@mitchallen/playing-card-suit

An enum-like object for representing the suits in a playing card deck.

Installation

You must use npm 2.7.0 or higher because of the scoped package name.

$ npm init
$ npm install @mitchallen/playing-card-suit --save

Usage

This module returns an object that has four frozen and unique properties that can be used to represent playing card suits:

• HEART
• DIAMOND
• SPADE
• CLUB

You can use them to define the suit of each card in a deck.

var SUIT = require("@mitchallen/playing-card-suit");

card[0].suit = SUIT.HEART;
card[1].suit = SUIT.DIAMOND;
card[2].suit = SUIT.SPADE;
card[3].suit = SUIT.CLUB;

.isSuit(value)

You can test if a value is a valid suit by passing it to the isSuit method:

if( SUIT.isSuit(card.suit) ) { ... }

.isRed(value)

You can test if a value is a red playing card (HEART or DIAMOND) by passing it to the isRed method:

if( SUIT.isRed(card.suit) ) { ... }

.isBlack(value)

You can test if a value is a black playing card (SPADE or CLUB) by passing it to the isBlack method:

if( SUIT.isBlack(card.suit) ) { ... }

.isFirst(value)

For looping you can test to see if a suit is the first in the list:

while( ! SUIT.isFirst(card.suit) ) { ... }

.isLast(value)

For looping you can test to see if a suit is the last in the list:

while( ! SUIT.isLast(card.suit) ) { ... }

.first

For looping you can retrieve the first (lowest) value for the suits in the list.

for( i = SUIT.first; ... ) { ... }

For looping you can retrieve the last (higheet) value for the suits in the list.

for( i = SUIT.first; i <= SUIT.last, i++ ) { ... }

Testing

To test, go to the root folder and type (sans $):

$ npm test
