The fastest way to filter an array of objects

npm i opium-filter

Returns a new object with filtered items

filter(dataset, filter, [options])

Examples

import { filter } from 'opium-filter'

// Demo dataset
const data = [
  {name: "name1", value: "Value #1"},
  {name: "name2", value: "Value #2"},
  {name: "name3", value: "Value #3"},
  {name: "name4", value: "Value #4"},
  {name: "name5", value: {deepValue: "Deep Value #5"}},
  {name: "name6", value: [{deepValue: "Deep Value #6"}]},
]

Partial match

Returns any object that contains '2' in name

filter(data, {name: '2'})

// returns [{name: "name2", value: "Value #2"}]

Exact match

If set filter value in array, in returns only the exact match of any item

filter(data, {name: ['name2', 'name3']})

//returns [
//  {name: "name2", value: "Value #2"},
//  {name: "name3", value: "Value #3"},
//]

Matching values from inner objects

If filter can't find a key on top level, it will try to find it deeper

filter(data, {deepValue: "#5"})

// returns [{name: "name5", value: {deepValue: "Deep Value #5"}}]

You can turn this off by passing {deep: false} into options

filter(data, {deepValue: "#5"}, {deep: false})

// returns []

Or you can make it look only by value with no need of key, just pass {deep: true}

filter(data, "#5", {deep: true})

// returns [{name: "name5", value: {deepValue: "Deep Value #5"}}]

Match any value inside of a specific key

filter(data, {value: {deepValue: "#5"}})

// returns [{name: "name5", value: {deepValue: "Deep Value #5"}}]

Or pass {deep: true} to look deeper with no neet to specify a key

filter(data, {value: "#5"}, {deep: true})

// returns [{name: "name5", value: {deepValue: "Deep Value #5"}}]

Match a value inside of array

Finding values inside of an array doesn't requere any additional actions

filter(data, {deepValue: "#6"})

// returns [{name: "name6", value: [{deepValue: "Deep Value #6"}]}]

Limit number of returned objects

filter(data, {name: "n"}, {limit: 2})

// returns [
//  {name: "name1", value: "Value #1"},
//  {name: "name2", value: "Value #2"},
//]
