Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

ObjectFn

npm tests dependencies coverage

map, reduce, forEach, and filter for plain objects. Lazy evaluation, supports functional and imperative syntax, no dependencies.

Why should you care?

I wanted a library that has no dependencies and gives me the basic map/reduce/filter for use on objects. Any existing library I found has boatloads of dependencies, provides tons more extra tools, and/or is unmaintained. So here's ObjectFn, just for you!

Also, big props to @declandewet for the initial implementation of this library!

Requirements

Installation

Using a terminal:

$ npm install objectfn -S

Usage

Usage is straightforward. Just import what you need and use it on an object.

Imperative style

Takes data first, callback last.

const {map, reduce, filter, forEach} = require('objectfn')

const obj = { foo: 'bar', wow: 'doge' }

map(obj, (val) => val.toUpperCase())
// { foo: 'BAR', wow: 'DOGE' }

reduce(obj, (acc, val, key) => (acc[key.toUpperCase()] = val, acc), {})
// { FOO: 'bar', WOW: 'doge' }

filter(obj, (val, key) => key !== 'foo')
// { wow: 'doge' }

forEach(obj, console.log.bind(console))
// bar foo 0 { foo: 'bar', wow: 'doge' }
// doge wow 1 { foo: 'bar', wow: 'doge' }

Functional style

Takes callback first, data last. Each method is automatically curried.

const {map, reduce, filter, forEach} = require('objectfn')

const obj = { foo: 'bar', wow: 'doge' }

const upcaseValues = map((val) => val.toUpperCase())
upcaseValues(obj)
// { foo: 'BAR', wow: 'DOGE' }

const upcaseKeys = reduce((acc, val, key) => (acc[key.toUpperCase()] = key, acc), {})
upcaseKeys(obj)
// { FOO: 'bar', WOW: 'doge' }

const ignoreFoo = filter((val, key) => key !== 'foo')
ignoreFoo(obj)
// { wow: 'doge' }

const logValues = forEach(console.log.bind(console))
logValues(obj)
// bar foo 0 { foo: 'bar', wow: 'doge' }
// doge wow 1 { foo: 'bar', wow: 'doge' }

Method Signature

  • Each callback has a method signature of (value, key, index, object) with the exception of reduce.
    • value is the current key's value
    • key is the current key's name
    • index is the 0-based index of the current key
    • object is the original object.
  • reduce has a method signature of (accumulator, value, key, index, object).
    • accumulator is any initial value onto which you want to iteratively reduce from object.

Differences in reduce

In objectfn, the act of passing an accumulator to the reduce method is required, which is better for readability/accessibility (developer intentions are made more obvious), has no immediate disadvantages and is one of the two reasons objectfn is able to support both functional and imperative syntaxes.

This means that this will work:

let obj = { one: 1, two: 2, three: 3, four: 4 }
reduce(obj, (acc, val) => acc + val, 0) // => 10

But this will not:

let obj = { one: 1, two: 2, three: 3, four: 4 }
reduce(obj, (prevVal, currVal) => prevVal + currVal) // => wat?

Binding this

objectfn offers no mechanism for binding the this context of the callback via the last parameter. This is one of two reasons why objectfn is able to support both functional and imperative syntaxes. If you want this behavior, it is still possible (and far more readable) to do so using Function.prototype.bind:

map(obj, fn.bind(/* value to use as `this` goes here */))
