qol

Are you tired of making the same module in every project? Not a problem! Qol has your back.

A suite of random but useful functions that are aimed at giving you 'piece of cake' level comfortability.

Importing

// ES6 Module
import * as qol from "@techtronics/qol";

// ES6 Destructuring
import { randomColour } from "@techtronics/qol";

// ES5 Module
const qol = require("@techtronics/qol");

// ES5 Destructuring
const { randomColour } = require("@techtronics/qol");

Functions

randomColour

Get a random colour; For those scenarios where you couldn't care less!

Returns a string

const c = randomColour();
const cRGB = randomColour("rgb");
const cCMYK = randomColour("cmyk");
const cHSV = randomColour("hsv");
const cHSL = randomColour("hsl");

console.log(c, cRGB, cCMYK, cHSV, cHSL);
// #f7f7f7, rgb(247,247,247), cmyk(0%,0%,0%,3%), hsv(0,0%,97%), hsl(0,0%,97%)

parseDate

Send in date parameters and receive either an object with their metadata, or a parsed date (e.g 2 Sep 2020); American formatting is possible (e.g Sep 2 2020).

NOTE: You do not need to add 1 to the day or month, it will do that for you.

Returns a string or DateObject

const d = new Date();

const dateArr = [d.getDate(), d.getDay(), d.getMonth(), d.getFullYear()];

const pD = parseDate(...dateArr, "nll", true);
const pDfull = parseDate(...dateArr, "lll");

console.log(pD, pDfull);
// October 24 2022, Monday 24th October 2022

interface DateObject {
	day: {
		short: string;
		long: string;
		ordinalMonth: string;
		ordinalWeek: string;
		weekNumber: number;
		monthNumber: number;
	};
	month: {
		short: string;
		long: string;
		ordinal: string;
		number: number;
	};
	year: {
		short: number;
		long: number;
	};
}

numParse

Convert a number into a string as if it's MS Excel!

Returns a string

const num = numParse(2100.45, "space");
const numEurope = numParse(2100.45, "punct");
const numCustom = numParse(2100.45, "-" as any);

console.log(num, numEurope, numCustom);
// 2 100.45, 2.100,45, 2-100.45)
