walk'

  • @ASTRING = require 'astring'

  • @parse = ( cfg ) =>—Given either a JS source text or a function, return an ESTree-compliant AST. Should an error occur and fallback is set to any value, that value will be returned; otherwise, the error will be thrown. The use parameter controls which parser is used and can take on the values 'strict', 'strict,loose', and 'loose'. For many settings 'strict,loose' will probably the right setting since the strict parser will balk already on unnamed function declarations that are not part of assignment, while the 'loose' parser happily (and correctly parses those). For this reason, the default setting is use: 'strict,loose'.

  • slug_node_from_simple_function = ( cfg ) =>—Same as slug_from_simple_function(), below, but returns an AST node representing the result. You can manipulate the node if you want it and then pass it to GUY.src._generate() to get it rendered as JS, but the result will slightly differ from what slug_from_simple_function() would return for the same input because that function does some post-processing on the source text to make it even terser.

  • slug_from_simple_function = ( cfg ) =>—Given the same cfg object one would use for GUY.src.parse(), return a 'slug' (i.e. a condensed form) of its source text. This slug is defined to be

    • if function has no return: undefined
    • if function has single return: argument property of the ReturnStatement node
    • if function has several returns: firstlast BlockStatement (i.e. the function body) (???)

Examples:

█ ( -> )
''

█ ( ( x ) -> 42 )
'42'

█ ( ( x ) -> ( not x? ) or ( @isa.object x ) or ( @isa.nonempty.text x ) )
'x == null || this.isa.object(x) || this.isa.nonempty.text(x)'

█ ( `function ( x ) { 42; }` )
'42;'

█ ( `function ( x ) { return 42; }` )
'42'

█ ( ( x ) -> if x? then true else false )
'if (x != null) { return true; } else { return false; }'

█ ( ( x ) -> ( not x? ) or ( @isa.object x ) or ( @isa.nonempty.text x ) )
'x == null || this.isa.object(x) || this.isa.nonempty.text(x)'

█ f3
'if (x > 0) { return true; } if (x < 0) { return false; } return null;'
GUY.trm
  • Preview version, expect changes
  • colorize terminal output
  • two variants of node:util.inspect(): GUY.trm.inspect(), GUY.trm.rpr()
  • standardized loggers: alert(), debug(), help(), info(), plain(), praise(), urge(), warn(), whisper()
  • produce with GUY.trm.get_loggers badge where badge identifies your submodule
  • includes short timestamp
  • writer GUY.trm.log() writes undecorated stuff to process.stderr()
  • writer GUY.trm.echo() writes undecorated stuff to process.stdout()
  • all writers and loggers apply GUY.trm.rpr to each argument independently, so echo a, b, c is like console.log ( rpr a ), ( rpr b ), ( rpr c )
  • writer GUY.trm.pen() returns string representation as used in GUY.trm.log() &c
  • GUY.trm.strip_ansi: ( text ) -> uses RegEx from (chalk)[https://raw.githubusercontent.com/chalk/ansi-regex/main/index.js] to strip ANSI codes from a given string
GUY.sets

Operations on sets, copied / modelled on JavaScript for impatient programmers (ES2022 edition): Missing Set operations

  • unite: ( P... ) ->—return the union of all sets passed in
  • intersect: ( P... ) ->—return the intersection of all sets passed in
  • subtract: ( a, b ) ->—return the set of elements of set a except for those that are also in set b
GUY.str
  • escape_for_regex: ( text ) ->—escape text so it can safely be used as a regex, with all meta-characters properly escaped.

  • SQL—a tag function that can be used to mark string literals as SQL which can then be properly treated by text editors that support nested languages.

GUY.samesame

Contains two methods, equals() and deep_copy(), that are thought to be among the best and fastest implementations for the purposes of deep equality checking and deep copying.

  • @equals = ( require 'util' ).isDeepStrictEqual
  • @deep_copy = ( require '../dependencies/rfdc-patched.js' )()
  • @copy_regex = ( require '../dependencies/sindresorhus-clone-regexp.js' ).cloneRegExp

GUY.temp

This submodule needs peer-dependencies, install them with

npm install tmp

or

pnpm add tmp

GUY.temp provides context handlers to work with temporary files and directories. It is built on top of tmp.

GUY.temp.with_file: ( cfg, handler ) -> GUY.temp.with_directory: ( cfg, handler ) ->

Note refer to hengist to see how to use these methods until docs are written; the below gives a rough idea:

To Do

  • [–] adopt icql-dba/errors#Dba_error:

    class @Dba_error extends Error
      constructor: ( ref, message ) ->
        super()
        @message  = "#{ref} (#{@constructor.name}) #{message}"
        @ref      = ref
        return undefined
    
  • [–] while test @[ "nowait with async steampipes" ] works in isolation, running the test suite hangs indefinitely.

  • [+] see whether n-readlines may be replaced by a simpler, faster implementation as it does contain some infelicitous loops in _searchInBuffer that can probably be replaced by buffer.indexOf(). Also, there's a similar implementation in intertext-splitlines. Benchmarks show that patched version with suitable chunk size performs OK; using patched version to avoid deprecation warning.

  • [–] GUY.fs.walk_lines(): allow to configure; make trimEnd() the default

  • implement easy way to collect, rediect process.stdout, process.stderr:

    original_stderr_write = process.stderr.write.bind process.stderr
    collector = []
    process.stderr.write = ( x ) ->
      echo '^3453^', type_of x
      # FS.writeSync output_fd, x
      collector.push x
      original_stderr_write '^1234^ '
      original_stderr_write x
    echo "(echo) helo world"
    info "(info) helo world"
    info "whatever goes on here"
    warn CND.reverse "is collected"
    for x in collector
      process.stdout.write '^collector@4565^' + x
    
  • [–] take over tabulation (as in hengist/src/helpers)

  • [–] could the SQL string annotation / tagged literal function be syntactically extended to allow simpler interpolation of escaped names? Could we instantiate it with a dictionary of values?

  • [–] GUY.src.get_first_return_clause_text():

    • [–] change input format to standard cfg-based to make compatible with call conventions for GUY.src.parse()
    • [–] use fallback argument to decide whether to return value or throw error in case of parsing failure (same for parse())
    • [–] return based on how many ReturnStatements are found:
      • if function has no return: undefined
      • if function has single return: argument property of the ReturnStatement node
      • if function has several returns: firstlast BlockStatement (i.e. the function body) (???)
  • [–] move GUY.src._generate() to public API

  • [–] what should be the correct output for GUY.src.slug_from_simple_function { function: ( -> ), }? Currently it is the empty string which is not ideal

  • [–] use Reflect.has() to check for property availability for Strict_owners instead of using instance method; provide as GUY.props.has()

  • [–] likewise, use GUY.props.get: ( target, name, fallback = misfit ) -> instead of instance method

  • [–] consider to move submodule _builtins, test for builtins to Intertype, backport to Intertype-legacy

  • [–] consider to make trm.log() write to stdout, err() to stderr

  • [–] implement trm.write() write to stdout without trailing newline (but formatting like log())

  • [–] consider to drop trm.pen(), use improved GUY.trm.rpr() instead

  • [–] fix GUY.props.get '', 'length' (works for sets but not for string)s

  • [–] consider to re-implement deep_copy() from letsfreezethat using rfdc

  • [–] remove dependencies as far as possible, make GUY run in browser

    LOUPE         = require '../deps/loupe.js'
    @rpr          = rpr = ( x ) => LOUPE.inspect x, { customInspect: false, }
    @xrpr         = ( x ) -> ( rpr x )[ .. 1024 ]
    
  • [–] modify behavior of GUY.props.tree():

    • [–] callbacks are take_key(), descend_value(), filter_path()
    • [–] take_key: ( owner, key, value ) ->
    • [–] descend_value: ( owner, key, value ) ->
    • [–] filter_path: ( owner, path ) ->; path will be list of strings w/out sep, single string with it
    • [+] implement GUY.props.walk_tree()
  • [–] modify behavior of GUY.trm.rpr():

    • [–] colorize for readablity
    • [–] change signature to either rpr x, cfg or rpr P...
    • [–] in either case, provide a way to pass configuration to node:util.inspect
    • [–] allow indented output
  • [–] implement method that allows to name a type and give a cfg object, returns cfg for named typed based on crossmatch()ing defaults for that type with given cfg

  • [–] GUY.trm.warn(), alert(): collect and re-issue on process exit; may want to throw error or at least issue non-zero error code when messages beyond (configurable) urgency threshold were issued; this will allow apps to not bail out prematurely on minor issues and keep messages from getting hidden in regular messages

  • [–] turn Strict_owner instances into sealed objects, retaining old behavior in new class Strict_getter

  • [–] turn GUY, submodules into Strict_owner instances

  • [–] move deep freezing, deep sealing from lft to props?

  • [–] concerning Strict_owner: in hengist/dev/intertype/_ng.test.coffee we have found a way to build custom-named functions with strict ownership:

    @_demo_type_cfgs_as_funmctions_2 = ->
      class Intertype
        create_type_cfg: ( cfg ) ->
          defaults  = { extras: true, collection: false, type: null, }
          cfg       = { defaults..., cfg..., }
          name      = cfg.type
          R         = ( ( x ) -> x ** 2 ).bind @
          Object.defineProperty R, 'name', { value: name, }
          R[ k ]    = v for k, v of cfg
          R         = new GUY.props.Strict_owner target: R
          Object.seal R
          # R         = GUY.lft.freeze R1 = R # <== doesn't freeze???
          Object.freeze R                     # <== works as expected
          return R
      types = new Intertype()
      urge '^982-1^', f = types.create_type_cfg { type: 'foobar', }
      # Object is frozen, sealed, and has a strict `get()`ter:
      urge '^982-2^', Object.isFrozen f
      urge '^982-3^', Object.isSealed f
      try f.collection = true catch error then warn rvr error.message # Cannot assign to read only property 'collection' of function 'function () { [native code] }'
      try f.xxx               catch error then warn rvr error.message # ^guy.props.Strict_owner@1^ Strict_owner instance does not have property 'xxx'
      try f.xxx = 111         catch error then warn rvr error.message # Cannot define property xxx, object is not extensible
      info '^982-4^', f.name
      info '^982-5^', f 42
      return null
    

    This should lead to the following:

    • [–] fix the apparent bug that GUY.lft.freeze() does not freeze a function
    • [–] an extension of GUY.props.Strict_owner:
      • [+] incorporate (deep?) sealing (next to freezeing)
      • [–] allow to pass in a 'deep target' such that properties not found on the immediate target (the named function in the above) will also be searched in the deep target (such as the Intertype or Dbay instance), mimicking a prototype chain
  • [–] integrate pinned package versions helper, cf ( require 'mixa/lib/check-package-versions' ) require '../pinned-package-versions.json'

  • [–] documentation for temp

Is Done

  • [+] make choice between parsers configurable:
    • only acorn
    • first acorn, upon parse error acorn-loose
    • only acorn-loose
  • [+] parse(): use fallback argument to decide whether to return value or throw error in case of parsing failure
  • [+] testing for a key without inadvertantly retrieving its value is surprisingly involved in JS. Re-implement GUY.props.has()
    • (1) using Reflect.has() catching TypeError: Reflect.has called on non-object, and Object.getPrototypeOf(), or
    • (2) using attribute access x[ key ], discarding value and catching errors from strict owners, null and undefined.
    • option (2) should be faster, maybe just live with the fact that attribute checking without value retrieval is not very viable in JS
    • depending on favorable benchmarks, may want to cache whether instances of a given type are collections with a size and if so, which property (length or size) is used structuredClone; benchmarks
  • [+] rename GUY.props.has_keys() -> GUY.props.has_any_keys()
  • [+] replace peer-dependency temp with tmp as the former has global state (see node-temp#98)
  • [+] make temp context handlers work with async functions
  • [+] consider to use promise with after, as in after = ( dts, f ) => new Promise ( resolve ) -> setTimeout ( -> resolve f() ), dts * 1000
