cap-helpers v1.0.2

CAP Distributing's JavaScript Helpers

We created this package so we could easily share these basic function across all of our applications.

Usage

It returns the following functions:

• sortArray: a function that takes 2 parameters (Array to sort, and key to sort on) and returns a sorted array. For example:

  • var capHelpers = require('cap-helpers');
    var myArray = [{name: 'Zach'}, {name: 'Jamie'}];
    capHelpers.sortArray(myArray, ['name']);
    // returns [{name: 'Jamie'}, {name: 'Zach'}]

• toBase64: a function that converts the given value to base64. For example:

  • var capHelpers = require('cap-helpers');
    var value = 'this is a string!!';
    capHelpers.toBase64(value);
    // returns 'dGhpcyBpcyBhIHN0cmluZyEh'

• fromBase64: a function that converts the given value from base64. For example:

  • var capHelpers = require('cap-helpers');
    var value = 'dGhpcyBpcyBhIHN0cmluZyEh';
    capHelpers.fromBase64(value);
    // returns 'this is a string!!'

• orderObject: a function that orders an object's keys alphabetically. For example:

  • var capHelpers = require('cap-helpers');
    var myObj = {name: 'Jamie', age: 25};
    capHelpers.orderObject(myObj);
    // returns {age: 25, name: 'Jamie'}

• numberWithCommas: a function that converts a number to a string with commas. For example:

  • var capHelpers = require('cap-helpers');
    var num = 1234567.89;
    capHelpers.numberWithCommas(num);
    // returns '1,234,567.89'

• camelcaseToUnderscore: a function that takes a camelcased string, object or array and converts it to underscores. For example:

  • var capHelpers = require('cap-helpers');
    var str = 'myString';
    capHelpers.camelcaseToUnderscore(str);
    // returns 'my_string'

• underscoreToCamelcase: a function that takes an underscored string, object or array and converts it to camelcase. For example:

  • var capHelpers = require('cap-helpers');
    var str = 'my_string';
    capHelpers.underscoreToCamelcase(str);
    // returns 'myString'

• underscoreToTitlecase: a function that takes an underscored string, object or array and converts it to titlecase. For example:

  • var capHelpers = require('cap-helpers');
    var str = 'my_string';
    capHelpers.underscoreToTitlecase(str);
    // returns 'MyString'

• titlecaseToCamelcase: a function that takes a titlecased string, object or array and converts it to camelcase. For example:

  • var capHelpers = require('cap-helpers');
    var str = 'MyString';
    capHelpers.titlecaseToCamelcase(str);
    // returns 'myString'

Testing

• npm test > Runs all the tests and checks the code coverage.
• npm run single-test > Runs all the tests once.
• npm run watch-test > Runs all the tests and watches for changes.
• npm run check-coverage > Checks the code coverage (this should be ran after running the tests).
