type-filter (4.0.0)

typeFilter([ value ] [, handler | handlerList | typeHandler ] [, options ] [, ...otherArguments ])

• value is any type
• handler is a function
• handlerList is an array
• typeHandler is an object
• options is boolean or function or object

• otherArguments are any types

  first argument: get type
  second argument: handler | handlerList | typeHandler
  third argument: once | options
  other arguments: other arguments

default handlers: no | yes | on, off | type | typeClass | call | recheck | callRecheck | error | map | handler

install

npm i type-filter

import

import typeFilter, { handler } from 'type-filter'

or

import { typeFilter, handler } from 'type-filter'

to minimize code size use this importing

import typeFilter from 'type-filter/typeFilter'
import handler from 'type-filter/handlers/handler'

get type

Use only one argument to get a type.

typeFilter(undefined) // returns 'undefined'
typeFilter(null) // returns 'null'
typeFilter(NaN) // returns 'nan'
typeFilter(1) // returns 'number'
typeFilter('1') // returns 'string'
typeFilter(false) // returns 'boolean'
typeFilter(Symbol()) // returns 'symbol'
typeFilter(() => {}) // returns 'function'
typeFilter([]) // returns 'array'
typeFilter({}) // returns 'object'
typeFilter(Object.create(null)) // returns 'object'
typeFilter(new class {}) // returns 'class'
typeFilter(new Map()) // returns 'class'
typeFilter() // returns 'undefined'

handler

If the second argument of typeFilter is a function then it will be used as a handler.

Any handler gets 2 arguments: value and options.

value equals the first argument of typeFilter.

const handler = value => value + 1
typeFilter(1, handler) // returns 2

options.type equals what typeFilter returns for current value (see get type)

const type = (value, {type}) => value + ': ' + type
typeFilter(1, type) // returns '1: number'
typeFilter('1', type) // returns '1: string'

options.className equals empty string for all types except for class.
If the type equals class then options.className contains name of class.

const classType = (value, {type, className}) => {
  return value + ': ' + type + (className && '(' + className + ')')
}
typeFilter(1, classType) // returns '1: number'
typeFilter({}, classType) // returns '[object Object]: object'
typeFilter(new Map(), classType) // returns '[object Object]: class(Map)'
typeFilter(new class MyClass {}, classType) // returns '[object Object]: class(MyClass)'

handlerList

If the second argument of typeFilter is an array then this argument is handlerList.

handlerList can contain handler, handlerList or typeHandler.

const square = value => value * value
const addOne = value => value + 1
typeFilter(1, [addOne, square]) // returns 4
typeFilter(2, [square, addOne]) // returns 5
typeFilter(1, [addOne, [square, square]]) // returns 16

typeHandler

If the second argument of typeFilter is an object then this argument is typeHandler.

keys of typeHandler equals type or class name of value.
values of typeHandler can contain handler, handlerList or typeHandler.
if a typeHandler does not contain key which equals current value type or class name then typeFilter returns this value.

const noNumber = {
  number: () => {}
}
typeFilter(1, noNumber) // returns undefined
typeFilter('2', noNumber) // returns '2'

const noMap = {
  Map: () => {}
}
typeFilter(new Map(), noMap) // returns undefined
typeFilter(new Set(), noMap) // returns instance of Set

other in typeHandler

you may use other key of typeHandler to handle other types

const onlyNumber = {
  number: value => value,
  other: () => {}
}
typeFilter(1, onlyNumber) // returns 1
typeFilter('2', onlyNumber) // returns undefined

once

handler and typeHandler run only one handle but handlerList runs each handler inside it and each handler gets value which equals result of previous handler. to have result of the first handler in handlerList which returns needed result you may use once.

if the third argument (or once key of the third argument) equals true or function then each handler gets original value.

if the third argument (or once key of the third argument) equals true the typeFilter returns a result of the first handler which returns some equals true (1, true, {}, [], ...).

import {yes, no, off, type} from 'type-filter' // default handlers

typeFilter(1, [no, off, type, yes])
// 1 > [no] > undefined > [off] > false > [type] > 'boolean' > [yes] > 'boolean'
typeFilter(1, [no, off, type, yes], true)
// 1 > [no] > undefined
// 1 > [off] > false
// 1 > [type] > 'number'
typeFilter(1, [no, off, yes, type], true)
// 1 > [no] > undefined
// 1 > [off] > false
// 1 > [yes] > 1

if the third argument (or once key of the third argument) equals function the function gets result of handlerList's handler call and the typeFilter returns a result which pass the function test. to pass the test the function should returns some equals true (1, true, {}, [], ...).

const addOne = value => value + 1
const addTwo = value => value + 2
const addThree = value => value + 3

typeFilter(1, addOne, addTwo, addThree, value => value > 2) // returns 3 (the result of addTwo) // addOne and addTwo are called

if all handlers fail the test then typeFilter returns `undefined`
```javascript
typeFilter(1, [yes, on, off], () => false) // returns undefined

once works only for handlerList

typeFilter(0, yes, true) // returns 0
typeFilter(0, [yes], true) // returns undefined

options

you may use the third argument as options which can contain type, classType, once, rootHandler like the second argument of handler.
each handler get the same options object and you can share variables between handlers

const deep = (value, options) => {
  const deep = options.deep || 0
  options.deep = deep + 1
  return value
}
const deepHandler = {
  function: [deep, callRecheck],
  other: (value, {deep}) => deep || 0
}
typeFilter(1, deepHandler) // returns 0
typeFilter(() => 1, deepHandler) // returns 1
typeFilter(() => () => 1, deepHandler) // returns 2
typeFilter(() => () => 1, deepHandler, {deep: 1}) // returns 3

other arguments

you may provide any variables to all handlers

typeFilter(0, (value, options, ...args) => ([value, ...args]), undefined, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
// returns [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

default handlers

you may use default handlers from this library

no

always returns undefined

const noNumber = {
  number: no
}
typeFilter(1, noNumber) // returns undefined
typeFilter('2', noNumber) // returns '2'

yes

always returns value

const onlyNumber = {
  number: yes,
  other: no
}
typeFilter(1, onlyNumber) // returns 1
typeFilter('2', onlyNumber) // returns undefined

on, off

on always returns true
off always returns false

const isNumber = {
  number: on,
  other: off
}
typeFilter(1, isNumber) // returns true
typeFilter('2', isNumber) // returns false

type

type always returns type of value

typeFilter('2', type) // returns 'string'

typeClass

typeClass returns type of value or className for type equals class

typeFilter(new Map(), typeClass) // returns 'Map'
typeFilter({}, typeClass) // returns 'object'

call

call always returns result of value call

typeFilter(() => 1, call) // returns 1

call.args

args can provide arguments to function

typeFilter(x => x, call.args(1)) // returns 1

recheck

recheck is rechecking value like this type filter gets value of handler

const isNumberHandler = {
  function: [call, recheck],
  number: () => 'this is number',
  other: () => 'this is not number'
}
typeFilter(1, isNumberHandler) // returns 'this is number'
typeFilter('1', isNumberHandler) // returns 'this is not number'
typeFilter(() => 1, isNumberHandler) // returns 'this is number'
typeFilter(() => '1', isNumberHandler) // returns 'this is not number'
typeFilter(() => () => 1, isNumberHandler) // returns 'this is number'

be careful, recheck can create an infinite loop

typeFilter(1, recheck)

callRecheck

callRecheck is combine of call and recheck callRecheck contains args property like call handler

const isNumberHandler = {
  function: callRecheck,
  number: () => 'this is number',
  other: () => 'this is not number'
}
typeFilter(() => 1, isNumberHandler) // returns 'this is number'

error

error runs exception

typeFilter(1, error('Text')) // runs throw Error('Text')

you may use one of default variable (value, type, className) inside text of error's argument

// runs throw Error('value: 1, type: number, className: ')
typeFilter(1, error('value: {value}, type: {type}, className: {className}'))

also you may use own properties

typeFilter(1, error('error: {custom}', {
  custom: 'custom value'
})) // 'error: custom value'

if the custom value is a function it will be runs

typeFilter(1, error('error: {custom}', {
  custom: () => 'custom value'
})) // 'error: custom value'

this custom property gets value, type, className as a handler

typeFilter(1, error('error: {custom}', {
  custom: (value, {type, className}) => `value: ${value}, type: ${type}, className: ${className}`
})) // runs throw Error('error: value: 1, type: number, className: ')

map

map uses a handler for each item of it like map of an array

typeFilter([
  () => 0,
  () => 1,
  () => 2
], map(call)) // returns [0, 1, 2]

handlerList also works

typeFilter([
  () => 0,
  () => 1,
  () => 2
], map([call, v => ++v])) // returns [1, 2, 3]

and of course typeHandler

typeFilter([
  () => 0,
  1,
  '2',
  () => '2'
], map({
  function: callRecheck,
  number: yes,
  other: off
})) // returns [0, 1, false, false]

handler

handler like bind method for a function but you may set up handler as default and use value later

const isNumber = typeFilter({
  number: on,
  other: off
}, handler)
isNumber(1) // returns true
isNumber('1') // returns false

you may use the handler anywhere like other handlers

const getFilter = value => typeFilter(value, {
  array: handler,
  function: handler,
  object: handler,
  other: error('handler has wrong type which equals {type}')
})
const isNumber = getFilter({
  number: on,
  other: off
})
isNumber(1) // true
isNumber('1') // false
getFilter(1) // error: handler has wrong type which equals number
