hlputils

hlputils package on npmjs.com

Description

hlputils is a lightweight npm package that provides a set of utility functions for common tasks in JavaScript development. It aims to simplify your code and improve its readability and maintainability.

Installation

To install hlputils, run the following command in your terminal:

npm install hlputils

Usage

Import the functions from the package:

import { log, type, classType, objectProto, asyncjson } from 'hlputils';

Logging

Use the log function to log messages and return it's length. The function takes two parameters: the message and the type of the message. The type can be ‘log’, ‘error’, ‘warn’, or ‘table’. If no type is provided, it defaults to a general log message.

log('This is a log message'); // Output: This is a log message
log('This is an error message', 'error'); // Output: This is an error message

Type Checking

The type function returns the type of the passed value as a string.

type([]); // Output: "array"
type(null); // Output: "null"
type(class c {}); // Output: "class"

Class Type

The classType function returns the class type of an object.

classType(new Date()); // Output: "Date"

Object Prototype Enhancement

The objectProto function enhances the Object.prototype by adding static methods from the global Object.

objectProto();

const obj = { name: 'John', age: 30 };
const obj2 = { name: 'Jane', age: 25 };

obj.is(obj2); // Output: false
obj.hasOwnProperty('name'); // Output: true
Object.keys(obj); // Output: ['name', 'age']
// .etc for all Object static methods

Async JSON Operations

The asyncjson function is an asynchronous operation that allows you to convert objects to JSON strings and vice versa without blocking the code execution. It provides two methods: fromJS and toJS.

The fromJS method takes an object as input and returns a promise that resolves to the corresponding JSON string. Here's an example usage:

asyncjson.fromJS({ hello: 'world' }); // Output: '{"hello":"world"}'

The toJS method takes a JSON string as input and returns a promise that resolves to the corresponding JavaScript object. Here's an example usage:

asyncjson.toJS('{"hello":"world"}'); // Output: { hello: 'world' }

Future Features

• More utility functions: The package will be expanded to include more helper functions for tasks like string manipulation, array manipulation, and working with dates and times.
