common-constants
I find myself defining the same constants in project after project. Time to put a stop to that.
Installation
yarn add common-constantsOR
npm add --save common-constantsExports an object literal containing a set of common constants. Categories:
- date and time (constants.datetime)
- math (constants.math)
- default ports for various databases and servers (constants.defaultPorts),
- science (constants.science)
- common log levels and corresponding numeric values (constants.logLevels)
I am forgetful, so it was made to be extremely forgiving, with multiple variants of each constant name allowed. e.g. minInHour, minPerHour, minInHr, minPerHr, minutesPerHour, minutesPerHr, etc.).
Also, it's typescript friendly, because I love you guys.
Why?
Magic numbers are confusing. If you see an algorithm containing the number 60, what are you looking at exactly? Seconds per minute? Minutes per hour? Degrees in one sixth of a circle? Named constants get rid of the problem
Usage example
import { datetime } as DATETIME_CONST from 'common-constants';
console.log(DATETIME_CONST.daysPerMonth.jan); // => 31
console.log(DATETIME_CONST.daysPerCommonYear); // => 365
console.log(DATETIME_CONST.hrPerDay); // => 24Date and time values (constants.datetime)
// Leap year handler(technically not a constant, but it's commonly needed when date constants are required)
isLeap: (year: number | string) => booleanReturns true if the given year is a leap year, false if not
