proxy-views v0.0.1

proxy-views.js

Some wrapper views for Plain Data Object with Proxy. Make Data Object more semantic and easier to use.

For now, it have three views:

1. MissingView : a naive wrapper for missing property;
2. StrictView : you can only access property that exists in the origin object;
3. AliasView : you can define alias for property.

Install

npm install proxy-views

Usage

StrictView

fetures:

1. you can only get/set the property that exists in origin;
2. if you get/set a property that not exists in origin, it will throw error.

const { StrictView } = require('proxy-views');

const origin = {
    name: 'origin name'
};

const view = new StrictView(origin);

console.log(view.name); // 'origin name'
console.log(view.title); // throw error: `title` is not defined in origin
view.title = 'new name'; // throw error: `title` is not defined in origin

AliasView

fetures:

1. if you access a prop with alias then it will return the value of origin prop;
2. if you modify a prop with alias then the origin prop's value will be modified by setter;

const { AliasView } = require('proxy-views');

const origin = {
    a: {
        b: {
            c: {
                name: 'origin name'
            }
        }
    }
};

const view = new AliasView(origin);
view.alias('a.b.c.name', 'alias1');
view.alias('a.b.c.name', ['alias2']);
view.alias('a.b.c.name', ['alias3'], 'alias4');

console.log(origin.a.b.c.name); // 'origin name'
console.log(view.a.b.c.name); // 'origin name'
console.log(view.alias1); // 'origin name'
console.log(view.alias2); // 'origin name'
console.log(view.alias3); // 'origin name'
console.log(view.alias4); // 'origin name'

view.alias1 = 'new name';
console.log(origin.a.b.c.name); // `new name`
console.log(origin.alias1); // undefined
