Lotide

A mini clone of the Lodash library.

Purpose

BEWARE: This library was published for learning purposes. It is not intended for use in production-grade software.

This project was created and published by me as part of my learnings at Lighthouse Labs.

Usage

Install it:

npm install @alan-marx/lotide

Require it:

const _ = require('@alan-marx/lotide');

Call it:

const results = _.tail([1, 2, 3]) // => [2, 3]

Documentation

The following functions are currently implemented:

• head(array): Returns the first element of an array
• tail(array): Returns the tail (all elements after head) of an array
• middle(array): Returns the middle element of an array with an odd number of elements or the two middle elements for an even number
• countLetters(string): Returns an object with keys for each letter in the input string and values for the number of occurance for each letter
• countOnly(allItems, itemsToCount): allItems: an array of strings that we need to look through; itemsToCount: an object specifying what to count; Returns an object with the items specified in the itemsToCount parameter with occurance values
• eqArrays(array1, array2): Returns true if both array arrguments contain the same values; false otherwise
• eqObjects(object1, object2): Returns true if both object arguments contain the same key: value pairs
• findKey(object, callback): Higher-order function that accepts an object and a callback function. Will call callback function on each object value and return the key of the first value which is true via the callback function.
• findKeyByValue(object, searchValue: Will return the key of the object property that has a value matching the searchValue parameter.
• flatten(array): Takes in an array with nested arrays as an argument and returns a flattened array composed of every individual element in each array.
• letterPositions(string): Takes in a string as an argument and returns an object with a key for every letter present in the string paired with an array listing the various index positions of each particular letter in the string.
• map(array, callback): Takes in an array and a callback function and returns a new array with the results of passing every array item through the function.
• takeUntil(array, callback): Takes in an array and a callback function as arguments and returns a new array with all the elements of the first array that return true in the callback.
• without(array, arrayTwo): Takes in two arrays as arguments and returns a new array with all the elements of the first array that are not present in the second array.
