obj-each-break

Small utility library implementing each, map, filter, and their reverse versions for Arrays and Objects on all own properties not just integer indexed ones. Uses for-each-break to create break and return emulation as if it was a regular for or while loop.

To simulate break return BREAK or RETURN, to simulate return return BREAK(value) or RETURN(value) both are equivalent but the one communicating the right intent should be used.

The functions assume this is an array or object so they should be invoked with .call(arrayLike, callback)

defines:

• eachProp - invoke callback for each own property, order looping over the properties is not defined
• hasOwnProperties - true if has any own non-undefined properties
• arrayObjectKeys - collect array like indexed values and keys from both objects and arrays returns { arrayValues: [], objectKeys: [], } where arrayValues is an array of property values for integer>=0 props and objectKeys other own property keys
• eachDir - property looping where direction is provided as an argument
• each - invoke callback for each own property, first array index like properties in increasing index order then own properties in natural sort order
• eachRight - invoke callback for each own property, first own properties in reverse natural sort order then array index like properties in decreasing index order
• cloneArrayObject - clone array or object with all own properties
• deleteItems - delete items in an array, arguments are deep flattened
• arrayLength - return array like length for an object or array
• deepClone - deep clone array or object
• mergeDefaults - merge defaults into object properties
• copyFiltered - copy properties chosen by filter
• copyFilteredNot - copy properties not chosen by filter
• objFiltered - filter for object/array own properties, not only integer indexed properties, result is object/array depending on this for call
• objFilter - filter for object/array own properties, not only integer indexed properties, result is an array
• objMapped - object map for object/array own properties, not only integer indexed properties, result is object/array depending on this for call
• objMap - map for object/array own properties, not only integer indexed properties, result is array
• objSome - some for object/array own properties
• objEvery - some for object/array own properties
• objReduceIterated - reduce taking iteration functions and callback
• objReduce - reduce for object/array own properties, order of looping over properties not defined
• objReduceLeft - reduce for object/array own properties, order of looping over properties is same as each
• objReduceRight - reduce for object/array own properties, order of looping over properties same as eachRight

For convenience for-each-break module's exports are re-exported:

• BREAK - used to break or return from loop, using BREAK to break out of loop is preferred since it communicates clear intention
• RETURN - used to break or return from loop, using RETURN to break out of loop and return a value is preferred since it communicates clear intention
• filter - use to filter array like object, with early break or return: filter.call(arrayLike, callback, thisArg)
• forEach - use to loop over array like object: forEach.call(arrayLike, callback, thisArg, defaultReturn)
• map - use to map array like object, with early break or return: map.call(arrayLike, callback, thisArg)
• filterRight - use to filter array like object in reverse, with early break or return: filter.call(arrayLike, callback, thisArg)
• forEachRight - use to loop over array like object in reverse: forEach.call(arrayLike, callback, thisArg, defaultReturn)
• mapRight - use to map array like object in reverse, with early break or return: map.call(arrayLike, callback, thisArg)
