Lotide

Lotide is a project inspired by the [Lodash](https://lodash.com) library.  

A small clone that contains a selection of similar functions created to operate on data, namely Objects and Arrays.  

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 @jcloghesy/lotide`

Require it:

   `const _ = require('@jcloghesy/lotide');`

Call it:

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

Documentation

The following functions are currently implemented:

• assertEqual: a function that takes in 2 values and returns true if they are equal and false otherwise
• head: a function that takes in an array and returns the first element in the array
• tail: a function that takes in an array and returns everything except the first element of the array
• eqArrays:a function that takes in 2 arrays and returns true if the arrays are equal and false otherwise
• assertArraysEqual: a function that takes in 2 arrays and returns true if they are equal and false otherwise
• without: a function that takes in a source array and an itemsToRemove arrays and returns items not in the itemsToRemove
• flatten: a function that takes in an array that may have nested arrays as elements and returns a flattened version of the array
• middle:a function that takes in an array and returns middle most element of the array
• countOnly: a function that takes in a collection of items and returns a specific subset of those items
• countLetters: a function that takes in a sentence and returns a count of each of the letters in the sentence
• letterPositions: a function that takes in a string and returns all indices of letter positions in the string
• findKeyByValue: a function that takes in an object and a value and returns the first key that corresponds to that value
• eqObjects: a function that takes in 2 objects and return true if they are equal and false otherwise
• assertObjectsEqual: a function that takes in 2 objects and returns true if they are equal and false otherwise
• map: a function that takes in an array and a callback and returns a new array based on the callback's criteria
• takeUntil: a function that takes in an array and callback and returns a slice of the array based on the callback's criteria
• findKey: a function that takes in an object and callback and returns the first key that meets the criteria specified in callback
