Whether you're looking to flatten a nested structure or revert a flat map into its multi-dimensional glory, json-origami
makes the process seamless.
Key Features
- Lightweight & Standalone: Operates without any external dependencies, ensuring quick installations and reduced bundle sizes.
- Simple & Intuitive: Designed with a simple API that is easy to learn and use.
Installation
npm install json-origami
Usage
fold
Flatten a multi-layered JSON object into a single-tiered representation.
import { fold } from 'json-origami'
const obj = {
a: 1,
b: {
c: 2,
d: [3, { e: 4 }]
}
}
const result = fold(obj)
console.log(result)
/// { a: 1, 'b.c': 2, 'b.d[0]': 3, 'b.d[1].e': 4 }
unfold
Transform a single-layer JSON map back to its original nested structure.
import { unfold } from 'json-origami'
const obj = {
a: 1,
'b.c': 2,
'b.d[0]': 3,
'b.d[1].e': 4
}
const result = unfold(obj)
console.log(result)
/// { a: 1, b: { c: 2, d: [3, { e: 4 }] } }
twist
Reshape and reorganize the keys of your JSON structure, mirroring the intricate adjustments made in origami.
import { twist } from 'json-origami'
const obj = {
a: 1,
b: {
c: 2,
d: [3, { e: 4 }]
}
}
const reshapingMap = {
a: 'foo',
'b.c': 'bar',
'b.d': 'baz'
}
const result = twist(obj, reshapingMap)
console.log(result)
/// { foo: 1, bar: 2, baz: [3, { e: 4 }] }
pick
Select only the specified keys from a JSON object.
import { pick } from 'json-origami'
const obj = {
a: 1,
b: {
c: 2,
d: [3, { e: 4 }]
}
}
const result = pick(obj, ['a', 'b.c'])
console.log(result)
/// { a: 1, b: { c: 2 } }
omit
Remove the specified keys from a JSON object.
import { omit } from 'json-origami'
const obj = {
a: 1,
b: {
c: 2,
d: [3, { e: 4 }]
}
}
const result = omit(obj, ['b.c', 'b.d[1]'])
console.log(result)
/// { a: 1, b: { d: [3] } }
Options
arrayIndex
Type: 'dot' | 'bracket'
Default: 'bracket'
Determines the formatting of array indexes when keys are compressed. Choose between dot notation (.0) or bracket notation ([0]).
import { fold } from 'json-origami'
const obj = {
a: 1,
b: {
c: 2,
d: [3, { e: 4 }]
}
}
const result = fold(obj, { arrayIndex: 'dot' })
conole.log(result)
/// { a: 1, 'b.c': 2, 'b.d.0': 3, 'b.d.1.e': 4 }
pruneArray
Options for 'unfold', 'twist', 'pick', 'omit'
Type: boolean
Default: true
Specifies whether to remove the specified array elements or not.
import { twist } from 'json-origami'
const obj = {
a: 1,
b: {
c: 2,
d: [3, 4, 5, 6]
}
}
const result1 = twist(obj, { 'b.d[1]': 'D' }, { pruneArray: true })
console.log(result1)
/// { a: 1, b: { c: 2, d: [3, 5, 6] }, D: 4 }
const result2 = twist(obj, { 'b.d[1]': 'D' }, { pruneArray: false })
console.log(result2)
/// { a: 1, b: { c: 2, d: [3, undefined, 5, 6] }, D: 4 }
keyPrefix
Options for 'fold'
Type: string
Default: ''
(empty string)
Adds a specified prefix to the keys in the output.
