Lotide

A mini clone of the Lodash library.

Purpose

BEWARE: This library was published for learning purposes. It is not intended for use in production-grade software.

This project was created and published by me as part of my learnings at Lighthouse Labs.

Usage

Install it:

npm install @abhiram-satha/lotide

Require it:

const _ = require('@abhiram-satha/lotide');

Call it:

const results = _.tail([1, 2, 3]) // => [2, 3]

Documentation

The following functions are currently implemented:

• head(array): returns the first element of an array
• tail(array): returns all the elements after the first element
• middle(array): returns the elements located in the middle of an array
• eqArrays(array1, array2): returns true is the elements of 2 arrays are equal and returns false if opposite
• assertEqual(actual, expected): compares 2 elements and returns true if they are equal and false if they are not
• assertArraysEqual(array1, array2): returns true is the elements of 2 arrays are equal and returns false if opposite
• flatten(array): Flattens out array of arrays into a single array
• countOnly(allItems, itemsToCount): counts only the true items listed in the second argument
• findKeyByValue(object, value): Returns the key for the provided value within an object
• takeUntil(array, callback): Splices an array until until the criteria set by callback function is met
• countLetters(sentence): Provides an object with the characters and the amount of times the characters appeared in the sentence
• without(source, itemsToRemove): Takes two arrays as an argument, and returns the unique items from the first array argument
• eqObjects(object1, object2): compares two objects, and returns true if the key-values match, and false is they do not
• findKey(object, callback): Returns the first key based on the callback function matches the value in an object
• letterPositions(sentence): provides an object of arrays, listing the index of the characters based in the function argument
• map(array, callback): produces a new array based on the parameters set in the callback function, based as a second parameter
