This library is a collection of helpful methods and monkey patches for Arrays, Objects, Numbers, and Strings in Javascript. Start writing your Javascript like you write your Ruby code!
Works in the Browser and in NodeJS.

Note: Only import/require the patches once at the beginning of your page or app start otherwise you will get warnings about redefining methods.

These methods are available on all types that inherit from Object which is almost everything.
var cb = function(){ };
var str = "";
var array = [];
str.equals(array); // returns bool
str.isBlank(); // returns bool
// collections are blank if length == 0
str.isPresent(); // return bool
// collections are present if length > 0
array.presence(); // returns self or false
// same thing as: array.isPresent() ? array : false;
cb.simpleType(); // return str
// possible return values are 'Object','Array','String','Boolean','Number','Function','Other'
// return value or false
str.try('length'); // => 0
array.try('sort'); // => []
str.try('badMethod').try('anotherBadMethod'); // => false
var array = [];
var cb = function(val, i){ };
array.any(cb=null) // returns bool
array.all(cb=null) // returns bool
array.compact(badValues=[null, undefined, '']) // returns array, accepts array or splat arguments
array.dig(*args) // returns value, accepts splat arguments or array
array.each(function(val, i){ })
array.empty() // return bool
array.equals(array) // returns bool
array.excludes(val, fromIndex=0) // returns bool
array.find(cb_or_val) // returns value, undefined if not found
array.findIndex(cb_or_val) // returns integer, undefined if not found
array.first() // returns value
array.flatten() // returns array
array.includes(val, fromIndex=0) // returns bool
array.inGroupsOf(int, fillWith=false) // returns nested array
array.groupBy(cb) // returns nested array
array.last // returns value
array.max(cb=null) // returns value
array.maxBy(cb=null) // returns value
array.min(cb=null) // returns value
array.minBy(cb=null) // returns value
array.reject(cb) // reutrns array
array.select(cb) // returns array
array.tap(cb); // returns array
// this is an each method that returns the original array after its done
array.smartIncludes(val, fromIndex=0) // returns bool
// smart meaning that it uses `equals` method to compare if item is Array or Object
array.smartExcludes(val, fromIndex=0) // returns bool
// smart meaning that it uses `equals` method to compare if item is Array or Object
array.sum(cb=null) // returns number
array.uniq(cb=null) // returns array
/* CLASS METHODS - Not available in Typescript */
Array.range(startNumber, endNumber, step=1) // returns array
var obj = {};
// Monkey-patching Object is very dangerous, so we only patch it with one method
obj = obj.rearmed();
var cb = function(key, val){ };
obj.all(cb=null) // returns bool
obj.any(cb=null) // returns bool
obj.compact(badValues=[null, undefined, '']) // returns object, accepts array or splat arguments
obj.dig(*args) // returns object, accepts splat arguments or array
obj.each(cb);
obj.empty() // returns bool
obj.equals(obj) // returns bool
obj.except(*keys) // returns object, accepts keys as splat arguments or an array
obj.hasKey() // returns bool
obj.hasValue() // returns bool
obj.join(cb, delimiter=', ') // returns string
obj.keys() // returns array
obj.merge(obj) // returns object
obj.only(*keys) // returns object, accepts keys as splat arguments or an array
obj.reject(cb) // returns object
obj.select(cb) // returns object, known to cause error with React select elements
obj.values() // returns array
When requiring Object patches individually you must first require object/rearmed
. Example:
require('rearmed-js/object/rearmed');
require('rearmed-js/object/select');
require('rearmed-js/object/reject');
The following methods are used under the hood to provide patches to Object. I have exposed these methods publicly so that you can add your own custom methods to rearmed()
objects. These methods are available on Object after requiring either of these: rearmed-js/object/rearmed
or rearmed-js
Object.rearmed.add({
myMethodName: function(){
// add new method to rearmed() objects
}
);
Object.rearmed.remove(
myMethodName: function(){
// remove method from rearmed() objects
}
);
var num = 8.5;
num.ceil() // returns number
num.floor() // returns number
num.isDecimal() // returns bool
num.isEven() // returns bool
num.isInteger() // returns bool
num.isOdd() // returns bool
num.round() // returns number
var str = 'Hello World':
str.capitalize() // returns string
str.caseCmp(str) // returns bool
str.chars() // returns array
str.downcase() // returns string
str.empty() // returns bool
str.endsWith(val) // returns bool
str.excludes(val, fromIndex=0) // returns bool
str.gsub(str, toStr) // returns string
str.includes(val, fromIndex=0) // returns bool
str.lstrip() // returns string
str.reverse() // returns string
str.rstrip() // returns string
str.startsWith(val) // returns bool
str.strip() // returns string
str.sub(str, toStr) // returns string
// Warning: doesn't warn when it overwrites the original sub method as it has been removed from the JS standard.
str.titleize(onlyFirstLetters=true) // returns string
str.toBool() // returns bool
str.upcase() // returns string
- Browser support is IE 9+ and everything else. Use the files in the
dist
folder if you need pre-minified files. - Array
find
doesnt work properly in old NodeJS 0.x and iojs. - String
empty
doesnt work properly in old NodeJS 0.x. - Typescript is supported however it does not support Class methods because its not possible to define static methods on existing interfaces such as Array. At this time the only effected method is
Array.range
- I recommend discussing your intentions via an issue before making a PR because there are very concious design choices that must go into this library.
- Only edit js files from
src/
andtest/
folders. - Use the gulp task:
gulp
to run the build after making your changes. - PR's should include tests. Testing these methods are simple & easy, check the test folder to see how it works.
