intake

JavaScript utilities and other helper methods for intake form applications.

Overview

This module was created out of a need to access a global library of JavaScript helper functions targeted at assisting applications built around intake forms. This module includes several utilities to make building intake form applications easier, and provide consistency around how data is formatted.

addLeadingZeros	Pads a number or string with zeros on the left
addYearsToDate	Adds years to a date
formatSSN	Formats a string of numbers as XXX-XX-XXXX
getDateDiff	Determines the numerical difference between two dates for a specific interval
isEmptyOrUndefined	Determines if an object is empty, null, or undefined
isNumeric	Determines if a string can be interpreted as numeirc
toBoolean	Returns true or false if given true/1 or false/0 as input regardless of type
toTitleCase	Capitalizes the first character of each word in a string

Examples
