Morphism

npm npm bundle size (minified) npm Coveralls github CircleCI (all branches) Deps

In many fields of mathematics, morphism refers to a structure-preserving map from one mathematical structure to another. A morphism f with source X and target Y is written f : X → Y. Thus a morphism is represented by an arrow from its source to its target.

Getting started

Installation

npm install --save morphism

Example

import { morphism } from 'morphism';

// Source data coming from an API.
const source = {
  foo: 'baz',
  bar: ['bar', 'foo'],
  baz: {
    qux: 'bazqux'
  }
};

// Target Class in which to morph the source data. (Optional)
class Destination {
  foo = null;
  bar = null;
  bazqux = null;
}

// A structure-preserving object from a source data towards a target data.
const schema = {
  foo: 'bar[1]', // Grab the property value by his path
  bar: (iteratee, source, destination) => {
    // Apply a Function on the current element
    return iteratee.bar[0];
  },
  bazqux: {
    // Apply a function on property value
    path: 'baz.qux',
    fn: (propertyValue, source) => {
      return propertyValue;
    }
  }
};

const classObjects = morphism(schema, source, Destination);
// Destination {foo: "foo", bar: "bar", bazqux: "bazqux"}

const jsObjects = morphism(schema, source);
// Object {foo: "foo", bar: "bar", bazqux: "bazqux"}

Motivation

We live in a era where we deal with mutiple data contracts coming from several sources (Rest API, Services, Raw JSON...). When it comes to transform multiple data contracts to match with your domain objects, it's common to create your objects with Object.assign, new Object(sourceProperty1, sourceProperty2) or by simply assigning each source properties to your destination. This can leads you to have your business logic spread all over the place.

Morphism allows you to keep this business logic centralized and brings you a top-down view of your data transformation. When a contract change occurs, it helps to track the bug since you just need to refer to your schema

Docs

📚 API documentation

Morphism comes with 3 artifacts to achieve your transformations:

1. The Schema

A schema is an object-preserving map from one data structure to another.

The keys of the schema match the desired destination structure. Each value corresponds to an Action applied by Morphism when iterating over the input data.

You can use 4 kind of values in your schema:

  • ActionString: A string that allows to perform a projection from a property
  • ActionSelector: An Object that allows to perform a function over a source property's value
  • ActionFunction: A Function that allows to perform a function over source property
  • ActionAggregator: An Array of Strings that allows to perform a function over source property
Schema Example
import { morphism } from 'morphism';

const input = {
  foo: {
    baz: 'value1'
  }
};

const schema = {
  bar: 'foo', // ActionString: Allows to perform a projection from a property
  qux: ['foo', 'foo.baz'], // ActionAggregator: Allows to aggregate multiple properties
  quux: (iteratee, source, destination) => {
    // ActionFunction: Allows to perform a function over source property
    return iteratee.foo;
  },
  corge: {
    // ActionSelector: Allows to perform a function over a source property's value
    path: 'foo.baz',
    fn: (propertyValue, source) => {
      return propertyValue;
    }
  }
};

morphism(schema, input);
// {
//   "bar": {
//     "baz": "value1"
//   },
//   "qux": {
//     "foo": {
//       "baz": "value1"
//     }
//   },
//   "quux": {
//     "baz": "value1"
//   },
//   "corge": "value1"
// }

📚 Schema Docs

1.1 Using a strict Schema

You might want to enforce the keys provided in your schema using Typescript. This is possible using a StrictSchema. Doing so will require to map every field of the Target type provided.

interface IFoo {
  foo: string;
  bar: number;
}
const schema: StrictSchema<IFoo> = { foo: 'qux', bar: () => 'test' };
const source = { qux: 'foo' };
const target = morphism(schema, source);
// {
//   "foo": "qux",
//   "bar": "test"
// }

2. Morphism as Currying Function

The simplest way to use morphism is to import the currying function:

import { morphism } from 'morphism';

morphism either outputs a mapping function or the transformed data depending on the usage:

API
morphism(schema: Schema, items?: any, type?: any): any

📚 Currying Function Docs

Currying Function Example
// Outputs a function when only a schema is provided
const fn = morphism(schema);
const result = fn(data);

// Outputs the transformed data when a schema and the source data are provided
const result = morphism(schema, data);

// Outputs the transformed data as an ES6 Class Object when a schema, the source data and an ES6 Class are provided
const result = morphism(schema, data, Foo);
// => Items in result are instance of Foo

3. Morphism as Function Decorators

You can also use Function Decorators on your method or functions to transform the return value using Morphism:

toJsObject Decorator
import { toJSObject } from 'morphism';

class Service {
  @toJSObject({
    foo: currentItem => currentItem.foo,
    baz: 'bar.baz'
  })
  async fetch() {
    const response = await fetch('https://api.com');
    return response.json();
    // =>
    // {
    //   foo: 'fooValue'
    //   bar: {
    //     baz: 'bazValue'
    //   }
    // };
  }
}

// await service.fetch() will return
// =>
// {
//   foo: 'fooValue',
//   baz: 'bazValue'
// }

--------------------------------

// Using Typescript will enforce the key from the target to be required
class Target {
  a: string = null;
  b: string = null;
}
class Service {
  // By Using <Target>, Mapping for Properties `a` and `b` will be required
  @toJSObject<Target>({
    a: currentItem => currentItem.foo,
    b: 'bar.baz'
  })
  fetch();
}
toClassObject Decorator
import { toClassObject } from 'morphism';

class Target {
  foo = null;
  bar = null;
}
const schema = {
  foo: currentItem => currentItem.foo,
  baz: 'bar.baz'
};
class Service {
  @toClassObject(schema, Target)
  async fetch() {
    const response = await fetch('https://api.com');
    return response.json();
    // =>
    // {
    //   foo: 'fooValue'
    //   bar: {
    //     baz: 'bazValue'
    //   }
    // };
  }
}

// await service.fetch() will be instanceof Target
// =>
// Target {
//   foo: 'fooValue',
//   baz: 'bazValue'
// }
- morph Decorator

Utility decorator wrapping toClassObject and toJSObject decorators

import { toClassObject } from 'morphism';

class Target {
  foo = null;
  bar = null;
}
const schema = {
  foo: currentItem => currentItem.foo,
  baz: 'bar.baz'
};
class Service {
  @morph(schema)
  async fetch() {
    const response = await fetch('https://api.com');
    return response.json();
    // =>
    // {
    //   foo: 'fooValue'
    //   bar: {
    //     baz: 'bazValue'
    //   }
    // };
  }
  @morph(schema, Target)
  async fetch2() {
    const response = await fetch('https://api.com');
    return response.json();
  }
}
// await service.fetch() will be
// =>
// {
//   foo: 'fooValue',
//   baz: 'bazValue'
// }

// await service.fetch() will be instanceof Target
// =>
// Target {
//   foo: 'fooValue',
//   baz: 'bazValue'
// }

4. Morphism as Mixin

Morphism comes along with an internal registry you can use to save your schema attached to a specific ES6 Class.

In order to use the registry, you might want to use the default export:

import Morphism from 'morphism';

All features available with the currying function are also available when using the mixin plus the internal registry:

// Currying Function
Morphism(schema: Schema, items?: any, type?: any): any

// Registry API
Morphism.register(type: any, schema?: Schema);
Morphism.map(type: any, data?: any);
Morphism.setMapper(type: any, schema: Schema);
Morphism.getMapper(type);
Morphism.deleteMapper(type);
Morphism.mappers
