Installation

npm

$ npm install json-shaper --save

How to use

// import shaper
import { shaper } from 'json-shaper';

// load data to be transformed
import input from './data/input.js'


// define a schema to shape by
const schema = {
  id: 'id',
  firstName: 'first_name',
  lastName: 'last_name',
  workplace: {
    id: 'office_id',
    name: 'office_company_name',
    address: {
      street: 'company_street',
      postCode: 'company_postcode',
      country: 'company_cty',
    }
  },
  isActive: 'user_is_active'
}


// generate transformer function based on schema
const transformer = shaper(schema)

// transform data
const result = input.map(transformer)

// profit
console.log(JSON.stringify(result, null, 2));

If the input data looks like this:

[
  {
    "id": 32,
    "first_name": "John",
    "last_name": "Flow",
    "office_id": 12,
    "office_company_name": "ACME Inc.",
    "company_street": "Rocket Street 3",
    "company_postcode": "11122",
    "company_cty": "Space City",
    "user_is_active": false
  },
  {
    "id": 100,
    "first_name": "Mike",
    "last_name": "",
    "office_id": 532,
    "office_company_name": "",
    "user_is_active": true
  },
  ...
  ...
  ...
]

json-shaper will transform it into this:

[
  {
    "id": 32,
    "firstName": "John",
    "lastName": "Flow",
    "workplace": {
      "id": 12,
      "name": "ACME Inc.",
      "address": {
        "street": "Rocket Street 3",
        "postCode": "11122",
        "country": "Space City",
      }
    },
    "isActive": false
  },
  {
    "id": 100,
    "firstName": "Mike",
    "lastName": "",
    "workplace": {
      "id": 532,
      "name": "",
      "address": {}
    },
    "isActive": true
  },
  ...
  ...
  ...
]
