const _ = require('@lxg1992/SharedLotide');

Call it:

const results = _.tail([1, 2, 3]) // => [2, 3]

Documentation

The following functions are currently implemented:

• head(array): returns the first element of an array
• tail(array): returns the array without the first element
• middle(array): if array has even number of elements, returns an array of two middle numbers, otherwise if array has odd number of elements, returns an array of a middle number
• assertArraysEqual(actual,expected): compares the actual value of an array to the expected value of an array and logs the result to the console
• assertEqual(actual,expected): compares the actual value of to the expected and logs the result to the console
• assertObjectsEqual(actual,expected): compares the actual value of an object to the expected value of an object and logs the result to the console
• countLetter(string): takes in a string and returns an object with the keys each being a letter that is encountered in the string and the value of each said key being the number of times that letter is encountered in the string
• countOnly(arrayOfValues, objectOfItemsToCount): returns an object that has the number of times each key of objectOfItemsToCount is encountered in arrayOfValues
• eqArrays(array1, array2): returns true if array1 is found equal to array2, otherwise returns false
• eqObjects(object1, object2): returns true if object1 has the same keys and values as object2, otherwise returns false
• findKey(object, callback): returns the first item within an object which returns true when tested against the callback function
• findKeyByValue(objectToScan, valueToUse) : Takes an object and a specified value, and returns the first key within the object that has this specified value.
• flatten(toFlatten): Takes a nested array and returns an array with one layer.
• map(array, callback): Takes an array and a callback function. The callback function applies an action to each element of the array, and returns a new array with the results.
• takeUntil(array, callback) : receives array and callback function. The callback function will assess each value within the inputed array until callback(value) returns true. takeUntil will then a return a new array, containing all of the inputed values up until that value.
• without(source, itemsToRemove): takes a source array and a itemsToRemove array, and removes the values within itemsToRemove from the source array
