Deducer

This project is aimed at providing a simple but effective solution for deducing/transforming/reshaping data.

A deduction is described as the following signature { source: Path, desstination?: Path, reducers?: Function[]], The deduce function will take an input object and an array of deductions, each deduction will be responsible for cosuming parts of the input in order to produce a new value in the output.

Under Development

This library is currently under development as is not consisdered stable, if you are interested in supporting this project there are several key areas that require work before a stable version is available

• [ ] Finalisation of the API
• [ ] Improved typescript support
• [ ] Documentation
• [ ] Richer and more diverse tests suite.

Install

npm install --save deducer

Simple Example:

import { deduce, Deduction } from "deducer"

const input = { columnA: 'valueB' };
const deductions: Deduction[] = [
    { source: 'columnA', destination: 'columnB' }
]
const result = deduce(input, deductions)
// { columbB: 'valueB' }

Array Example:

import { deduce, Deduction } from "deducer"

const input = ['some', 'values'];
const deductions: Deduction[] = [
    { source: 0, destination: 'zero' }
    { source: 1, destination: 'one' }
]
const result = deduce(input, deductions)
// { zero: 'some', one: 'values' }

Deductions Example:

import { deduce, Deduction } from "deducer"

const input = { title: "Mr", firstName: "John", lastName: "Doe" };
const deductions: Deduction[] = [
    {
        source: 'title',
        destination: 'user.title'
    },
    {
        source: 'firstName',
        destination: 'user.firstName'
    },
    {
        source: 'lastName',
        destination: 'user.lastName'
    },
    {
        source: ["title", "firstName", "lastName"],
        destination: 'user.fullName',
        reducers: [
            ([title, firstName, lastName]) => `${title} ${firstName} ${lastName}`
        ]
    },
]
const result = deduce(input, deductions)
// { user: { title: "Mr", firstName: "John", lastName: "Doe", fullName: "Mr John Doe"  } }
