Configurable Field Set

Functions to determine column visibility and requiredness.

Usage

isVisible(Object)(Object)(String) => Boolean

A function for checking if a column is visible or not. Returns true if the item cannot be found.

isVisible = (
    // defines frontend names to match to the corresponding
    // backend configurable_field_set field names
    nameMapObj: { someName: 'field_set_name' },
  ) => (
    // the object of configurable_field_set field names
    sourceOfValuesObj: { field_set_name: { visible: Boolean } },
  ) => (
    'someName'
  ) =>
  returns Boolean

isRequired(Object)(Object)(String) => Boolean

A function for checking if a column is required or not. Returns false if the item cannot be found.

isRequired = (
    // defines frontend names to match to the corresponding
    // backend configurable_field_set field names
    nameMapObj: { someName: 'field_set_name' },
  ) => (
    // the object of configurable_field_set field names
    sourceOfValuesObj: { field_set_name: { required: Boolean } },
  ) => (
    'someName'
  ) =>
  returns Boolean

filterVisibleColumns(Object)(Object)(Array, String) => Array

A function for filtering an array of columns to only visible columns.

filterVisibleColumns = (
    // defines frontend names to match the corresponding
    // backend configurable_field_set field names
    nameMapObj: { someName: 'field_set_name' },
  ) => (
    // the object of configurable_field_set field names
    sourceOfValuesObj: { field_set_name: { visible: Boolean } },
  ) => (
    // some arbitrary array of columns
    columnsArr = [{ [colKey]: 'someName' }],
    colKey: 'key'  // defaults to 'key'
  ) =>
  returns []

aggregateVisibility(Array) => Object

A function that takes in an array of CFS fields objects and returns a new set of fields where the visibility of each field is set to true if ANY of the input fieldsets have that field set to "visible: true", otherwise set to false.

aggregateVisibility = (
    [
      { name: { visible: true }, status: { visible: true }, contact: { visible: false }},
      { name: { visible: true }, status: { visible: false }, contact: { visible: false }},
    ],
  ) =>
  returns {} // { name: { visible: true }, status: { visible: true }, contact: { visible: false } }

Change Log

0.3.2

• Added aggregateVisibility() method

0.3.0

• Breaking The second argument to the second function, 'visible', has been removed from isVisible()(undefined, 'visible')(). This is in order to determine keys sooner
• Breaking The second argument to the first function, true, has been removed from isVisible(undefined, true)()(). This is in order to determine defaults for different keys sooner
• Breaking The second argument to the second function, true, has been removed from filterVisibleColumns()(undefined, true)(). This is in order to determine defaults for different keys sooner
• added isRequired

0.2.1

• Breaking The names of functions switched. visibleColumns is now filterVisibleColumns, already knowing it's filter func. And filterVisibleColumns is now visibleColumns, needing a filter func
• added isVisible function for non array checks

0.2.0

• unpublished

0.1.1

• Added false/empty visibleObj check to avoid filter call

0.1.0

• Initial commit
