primitive-pool v2.0.0

primitive-pool

Get object for a primitive value. Useful to make WeakMap store strings/numbers and other primitives.

Usage

import p from 'primitive-pool'

let map = new WeakMap()

map.set(p('abc'), 123)
map.get(p('abc')) // 123

map.set(p(null), 789)
map.get(p(null)) // 789

map.set(p(123), 'abc')
map.get(p(123)) // 'abc'

// non-primitives are stored as is
let a = {}
map.set(p(a), 'xyz')
map.get(a) // 'xyz'

Alternative can be done via weak refs.
