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 @mcdmtomlinson/lotide

Require it:

const _ = require('mcdmtomlinson/lotide');

Call it:

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

Documentation

The following functions are currently implemented:

• assertArraysEqual(arr1, arr2): Will log a message indicating if arr1 is equivalent to arr2
• assertEqual(actual, expected): Will log a message indicating if actual is equivalent to expected - used to test the output of functions and their expected value(s)
• assertObjectsEqual(actual, expected): Will log a message indicating if the object in actual is equivalent to the object in expected - use to test output of functions and their expected object value(s)
• countLetters(str): Will return an object with each letter provided in str and the number of times it appears in that string
• countOnly(allitems, itemsToCount`): Will return an object with a count of each name in object itemsToCount and the amount of times it appears in allitems
• eqArrays(arr1, arr2): Will evaluate if arr1 is equal to arr2 and return a boolean
• eqObject(object1, object2): Will evaluate if object1 is equal to object2 and return a boolean
• findKey(obj, callback): Will loop through keys in an object until the condition indicated in callback is satisfied. If no key is found, undefined is returned
• findKeyByValue(obj, value): Goes through all the keys in an object and returns the first key that contains the value provided
• flatten(arr): Will evaluate arr, looping through one level of nested array, and will return a new array with no nested arrays
• head(arr): Will return the first element in an array
• letterPositions(str): Will return an object with a count of how many times each letter appears in a string
• map(arr, callback): Imitates the .map() method for arrays in JS
• middle(arr): Will return the middle-most value(s) in an array whose length is above 2
• tail(arr): Returns all elements of an array except the first element in cases where arr.length is above 2
• takeUntil(arr, func): Collects items in an array until the func condition is meant, at which point, it will return all the values preceding that value
• without(sourceArr, itemsToRemove): Will return the elements in sourceArr, not including those in itemsToRemove
