Date & Time

  • pretty-ms - Convert milliseconds to a human readable string: 1337000000 → 15d 11h 23m 20s.
  • hirestime - A wrapper around the built-in high resolution timer which simplifies the calculation of timestamps.
  • periods - Defined time-periods constants for Javascript, in milliseconds.
  • fecha - Javascript Date formatting and parsing.
  • akamai-time-reference - Get reference time using Akamai's time reference service.
  • timeago.js - A tiny(~1.7kb) library used to format date with *** time ago statement.
  • count-days-in-month - Get the number of days in a given month.
  • time-stamp - Get a formatted timestamp.

Object

  • map-obj - Map object keys and values into a new object.
  • filter-obj - Filter object keys and values into a new object.
  • object-values - Get the values of an object.
  • object-pairs - Turn an object into list of [key, value] pairs for mapping, iterating or other purposes.
  • zipmap - Returns a map with the keys mapped to the corresponding vals. zipmap also accepts a single value of objects or pairs.
  • just-pluck - Pluck without the madness.
  • deep-equal - Node's assert.deepEqual() algorithm as a standalone module.
  • deep-assign - Recursive Object.assign().
  • set-value - Create nested values and any intermediaries dot notation ('a.b.c') paths.
  • get-value - Use property paths (a.b.c) to get a nested value from an object.
  • has-value - Returns true if a value exists, false if empty. Works with deeply nested values using dot notation ('a.b.c') paths.
  • has-key-deep - Deep-search objects for keys. Keys can be searched by providing an array of keys, or using a dot-notiation.
  • flatkeys - Flatten object key hierarchies into a list of strings using a custom separator.
  • flatten-obj - Converts an object literal with deeply nested nodes to a simple key/value object.
  • is-empty-object - Check if an object is empty.
  • stringify-object - Stringify an object/array like JSON.stringify just without all the double-quotes.
  • sorted-object - Returns a copy of an object with its keys sorted.
  • static-props - Defines static object attributes using Object.defineProperties
  • missing-deep-keys - Returns an array of keys from first object that are missing in second.
  • has-own-property - Check if an object has a local property.
  • merge-objects - Deep-merge two objects. Arrays that are values of the same object key get concatenated.
  • deep-object-diff - Deep diff two JavaScript Objects while preserving the data structure. Including nested structures of Arrays and Objects.
