Bound Native Methods

This library exports a collection of bound native virtual methods - static methods of JavaScript standard built-in objects in their bound form - so that they can be used together with the proposed bind operator.

Install

$ npm install bound-native-methods

Usage

import * from 'bound-native-methods';

// Or, be more specific and cut down the build size: //

import {assign, keys} from 'bound-native-methods/object';

0::isInteger();
// true

[3, 6, 9]::max()::is(9);
// true

{'2015-06-01T15:30:00.000Z': 300}::assign({'2015-07-01T15:30:00.000Z': 42})
                                 ::keys()
                                  .map(x => x::toUnixOffset())
                                 ::toJSON();
// [1433172600000,1435764600000]

API

Most static methods have been exported as is, but a few have been renamed or excluded to better fit the context:

Object

| Native Form | Bound Form | | ----------- | ---------- | | Object.getPrototypeOf() | ::getPrototype() | | Object.setPrototypeOf() | ::setPrototype() |

Symbol

| Native Form | Bound Form | | ----------- | ---------- | | Symbol.for() | ::toSymbol() [1] | | Symbol.keyFor() | ::key() |

Number

| Native Form | Bound Form | | ----------- | ---------- | | Number.parseFloat() | ::toFloat() [1] | | Number.parseInt() | ::toInt() [1] |

Math

| Native Form | Bound Form | | ----------- | ---------- | | Math.pow() [2] | × | | Math.random() | × |

Date

| Native Form | Bound Form | | ----------- | ---------- | | Date.UTC() | × | | Date.now() | × | | Date.parse() | ::toUnixOffset() [1] |

Array

| Native Form | Bound Form | | ----------- | ---------- | | Array.from() | × | | Array.of() | × |

ArrayBuffer

JSON

| Native Form | Bound Form | | ----------- | ---------- | | JSON.parse() | ::toObject() [1] | | JSON.stringify() | ::toJSON() [1] |

Notes:

1. Bound methods whose names start with "to..." are to be applied to strings (with the exception of ::toJSON() which can be applied to a variety of data types)
2. Please use the exponentiation operator ** instead
