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 @arcanecipher/lotide

Require it:

const _ = require('@arcanecipher/lotide');

Call it:

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

Documentation

The following functions are currently implemented:

• assertArraysEqual(...): Compares two arrays and returns true if they are equal, false otherwise
• assertEqual(...): Compares two values and returns true if they are strictly equal, false otherwise
• assertObjectsEqual(...): Logs a message to the console based on whether two objects are equal
• countLetters(...): Takes a string and returns an object containing the counts of each letter in the string
• countOnly(...): Counts specified items from an array, based on the itemsToCount object
• eqArrays(...): Compares two arrays for a perfect match (strict equality of elements and order)
• eqObjects(...): Compares two objects to check if they are equal
• findKey(...): Finds the first key in an object where the callback function returns true for the value
• findKeyByValue(...): Finds the first key in an object that matches the specified value
• flatten(...): Flattens a nested array into a single-level array
• head(...): Returns the first element of an array
• isObject(...): Evaluates a value to check if is strictly an object. Will exclude null, Arrays, and Functions as "objects"
• letterPositions(...): Returns an object where each key is a character from the input sentence
• map(...): Takes an array and a callback function, applies the callback to each item in the array, and returns a new array with the results
• middle(...): Returns the middle element(s) of an array
• tail(...): Returns the last element of an array
• takeUntil(...): Returns a slice of the array with elements taken from the beginning until the callback function returns a truthy value.
• without(...): Returns a new array that excludes specific unwanted elements from the source array
