crisp-path v1.3.2

Crisp.PathJS

is a DSL Language to finde nodes in JavaScript Objects with focus of FRD (find, rule and deliver)

var myObject = Crisp.utilCreate({
    ns: 'util.path'
}).objIni().objData({
    a: {
        b: 'B',
        c: 'C'
    }
});

// find first node of path
myObject.pathNode('a.*:');  // 'B'

// find all nodes of path optional asynchronous
myObject.pathFind({
    path: 'a.*:',
    success: function( e ) {
        console.log('success:', e );
    },
    complete: function( e ) {
        console.log('complete:', e );
    }
});
// logs:
// success: B
// success: C
// complete: [ { data: 'B' }, { data: 'C' } ]

// check of path exists in object
myObject.pathExists('a.*:');  // true

Getting Started

Server-Nodes

Use Node Package Manager (npm) to install crisp-path for Node.js and io.js

$ npm install crisp-path

// use package
require("crisp-path");

or use the OpenCrisp UtilJS wraper

$ npm install crisp-util

// use package
require("crisp-util");

Web-Clients

Use Bower to install crisp-path for Browsers APP's and other front-end workflows.

$ bower install crisp-path

<!-- use package -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="dist/crisp-path.min.js"></script>

or use the OpenCrisp UtilJS wraper

$ bower install crisp-util

<!-- use package -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="dist/crisp-util.min.js"></script>

Development

Use Git to clone Crisp.PathJS from GitHub to develop the repository with Grunt

# Clone:
$ git clone https://github.com/OpenCrisp/Crisp.PathJS.git

# Build: test, concat, test, minify, test
$ grunt

# Test: original sourcecode for developer (included in build)
$ grunt t

# Run all test-scripts on Unix
$ sh grunt-tests.sh

Usage

How to use Crisp.PathJS with JavaScript.

Crisp.definePath()

How to use Crisp.definePath( object ) module.

var myObject = { a: 'A', b: 'B' };

// initialice path property functions on myObject
Crisp.definePath( myObject );

// find first node of path string
myObject.pathNode('a:');  // 'A'
myObject.pathNode('b:');  // 'B'
myObject.pathNode('*:');  // 'A'

Crisp.utilCreate()

How to use Crisp.utilCreate( option ) with util.path namespace.

// create object with `util.path` namespace
var myObject = Crisp.utilCreate({
    ns: 'util.path'
}).objIni().objData({ a: 'A', b: 'B' });

// find first node of path string
myObject.pathNode('a:');  // 'A'
myObject.pathNode('b:');  // 'B'
myObject.pathNode('*:');  // 'A'

PathJS function

.pathNode()

Hot to use .pathNode( path OR option ) on myObject.

// find first node of path string
myObject.pathNode('b:');  // 'B'

// or with option.path string
myObject.pathNode({ path: 'b:' });  // 'B'

• path - find first node with path-string
• option
  • path - find first node with path-string
  • preset - alternate value if path not found

path (pathNode)

create myObject with Crisp.utilCreate() or initalice with Crisp.definePath().

// find first node of path string
myObject.pathNode('a:');  // 'A'
myObject.pathNode('b:');  // 'B'
myObject.pathNode('*:');  // 'A'

option.path (pathNode)

create myObject with Crisp.utilCreate() or initalice with Crisp.definePath().

// find first node of option.path string
myObject.pathNode({ path: 'a:' });  // 'A'
myObject.pathNode({ path: 'b:' });  // 'B'
myObject.pathNode({ path: '*:' });  // 'A'

option.preset (pathNode)

create myObject with Crisp.utilCreate() or initalice with Crisp.definePath().

// find first node of path string
myObject.pathNode({
  path: 'x:', 
  preset: 'X'
});
// 'X'

myObject.pathNode({
  path: 'x:',
  preset: function() { return 'X'; }
});
// 'X'

myObject.pathNode({
  path: 'x:'
});
// undefined

.pathFind()

Hot to use .pathFind( option ) on myObject.

var myObject = Crisp.utilCreate({
    ns: 'util.path'
}).objIni().objData({ a: 'A', b: 'B' });

myObject.pathFind({
    path: 'a',
    success: function( item ) {
        console.log('Success:', item );
    },
    complete: function( e ) {
        console.log('Complete:', e.List().xTo() );
    }
});
console.log('End');

// logs:
// Success: A
// Complete: [{"data":"A"}]
// End

• option
  • path - find nodes with path-string filter
  • async - enable asynchronous callback
  • success - callback per find node
  • complete - callback on search end
  • start - start of find nodes
  • limit - limit to find nodes
  • self - thisArg for callback

option.path (pathFind)

create myObject with Crisp.utilCreate() or initalice with Crisp.definePath().

myObject.pathFind({
    path: '*',
    complete: function( e ) {
        console.log('Complete:', e.List().xTo() );
    }
});
console.log('End');

// logs:
// Complete: [{"data":"A"},{"data":"B"}]
// End

option.async (pathFind)

create myObject with Crisp.utilCreate() or initalice with Crisp.definePath().

myObject.pathFind({
    path: '*',
    async: true,
    complete: function( e ) {
        console.log('Complete:', e.List().xTo() );
    }
});
console.log('End');

// logs:
// End
// Complete: [{"data":"A"},{"data":"B"}]

option.success (pathFind)

create myObject with Crisp.utilCreate() or initalice with Crisp.definePath().

myObject.pathFind({
    path: '*',
    success: function( item ) {
        console.log('Success:', item );
    }
});
console.log('End');

// logs:
// Success: A
// Success: B
// End

option.complete (pathFind)

create myObject with Crisp.utilCreate() or initalice with Crisp.definePath().

myObject.pathFind({
    path: '*',
    complete: function( e ) {
        console.log('Complete:', e.List().xTo() );
    }
});
console.log('End');

// logs:
// Complete: [{"data":"A"},{"data":"B"}]
// End

option.start (pathFind)

create myObject with Crisp.utilCreate() or initalice with Crisp.definePath().

myObject.pathFind({
    path: '*',
    start: 1,
    complete: function( e ) {
        console.log('Complete:', e.List().xTo() );
    }
});
console.log('End');

// logs:
// Complete: [{"data":"B"}]
// End

option.limit (pathFind)

create myObject with Crisp.utilCreate() or initalice with Crisp.definePath().

myObject.pathFind({
    path: '*',
    limit: 1,
    complete: function( e ) {
        console.log('Complete:', e.List().xTo() );
    }
});
console.log('End');

// logs:
// Complete: [{"data":"A"}]
// End

option.self (pathFind)

create myObject with Crisp.utilCreate() or initalice with Crisp.definePath().

var myArg = {};
myObject.pathFind({
    path: '*',
    self: myArg,
    complete: function( e ) {
        console.log('Complete:', this === myArg );
    }
});
console.log('End');

// logs:
// Complete: true
// End

.pathExists()

Hot to use .pathExists( path ) on myObject.

// check of path string exists in myObject
myObject.pathExists('b');  // true
myObject.pathExists('*');  // true
myObject.pathExists('x');  // false
