Documentation

The following functions are currently implemented:

• head(array): Get the headliner, the main event--the first item in an array!
• tail(array): Off with its head! Get back an array free from the pesky first entry.
• middle(array): Put in an array and get the object right in the middle (or, if it's even, the two objects in the middle). Just think Goldilocks.
• countLetters(string): Do you need to count the letters in a string? If so, rethink your life... but run this function first!
• countOnly(allItems, itemsToCount): Takes in an array of items as well as an array of items to count.
• eqArrays(someArray, anotherArray): Are two arrays identical? This handy function will soothe your curiosity.
• eqObjects(someObject, anotherObject): See above, but with objects.
• findKey(someObject, someFunction): Write a lil function to find a specific object key. How about x => x.stars === 2, which will find a two-star restaurant in a list of other restaurants?
• findKeyByValue(someObject, someKey): Does what it says on the tin.
• letterPositions(someString): Gives you the positions of letters in a string.
• map(someArray, someFunction): Lets you do something to every item in an array. Pass in a function and go wild.
• takeUntil(someArray, someFunction): Cuts off an array when a function returns TRUE. If only giving up other things was so easy.
• without(someArray, anotherArray): Sends back an array without the inconvenient bits.
