@mat.davis/lotide v1.0.0

Lotide

A mini clone of the Lodash library.

Purpose

BEWARE: This library was published for learning purposes. It is not intended for use in production-grade software.

This project was created and published by me as part of my learnings at Lighthouse Labs.

Usage

Install it:

npm install @mat.davis/lotide

Require it:

const _ = require('@mat.davis/lotide');

Call it:

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

• NOTE: \ use findLib{...} for: \ const findKey = _.findLib.findKey(object, callback)\ const findKey_Obj = _.findLib.findKey_Obj(object, callback)

Documentation

The following functions are currently implemented:

• countLetters(string): This function takes a single argument, a string, and will return a object containing { letter: appearanceCount } spaces are ignored.

• countOnly(array, object): This function takes two arguments an array of items to count and an object that contains a boolean value to indicate if that key should be counted. If the key doesn't exist in the array undefined is returned.

• eqArrays(array1, array2): A function which takes in two arrays and returns true if they are equal, false otherwise. This function works recursively with any level of nested arrays.

• eqObjects(obj1, obj2): A function which takes in two objects and returns true if they are equal, false otherwise. This function works recursively on nested data.

• findLib {...: An Object that contains the following methods:
  • .findKey(object, callback): A function which takes in an object and a callback and returns the key as soon as the callback is true.
  • .findKey_Obj(object, callback): A function which takes in an object and a callback and returns an object that contains the properties that pass the callback test. \ }

• findKeyByValue(object, value): A function that takes two arguments, an object and a value of that object the corresponding key of that value is returned.

• flatten(array): A function that takes an array with one level of nesting and returns the array without the nested elements. Note a very simple version here, this would be a good case for recursion if I have time in the future.

• head(array): A function takes in an array and returns the first element of that array.
• letterPositions(string): A function that takes a string and returns an object that contains each letter and the index that each letter occurs at.
• map(array, callback): This is my attempt at re-making the map function. This function takes two arguments, an array, and a callback, it returns a new array populated with elements from the callback.
• middle(array):A function that takes in an array and returns the middle-most element(s if length is even).
• tail(array): A function that returns all but the first element of an array.
• takeUntil(array, callback): This function takes two arguments, an array, and a callback. The function returns elements of the array to a new array until the callback condition is met.
• without(array, toRemove): This function takes two arguments a source array, and an item(s) to remove array and returns the array without those item(s).
