Functions

For more extensive examples, please refer to the tests.

align(obj: Object, ref: Object)

Align the ordering of one object recursively to a reference object.

Example:

const { align } = require('object-lib');

const obj = { k1: 1, k2: 2 };
const ref = { k2: null, k1: null };

align(obj, ref);
// obj => { k2: 1, k1: 2 }

contains(tree: Object, subtree: Object)

Check if subtree is contained in tree recursively.

Different types are never considered contained.

Arrays are contained iff they are the same length and every element is contained in the corresponding element.

Objects are contained if the keys are a subset, and the respective values are contained.

All other types are contained if they match exactly (===).

Example:

const { contains } = require('object-lib');

contains({ a: [1, 2], b: 'c' }, { a: [1, 2] });
// => true

contains({ a: [1, 2], b: 'c' }, { a: [1] });
// => false

Merge(logic: Object = {})(...obj: Object[])

Allows merging of objects. The logic defines paths that map to a field, or a function, to merge by.

If a function is passed, it is invoked with the value, and the result is used as the merge identifier.

The paths are defined using object-scan syntax.

Example:

const { Merge } = require('object-lig');

Merge()(
  { children: [{ id: 1 }, { id: 2 }] },
  { children: [{ id: 2 }, { id: 3 }] }
);
// => { children: [ { id: 1 }, { id: 2 }, { id: 2 }, { id: 3 } ] }

Merge({ '**[*]': 'id' })(
  { children: [{ id: 1 }, { id: 2 }] },
  { children: [{ id: 2 }, { id: 3 }] }
);
// => { children: [ { id: 1 }, { id: 2 }, { id: 3 } ] }
