extra-object

A collection of methods for working with Objects.
📦 Node.js, 🌐 Web, 📜 Files, 📰 Docs, 📘 Wiki.

An Object is a collection of properties (entries), each with a name (key) and a value. These properties can be values of any data type, including primitive data types like strings and numbers, as well as more complex data types like other objects. Objects in JavaScript are very similar to objects in other programming languages. They are used to store and organize data, and they can be manipulated and accessed using a variety of built-in methods and operators.

One of the quirks of objects is that they are dynamic, which means that properties can be added, removed, and modified at any time. This can be useful for some types of programming, but it can also make it difficult to keep track of an object's properties and values. Another quirk of JavaScript objects is that they are not strongly typed. This means that the same property can hold values of different data types, and the type of a property's value can change over time. This can make it difficult to ensure the correctness of your code, and it can lead to runtime errors if you are not careful. Despite these quirks, objects are a powerful and versatile tool for organizing and manipulating data in your code. They are an essential part of any program, and they are used in a wide range of applications.

This package includes common set functions related to querying about objects, generating them, comparing one with another, finding their size, adding and removing entries, obtaining its characteristics, getting a part of it, getting subset entries in it, finding an entry in it, performing functional operations, manipulating it in various ways, combining together objects or its entries, of performing set operations upon it.

All functions except from*() take object as 1st parameter. Methods like swap() are pure and do not modify the object itself, while methods like swap$() do modify (update) the object itself.

Stability: Experimental.


const object = require('extra-object');
// import * as object from "extra-object";
// import * as object from "https://unpkg.com/extra-object/index.mjs"; (deno)

var x = {a: 1, b: 2, c: 3, d: 4};
object.swap(x, 'a', 'b');
// → { a: 2, b: 1, c: 3, d: 4 }

var x = {a: 1, b: 2, c: 3, d: 4};
var y = {b: 20, c: 30, e: 50};
object.intersection(x, y);
// → { b: 2, c: 3 }

var x = {a: 1, b: 2, c: 3, d: -2};
object.searchAll(x, v => Math.abs(v) === 2);
// → [ 'b', 'd' ]

var x = {a: 1, b: 2, c: 3};
[...object.subsets(x)];
// → [
// → {},
// → { a: 1 },
// → { b: 2 },
// → { a: 1, b: 2 },
// → { c: 3 },
// → { a: 1, c: 3 },
// → { b: 2, c: 3 },
// → { a: 1, b: 2, c: 3 }
// → ]
