A simple system for injecting and transforming methods
Installation
yarn add method-inject
npm install --save method-inject
Usage
To use method-inject, it's as simple as calling it on a method:
const inject = require('method-inject');
// Transform the first argument and prepend '[INFO] ' to it
const log = inject(console.log).transform(0, text => '[INFO] ' + text);
log('Hello, there!');
// => [INFO] Hello, there!
There are several methods, the rest of which are shown below:
const inject = require('method-inject');
const someObject = {
buggedMethod(someArg) {
console.log(someArg + 1);
}
};
// Hmm, we've been getting `NaN` in the console from someObject.buggedMethod, let's check it out:
someObject.buggedMethod = inject(someObject.buggedMethod, someObject).before(args => console.log('buggedMethod called with the following args:', args));
// Note that we passed someObject as the second parameter to inject, indicating that the method should be bound to that object.
// Problem code:
someObject.buggedMethod('ERRORS');
// => buggedMethod called with the following args: [ 'ERRORS' ]
// => NaN
const inject = require('method-inject');
const db = {
internal: {
life: 42
},
get(key, default) {
return this.internal[key] || default;
}
};
if (process.env.DB_VERBOSE) {
db.get = inject(db.get, db).after((returnValue, args) => {
console.log(`DB::GET(key=${args[0]},default=${args[1] || 'none'}) -> ${returnValue}`);
});
}
// Assuming DB_VERBOSE=true:
console.log(`The meaning of life is ${db.get('life', -1)}`);
// => DB::GET(key=life,default=-1) -> 42
// => The meaning of life is 42
const inject = require('method-inject');
const multiply = (a, b) => {
return a * b;
};
const multiplyAndSquare = inject(multiply).transformOutput(output => output * output);
// (2 * 3) * (2 * 3) = 6 * 6 = 36
console.log(multiplyAndSquare(2, 3));
// => 36
Methods can also be chained indefinitely:
const inject = require('method-inject');
const multiply = (a, b) => a * b;
const addOne = x => x + 1;
const square = x => x * x;
const verboseComplexMath = inject(multiply)
.after(output => console.log(`COMPLEX_CALC -> ${output}`))
.transformOutput(addOne)
.transformOutput(square);
console.log(verboseComplexMath(4, 5));
// => COMPLEX_CALC -> 441
// => 441
