calango v1.1.0

calango.js

A modern javascript library that empowers native Array's functionality with helpers that facilitates data structure manipulations.

Motivation

Even though there are a couple of nice libraries for data manipulation in javascript, such as lodash, I've decided to go simple and build a small and compact lib with the functionalities I use the most in my daily routine.

Usage

First, install the calango module:

npm install calango --save

or install with yarn

yarn add calango

API

calango(arr, config)

Initalizes the object

Arguments:

• arr (Array): the array to be mutated
• config (Object):
  • whitelist (Array): define which methods you want to be available
  • blacklist (Array): remove one or many specific methods from the object.

.value

Simply retrieve the array

const arr = [1, 2, 3];
const instance = calango(arr);
instance.value(); // [1, 2, 3]

.toMap

Transforms an array of objects into a key:value object, based on the passed property.

import calango from 'calango';

const houses = calango([
  {
    id: '1',
    name: 'User 1',
    rating: 3,
    properties: [
      { name: 'Duplex Flat', neighborhood: 'Friderichshain' },
      { name: 'Cozy Apartment', neighborhood: 'Friderichshain' }
    ]
  },
  {
    id: '2',
    name: 'User 2',
    rating: 2,
    properties: [{ name: 'Single Room', neighborhood: 'Lichtenberg' }]
  }
]);

houses.toMap('id');

/*
output: 
{
  1: {
    id: '1',
    name: 'User 1',
    rating: 3,
    properties: [
      { name: 'Duplex Flat', neighborhood: 'Friderichshain' },
      { name: 'Cozy Apartment', neighborhood: 'Friderichshain' }
    ]
  },
  2: {
    id: '2',
    name: 'User 2',
    rating: 2,
    properties: [{ name: 'Single Room', neighborhood: 'Lichtenberg' }]
  }
};

*/

.group(prop)

Groups objects with the same value for a given property

import calango from 'calango';

const houses = calango([
  {
    id: '1',
    name: 'User 1',
    rating: 3,

  {
    id: '3',
    name: 'User 3',
    rating: 2,
    properties: [{ name: 'Single Room', neighborhood: 'Mitte' }]

houses.group('rating');

/*

group(prop, childProp) (by children)

Groups objects with the same value for a given child property
