dictlist-util-pmb v0.1.0

dictlist-util-pmb

Utilities for dealing with lists of dictionaries.

API

This module exports one function:

makeDictList(x)

Returns a dictionary list (shortened "DL" from now), i.e. an array that holds some extra methods described below.

• If x is an array, the resulting DL will contain all elements of x that look like dictionary objects. (Currently, any truthy value qualifies.)
• Otherwise, if x looks like a dictionary object, the resulting DL will contain just x.
• If x is false-y (e.g. not supplied), the resulting DL will be empty.

Methods on dictionary lists

.getEachOwnProp(key)

Return an array with the values of all own key-named properties from all dictionaries that have them.
