Random Utilities

• arc-is: Is a simple type checker that honors inheritence, checks most native types properly, and has two modes to check between strict types vs soft types. To use simply: is(val) === 'array'
• arc-check: Is a complex inclusion/exclusion check.
• arc-events: A relatively standard on/emit events model, with some additional features ie. .once, .catchAll as well as a mixin to turn any object into an even emitter.
• arc-router: Is a very thin functional router, for complex URL/Path mapping. It takes a map of urls or paths, and is able to take an evaluation string, and map it to a match while also pulling appropriate variables from the path.
• arc-hash: Provides a very simple but consistent approach to generating md5 and sha256 hashes for both scalar and non-scalar types in javascript (objects and arrays in particular).
• arc-scheduler: A scheduler and task manager for recurrent tasks. Supports both event based reaction (ie. NEW_HOUR / NEW_DAY / NEW_WEEK) as well as a fully managed task-scheduling suite (ie. Fire a job on the first Monday of every month at 8:00am)

Type Utilities

• arc-array: Is a native array wrapper with a number of convenience methods such as: .shuffle, .rand, .pMap (asynchronous mapping)
• arc-object: Is a native object wrapper with convenience methods such as .copy (which performs a deep copy), .freeze (make it immutable), and some array like functions.
• arc-reg-exp: Is a native object wrapper around RegExp that exposes some convenience methods, such as .matchAll, .matchAndReplace, .replaceCallback
• arc-date: Is a very thin Date formatting utility

Example Usage

const {is,ArcRouter,ArcEvents} = require('arc-lib');

//Pretend we're useful useful
const SomeViewController = {};

//Use ArcEvents to mixin events on the object
ArcEvents.mixin(SomeViewController);

//Bind an event
SomeViewController.on('validPath',(_path,_id)=>{
    console.log(_path,_id);
});

//Setup a functional router
const SomeRouter = new ArcRouter({
    '/some/**path[/]/#id':'validPath'
});

//Travel a path
const routeData = SomeRouter.travel('/some/resource/path/75');

//We should match
if(routeData.match){
    //Path in the resolved path and id from the path
    SomeViewController.emit(routeData.match,[routeData.path,routeData.id]);
}

//Will console.log('resource/path',75) by trigger the validPath event
