stringmerge → String Alternating Merge

Description

Merges multiple strings together alternating through their arguments.

merge :: (...String) → String
merge :: ('abc', '123456') -> 'a1b2c3456'

Install

You can either install stringmerge via npm:

   yarn add stringmerge 

Alternatively, you can download/copy one of files in the /dist folder depending on your use-case:

• dist/stringmerge.js - The node build for use with webpack and the like
• dist/stringmerge-browser.js - The browser build includes all the various library dependancies
• dist/stringmerge-browser.min.js - The minified version of browser version

Mode of Operation

The default export merge merges string arguments together via a simple while loop. Any non-string arguments will be disregarded.

import merge from 'stringmerge'

const mergedString = merge('abc', '123', 123, 'z');
// should(mergeResults).be.eql('a1zb2c3');

Alternatively, you can use the mergeGenerator export which utilizes a generator to iterate through the arguments. This only makes sense if you have a ridiculous amount of arguments around the ballpark of +25000.

import { mergeGenerator } from 'stringmerge'

const mergedString = mergeGenerator('abc', '123', 123, 'z');
// should(mergeResults).be.eql('a1zb2c3');
