Autobot

A member of the EIMS family of utilties

Define a set of transform functions that consume properties on an imcoming object and transform their keys/values however you like, ultimately compiling a new object coming out the other end.

Usage Example

let autobot = new AutoBot()

// lowercase key named id
autobot.registerTransform('Id', renameId)

function renameId (obj, key, val) {
    return {
        [key.toLowerCase()]: val
    }
}

// map integer status codes to status strings
autobot.registerTransform('StatusCode', mapStatuses)

function mapStatuses (obj, key, val) {
    const statusMap = {
        1: 'burning',
        2: 'serisously its burning',
        3: 'on fire holy crap',
        4: 'ash'
    }

    return {
        'status': statusMap[val] || 'no status'
    }
}

const items = [
    { 'Id': 'aodfoauisdofu', status: 4 },
    { 'Id': 'dkfasdfu', status: 2 }
]

let newItems = items.map(autobot.transform)
