API

util.extend(target, ...sources)

Extend target with each object in sources, returning target. If target is undefined, create a blank object. Later objects in sources overwrite keys in prior sources or target.

util.pushAll(target, items)

Calls Array#push with Function.apply to unpack a single input array into multiple arguments.

@param {Array} target: the array to extend with new items
@param {Array} items: array of new items

util.flatten(arrays)

Uses Array#concat with Function.apply to unpack the given array into a bunch of arrays, combining them all into a newly created array. Not recursive.

util.clone(obj)

Deep-copy a plain object or array. There is no special handling for other types of objects; it simply copies everything else by reference.

util.toString(obj)

Expose the standard util's objectToString internal function. Simply calls Object.prototype.toString.call(obj).

util.toString(null) #=> '[object Null]'
util.toString(undefined) #=> '[object Undefined]'
util.toString([1, 2, 3]) #=> '[object Array]'
util.toString({name: 'Chris'}) #=> '[object Object]'
util.toString(new Date()) #=> '[object Date]'
util.toString(100) #=> '[object Number]'
util.toString(true) #=> '[object Boolean]'
util.toString(JSON.parse) #=> '[object Function]'
