define-constants
Gets rid of repeating stuff when declaring self-defined constants.
Instead of typing things twice:
const MY_CONSTANT = "MY_COSNTANT" // note a mistype
const MY_FAVOURITE_CONSTANT = "MY_FAVOURITE_CONSTANT"
const MY_CONSTANT_FOR_FUN = "MY_CONSTANT_FOR_FUN"
You can type things once:
import defineConstants from 'define-constants'
const {
MY_CONSTANT,
MY_FAVOURITE_CONSTANT,
MY_CONSTANT_FOR_FUN,
} = defineConstants()
// MY_CONSTANT === "MY_CONSTANT"
// MY_FAVOURITE_CONSTANT === "MY_FAVOURITE_CONSTANT"
// MY_CONSTANT_FOR_FUN === "MY_CONSTANT_FOR_FUN"
and get them correct.
Anyway your console.log(MY_VARIABLE)
will show the right text and you will never get frustrated searching for a mistyped constant.
You can also add some namespace to your constants:
const {
MY_NAMESPACE,
} = defineConstants()
const {
MY_CONSTANT,
MY_FAVOURITE_CONSTANT,
MY_CONSTANT_FOR_FUN,
} = defineConstants(MY_NAMESPACE)
// MY_CONSTANT === "MY_NAMESPACE.MY_CONSTANT"
// MY_FAVOURITE_CONSTANT === "MY_NAMESPACE.MY_FAVOURITE_CONSTANT"
// MY_CONSTANT_FOR_FUN === "MY_NAMESPACE.MY_CONSTANT_FOR_FUN"
Tweak namespace delimiter if you wish:
const {
MY_CONSTANT,
MY_FAVOURITE_CONSTANT,
MY_CONSTANT_FOR_FUN,
} = defineConstants("MY_NAMESPACE", "/")
// MY_CONSTANT === "MY_NAMESPACE/MY_CONSTANT"
// MY_FAVOURITE_CONSTANT === "MY_NAMESPACE/MY_FAVOURITE_CONSTANT"
// MY_CONSTANT_FOR_FUN === "MY_NAMESPACE/MY_CONSTANT_FOR_FUN"
