Installation

npm install elegant-object --save

Usage

var EO = require('elegant-object');

var schema = {
	// simple rule
	a: "clean",
	// multiple rules separated by |
	b: "trim|capitalize",
	// nested declaration
	c: {
		d: "toBoolean"
	},
	// alternative declaration
	"f.g": "toNumber"
};

var cleaner = EO();

var myObject = {
	a: '  my string ',
	b: '  my other   string ',
	c: { d: 'true' },
	f: { g: '19' }
};

cleaner.clean(myObject, schema)
.then(function(newObj) {
	console.log(newObj);
})
.catch(function(err) {
	// error in rule or in execution
});

// newObj = {
// 	  a: 'my string',
//	  b: 'My other string',
//	  c: { d: true },
//	  f:  { g : 19 }
//  };

API

constructor()

Returns a cleaner instance

Params

schema is required

schema is an object that will apply rules on leaf node.

var EO = require('elegant-object');

var userCleaning = EO();

clean(object, [schema])

Return a promise of a cleaned object

Promise is rejected if one rule is unknown

Params

object is required schema is optional but the key of cleaning

var EO = require('elegant-object');

var schema = {
	username: 'clean|toLowerCase',
	name: {
	    // trim and
		first: 'clean|capitalize',
		last: 'clean|capitalize'
	}
};

var userCleaning = EO();

var obj = {
	username: ' ABcDe ',
	name: {
		first: ' roger  ',
		last: 'arthur'
	}
};

userCleaning.clean(obj, schema)
.then(function(cleanedObj) {
  // save to db :)
});

Rejection exemple

var EO = require('elegant-object');

var schema = {
	username: 'clean|unknown',
};

var userCleaning = EO();

var obj = {
	username: ' ABcDe ',
};

userCleaning.clean(obj, schema)
.then(function(cleanedObj) {
  // save to db :)
})
.catch(function(err) {
	// err.message => error on field `username`: unknown rule `unknown`: field cleaning error
});
