JavaScript utilities and other helper methods for intake form applications.
This module was created out of a need to access a global library of JavaScript helper functions targeted at assisting applications built around intake forms. This module includes several utilities to make building intake form applications easier, and provide consistency around how data is formatted.
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
| addLeadingZeros | Pads a number or string with zeros on the left |
| addYearsToDate | Adds years to a date |
| formatSSN | Formats a string of numbers as XXX-XX-XXXX |
| getDateDiff | Determines the numerical difference between two dates for a specific interval |
| isEmptyOrUndefined | Determines if an object is empty, null, or undefined |
| isNumeric | Determines if a string can be interpreted as numeirc |
| toBoolean | Returns true or false if given true/1 or false/0 as input regardless of type |
| toTitleCase | Capitalizes the first character of each word in a string |
| Example | Returns |
|---|---|
intake.addLeadingZeros(1, 4) |
"0001" |
intake.addYearsToDate('9/1/2015', 10) |
"Mon Sep 01 2025 00:00:00 GMT-0700 (Pacific Daylight Time)" |
intake.formatSSN('123456789') |
"123-45-6789" |
intake.getDateDiff('1/1/2015', '1/2/2015', 'days') |
1 |
intake.isEmptyOrUndefined('') |
true |
intake.isNumeric('ABC') |
false |
intake.toBoolean('1') |
true |
