Object Mapper
For those not so common situations where you just want to know the composition of a complex object to analyze and probably recompose such object.
Install
npm install @universal-packages/object-mapper
Global methods
mapObject(subject: Object, [options, callback)
Will traverse an object recursively and will generate a record for every property in it describing it, or if a property is an object will map it as a object map as well. If the object mapper finds a loop in the hierarchy it will reference the previously processed object map for the object that creates the loop.
import { mapObject } from '@universal-packages/object-mapper'
const result = mapObject({ hola: 'hello' })
// > {
// > id: 0,
// > level: 0,
// > properties: { hola: { descriptor: undefined, propertyKey: 'hola', level: 0, type: 'string', value: 'hello' } },
// > type: 'object'
// > }
Options
ignoreInaccessible
boolean
default: true
Some properties in the prototype chain can't be accessed in any way, you can get an error of this event or just ignore those propertiesignoreLevelsBeyondMaxDepth
boolean
If a property is in a level beyond the max you can ignore it or get an error of the event.keyInspector
'simple' | 'prototypeChain'
default: simple
A simple key inspector willgetOwnPropertyNames
to get properties from the object, or you can opt to get all properties going all up the prototype chain, useful to get properties inherited in classes.maxDepth
number
Max level the recursive traversal can reachpropertyFilter
include
RegExp | string[]
include only matching property names.import { mapObject } from '@universal-packages/object-mapper' const options = { propertyFilter: { include: ['property1', 'property3'] } } const result = mapObject({ property1: '1', property2: '2', property3: '3' }, options) console.log(result) // > { properties: { property1: { ... }, property3: { ... } } }
exclude
RegExp | string[]
import { mapObject } from '@universal-packages/object-mapper' const options = { propertyFilter: { exclude: ['property1', 'property3'] } } const result = mapObject({ property1: '1', property2: '2', property3: '3' }, options) console.log(result) // > { properties: { property2: { ... } } }
Callback
Use a callback for every value visited to use it or modify it in any way in the original object.
import { mapObject } from '@universal-packages/object-mapper'
const result = mapObject({ hola: 'hello' }, null, (value: any): any => {
return 'other value post processing it'
})
console.log(result)
//> {
//> id: 0,
//> level: 0,
//> properties: { hola: { descriptor: undefined, propertyKey: 'hola', level: 0, type: 'string', value: 'other value post processing it' } },
//> type: 'object'
//> }
