helprjs

This is an EASY TO USE collection of useful methods for manipulating object arrays with added helpers.

Example array of objects

Most of the examples here make use of this people object.

const people = [
    { id: 1, firstName: 'John', secondName: 'Smith', age: '61', status: 1 },
    { id: 2, firstName: 'John', secondName: 'West', age: '55', status: true },
    { id: 3, firstName: 'Brenda', secondName: 'Holt', age: '60', status: false },
    { id: 4, firstName: 'Sally', secondName: 'Brampton', age: '33', status: undefined },
    { id: 5, firstName: 'June', secondName: 'Chester', age: '47', status: NaN },
    { id: 6, firstName: 'Jack', secondName: 'Carter', age: '24', status: null },
    { id: 7, firstName: 'Jack', secondName: 'Foster', age: '58', status: 0 },
    { id: 7, firstName: 'Jack', secondName: 'Foster', age: '58', status: 0 },
    { id: 7, firstName: 'Jack', secondName: 'Foster', age: '58', status: 0 },
];

Example of use - React example - Demo

import { getEven } from 'helprjs';

function App() {

  const people = [
    { id: 1, firstName: 'John', secondName: 'Smith', age: '61', status: 1 },
    { id: 2, firstName: 'John', secondName: 'West', age: '55', status: true },
    { id: 3, firstName: 'Brenda', secondName: 'Holt', age: '60', status: false },
    { id: 4, firstName: 'Sally', secondName: 'Brampton', age: '33', status: undefined },
    { id: 5, firstName: 'June', secondName: 'Chester', age: '47', status: NaN },
    { id: 6, firstName: 'Jack', secondName: 'Carter', age: '24', status: null },
    { id: 7, firstName: 'Jack', secondName: 'Foster', age: '58', status: 0 },
    { id: 7, firstName: 'Jack', secondName: 'Foster', age: '58', status: 0 },
    { id: 7, firstName: 'Jack', secondName: 'Foster', age: '58', status: 0 },
  ];

  const result = getOdd(people,'age');

  return (
    <div className="App">
      <h1>Users with an even age</h1>
      <table>
        <tr>
          <th scope="col">First Name</th>
          <th scope="col">Second Name</th>
          <th scope="col">Age</th>
        </tr>
      {result && result.map((item, index) =>
          <tr key={index}>
            <td>{item.firstName}</td>
            <td>{item.secondName}</td>
            <td>{item.age}</td>
          </tr>)
      }
      </table>
    </div>
  );
}

export default App;

Methods

Methods can be grouped into the following categories:

General : object array manipulation

Array: array only

Boolean : returns true or false

Helpers : deals with values

Numerical : uses numerical data

Vailidation : returns only objects that meet the valid criteria

Combination - Demo

In this example five methods have been used to generate a desired output.  
It is overengineered and an unlikely requirement however it demonstrates 
more possibilities when using helprjs.
