index-prop-injector v1.1.2

index-prop-injector

Returns a new Javascript object with attached property at specified index.

index-prop-injector(oldObject, newProperty, newValue, index)

WARNING

This module takes advantage of the ES6 Object.keys() method traversing the returned array of a given object's own enumerable properties. The order of the elements in the returned array by Object.keys() is: 1) integer indices sorted numerically in ascending order ; and, 2) string keys in the order in which they were added to the object .

This module was written to only work with regular string keys , considering they maintain the order in which they were added to the object.

Taking into account that integer indices are numbers that, in the end, are coerced to strings, this module applies a diffing algorithm based on the ECMA spec for array index to sort between integer indices and regular strings.

The presence of one or more integer indicies throws an error .

Symbol

This module does not apply to objects with Symbol as keys, since they do not show on the Objects.keys() returned array.

In summery: ONLY USE ON ES2015 ENVIRONMENT and DO NOT USE ON OBJECTS WITH SYMBOL AS KEYS !

Usage:

const indexPropInjector = require('index-prop-injector');

const obj1 = {
  prop1: val1,
  prop2: val2,
  prop3: val3,
  prop4: val4,
  prop5: val5
}

const obj2 = indexPropInjector(obj1, "propX", "valueX", 3)
console.log(obj2);

obj2 = {
prop1: val1,
prop2: val2,
prop3: val3,
propX:valueX,
prop4: val4,
prop5: val5
};
