Sample

const objectFromPairs = require('object-from-pairs')

console.log(objectFromPairs([
  [ 'first' + 'Key',        'first value' ],
  [ 'second' + '-' + 'key', 'second value' ],
]))

outputs the following:

{ firstKey: 'first value', 'second-key': 'second value' }

(see quick-demo.js)

TODO

• deeper testing
• proper API documentation
• use eslint-config-standard@12 when available (https://github.com/standard/eslint-config-standard/issues/123)
• follow standard more closely in quick-demo.js and sample
• pre-es6 support
• test on browser
• test on AppVeyor & Travis CI
• SauceLabs?
• commit package-lock.json (??)

FUTURE TBD

• merge with the now deprecated https://npm.im/object-from-entries package?
