wlooker

module::Looker

Collection of routines to traverse complex data structure. The module takes care of cycles in a data structure( recursions ) and can be used for comparison, cloning, serialization or operation on several similar data structures. Many other modules based on this to traverse abstract data structures.

Relations diagram

The diagram above displays the connections between classes Looker, Replicator, Stringer, Selector, Resolver and Equaler. The solid lines indicate inheritance between classes, where the arrow indicates the parent class. The dashed lines indicate the use of classes, where the arrow indicates the class used by another. The diagram shows that Looker is the basic class, and it's inherited by others.

Sample

let structure =
{
  number : 1,
  string : 's',
  array : [ 1, { date : new Date() } ],
  routine : function(){},
  set : new Set([ 'a', 13 ]),
  hasmap : new HashMap([ [ 'a', 13 ], [ null, 0 ] ]),
}

_.look( structure, ( e, k, it ) => console.log( it.path ) );

/* output :
