Quick Examples

Array Utilities

import { distributeRoundRobin, downSampleRandomly } from '@handy-common-utils/misc-utils';

// Distribute items evenly across groups
const items = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6];
const groups = distributeRoundRobin(items, 3);
// Result: [[1,4], [2,5], [3,6]]

// Random sampling
const sample = downSampleRandomly(items, 3);
// Gets 3 random items while maintaining relative order

Encoding of Strings

import { 
  shortBase64UrlFromUInt32,
  generateRandomString 
} from '@handy-common-utils/misc-utils';

// Convert number to URL-safe base64
const urlSafeId = shortBase64UrlFromUInt32(12345);

// Generate random string (cryptographically strong)
const randomId = generateRandomString(16);
// Generate random string (no cryptographic strength)
const randomId2 = generateRandomStringQuickly(16);

Error Classification

import {
  couldBeNetworkingTimeoutError,
  couldBeServerError,
  couldBeTemporaryNetworkingError
} from '@handy-common-utils/misc-utils';

try {
  await fetchData();
} catch (error) {
  if (couldBeTemporaryNetworkingError(error)) {
    // Retry logic
  }
  if (couldBeServerError(error)) {
    // Log server error
  }
}

Line Logger

 // use chalk (chalk is not a dependency of this package, you need to add chalk as a dependency separately)
 import chalk from 'chalk';
 import { LineLogger } from '@handy-common-utils/misc-utils';

 // this.flags is an object with properties "debug" and "quiet"
 this.output = LineLogger.consoleWithColour(this.flags, chalk);
 this.output.warn('Configuration file not found, default configuration would be used.');  // it would be printed out in yellow

String Masking

import { mask, maskAll, maskEmail, maskFullName, pathBasedReplacer } from '@handy-common-utils/misc-utils';

const masked = JSON.stringify(obj, pathBasedReplacer([
  [/(^|\.)x-api-key$/i, maskAll],
  [/(^|\.)customer\.name$/i, maskFullName],
  [/(^|\.)customer\..*[eE]mail$/i, maskEmail],
  [/(^|\.)zip$/i, (value: string) => value.slice(0, 3) + 'XX'],
  [/(^|\.)cc$/i, () => undefined],
  [/(^|\.)ssn$/i, mask],
]));

JSON Stringify with Replacers

import { pathBasedReplacer } from '@handy-common-utils/misc-utils';

const data = {
  user: {
    name: 'John Smith',
    email: '[email protected]',
    ssn: '123-45-6789',
    creditCard: '4111-1111-1111-1111'
  }
};

const replacer = pathBasedReplacer([
  [/\.name$/, maskFullName],
  [/\.email$/, maskEmail],
  [/\.ssn$/, maskAll],
  [/\.creditCard$/, maskCreditCard]
]);

console.log(JSON.stringify(data, replacer, 2));

String Substitution

import { substituteAll } from '@handy-common-utils/misc-utils';

// Template substitution
const template = 'Hello, {name}! Your order #{orderId} is ready.';
const values = { name: 'John', orderId: '12345' };
const result = substituteAll(template, /{([^{}]+)}/g, (_, groups) => {
  return values[groups[1]] || '';
});
// Result: "Hello, John! Your order #12345 is ready."

Masking

In software development, it's often necessary to hide sensitive information to protect user privacy or comply with regulations. Masking is a common technique used to replace part of a sensitive value with a different, non-sensitive value. For example, you might mask credit card numbers, passwords, or email addresses.

The mask(input, keepLeft = 1, keepRight = 0, minLength = 3, maskLengthOrMaskString = null, maskPattern = '*') function can be used to mask the content of a string, replacing a part of the input string with a mask string. It takes several optional parameters, including the number of characters to keep on the left and right sides of the string, a minimum length for the input string to have unmask characters kept, and the mask pattern to use. The maskEmail(input) and maskFullName(input) functions are specific variations of the mask function that target email addresses and full names, respectively. The maskAll(input) function masks all characters.

expect(mask(undefined)).to.be.undefined;
expect(mask(null)).to.be.null;
expect(mask('')).to.equal('');

expect(mask('abcde')).to.equal('a****');
expect(mask('abc')).to.equal('a**');
expect(mask('ab')).to.equal('**');

expect(maskEmail('[email protected]')).to.equal('j****.**@address.com');
expect(maskEmail('[email protected]')).to.equal('h**@here.com');
expect(maskEmail('[email protected]')).to.equal('**@here.com');
expect(maskEmail('[email protected]')).to.equal('**.n**.e****.a******@example.com');

expect(maskFullName('James Hu')).to.equal('J**** **');
expect(maskFullName('John Smith')).to.equal('J*** S****');
expect(maskFullName('Mike')).to.equal('M***');
expect(maskFullName('Mia')).to.equal('M**');
expect(maskFullName('Me')).to.equal('**');
expect(maskFullName('John von Neumann')).to.equal('J*** v** N******');
expect(maskFullName('Two  Spaces')).to.equal('T**  S*****');
expect(maskFullName('张三丰')).to.equal('张**');
expect(maskFullName('张三')).to.equal('**');

Replacers for JSON.stringify(input, replacer, space)

The pathAwareReplacer(replacer, options) function allows you to build a replacer function that can be passed to JSON.stringify(input, replacer, space). Besides the key, value, and owning object, it also exposes more information to your callback function, such like the full property path as both a dot (.) separated string and as an array, and an array of ancestor objects. This can be useful when you need to replace specific values in an object, but you also want to know where those values were located in the object.

pathBasedReplacer is a function that takes an array of path-based masking rules and returns a function that can be used as the second parameter in the JSON.stringify function. This function allows you to mask sensitive information during JSON.stringify in a very flexible way.

Each element in the rules array contains two parts: a regular expression that matches the full paths to the values you want to mask or replace, and a masking or replacing function that takes the original value as input and returns the masked or replaced value.

For example, you could use pathBasedReplacer to replace all credit card numbers in an object with masked versions of the numbers:

const maskCreditCard = (value: any) => "****-****-****-" + value.slice(-4);

const replacer = pathBasedReplacer([
  [/(^|\.)billing\.cc$/i, maskCreditCard]
]);

const json = JSON.stringify({
  to: '[email protected]',
  cc: '[email protected]',
  year: 2023,
  month: 2,
  orders: [
    {
      id: 123,
      billing: {
        address: '19 High Street',
        cc: '1234-5678-2222-3333',
      },
    },
    {
      id: 124,
      billing: {
        address: '88 Main Street',
        cc: '3435-8933-0009-2241',
      },
    },
  ],
}, replacer, 2);

// Combining multiple path based replaces
const replacer2 = pathBasedReplacer([
  ...
]);
const combinedReplacer = pathBasedReplacer([...replacer.rules, ...replacer2.rules]);

substituteAll

The substituteAll(input, searchPattern, substitute) function allows you to perform substitutions on an input string by matching a specified pattern and replacing the matches with substitution strings built by a function. It provides flexibility in handling complex substitution scenarios through the substitute callback function.

Example Usage Scenarios:

Templating: Replace placeholder variables in a template string with dynamic values. For example, transforming the template "Hello, {name}! How are you, {name}? I am {me}." into "Hello, John! How are you, John? I am James." by substituting {name} with the value "John" and {me} with value "James".

const input = 'Hello, {name}! How are you, {name}? I am {me}.';
const searchPattern = /{([^{}]+)}/g;
const dict: Record<string, string> = {
  name: 'John',
  me: 'James',
};
const substitute: Parameters<typeof substituteAll>[2] = (_match, result) => {
  const key = result[1];
  return dict[key] ?? `{NOT FOUND: ${key}}`;
};
const result = substituteAll(input, searchPattern, substitute);

Text Transformation: Modify specific segments of a string based on predefined patterns. For instance, converting dates written in a non-standard format, such as "MM/DD/YY", to a standardized format, like "YYYY-MM-DD", using a suitable regular expression pattern and substitution logic.

const input = 'Event date: 12/31/21';
const searchPattern = / ((\d{2})\/(\d{2})\/(\d{2}))/g;
const substitute = (_: string, result: any) => {
  const [match, date, month, day, year] = result;
  const formattedDate = `20${year}-${month}-${day}`;
  return match.replace(date, formattedDate);
};

const result = substituteAll(input, searchPattern, substitute);

http-status

Enumerations

| Enumeration | Description | | ------ | ------ | | HttpStatusCode | Some (not all) well known HTTP status codes |

Variables

| Variable | Description | | ------ | ------ | | HttpStatusMessage | Some (not all) HTTP status messages matching their codes |

Enumerations

Enumeration: HttpStatusCode

Some (not all) well known HTTP status codes

Enumeration Members

| Enumeration Member | Value | Description | | ------ | ------ | ------ | | ACCEPTED202 | 202 | The request has been received but not yet acted upon. It is non-committal, meaning that there is no way in HTTP to later send an asynchronous response indicating the outcome of processing the request. It is intended for cases where another process or server handles the request, or for batch processing. | | BAD_GATEWAY502 | 502 | This error response means that the server, while working as a gateway to get a response needed to handle the request, got an invalid response. | | BAD_REQUEST400 | 400 | This response means that server could not understand the request due to invalid syntax. | | CONFLICT409 | 409 | This response is sent when a request conflicts with the current state of the server. | | CREATED201 | 201 | The request has succeeded and a new resource has been created as a result of it. This is typically the response sent after a PUT request. | | FORBIDDEN403 | 403 | The client does not have access rights to the content, i.e. they are unauthorized, so server is rejecting to give proper response. Unlike 401, the client's identity is known to the server. | | GATEWAY_TIMEOUT504 | 504 | This error response is given when the server is acting as a gateway and cannot get a response in time. | | INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR500 | 500 | The server encountered an unexpected condition that prevented it from fulfilling the request. | | METHOD_NOT_ALLOWED405 | 405 | The request method is known by the server but has been disabled and cannot be used. For example, an API may forbid DELETE-ing a resource. The two mandatory methods, GET and HEAD, must never be disabled and should not return this error code. | | MOVED_PERMANENTLY301 | 301 | This response code means that URI of requested resource has been changed. Probably, new URI would be given in the response. | | MOVED_TEMPORARILY302 | 302 | This response code means that URI of requested resource has been changed temporarily. New changes in the URI might be made in the future. Therefore, this same URI should be used by the client in future requests. | | NO_CONTENT204 | 204 | There is no content to send for this request, but the headers may be useful. The user-agent may update its cached headers for this resource with the new ones. | | NOT_FOUND404 | 404 | The server can not find requested resource. In the browser, this means the URL is not recognized. In an API, this can also mean that the endpoint is valid but the resource itself does not exist. Servers may also send this response instead of 403 to hide the existence of a resource from an unauthorized client. This response code is probably the most famous one due to its frequent occurence on the web. | | NOT_IMPLEMENTED501 | 501 | The request method is not supported by the server and cannot be handled. The only methods that servers are required to support (and therefore that must not return this code) are GET and HEAD. | | OK200 | 200 | The request has succeeded. The meaning of a success varies depending on the HTTP method: GET: The resource has been fetched and is transmitted in the message body. HEAD: The entity headers are in the message body. POST: The resource describing the result of the action is transmitted in the message body. TRACE: The message body contains the request message as received by the server | | PERMANENT_REDIRECT308 | 308 | This means that the resource is now permanently located at another URI, specified by the Location: HTTP Response header. This has the same semantics as the 301 Moved Permanently HTTP response code, with the exception that the user agent must not change the HTTP method used: if a POST was used in the first request, a POST must be used in the second request. | | REQUEST_TIMEOUT408 | 408 | This response is sent on an idle connection by some servers, even without any previous request by the client. It means that the server would like to shut down this unused connection. This response is used much more since some browsers, like Chrome, Firefox 27+, or IE9, use HTTP pre-connection mechanisms to speed up surfing. Also note that some servers merely shut down the connection without sending this message. | | SEE_OTHER303 | 303 | Server sent this response to directing client to get requested resource to another URI with an GET request. | | SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE503 | 503 | The server is not ready to handle the request. Common causes are a server that is down for maintenance or that is overloaded. Note that together with this response, a user-friendly page explaining the problem should be sent. This responses should be used for temporary conditions and the Retry-After: HTTP header should, if possible, contain the estimated time before the recovery of the service. The webmaster must also take care about the caching-related headers that are sent along with this response, as these temporary condition responses should usually not be cached. | | TEMPORARY_REDIRECT307 | 307 | Server sent this response to directing client to get requested resource to another URI with same method that used prior request. This has the same semantic than the 302 Found HTTP response code, with the exception that the user agent must not change the HTTP method used: if a POST was used in the first request, a POST must be used in the second request. | | TOO_MANY_REQUESTS429 | 429 | The user has sent too many requests in a given amount of time ("rate limiting"). | | UNAUTHORIZED401 | 401 | Although the HTTP standard specifies "unauthorized", semantically this response means "unauthenticated". That is, the client must authenticate itself to get the requested response. |

Classes

| Class | Description | | ------ | ------ | | LineLogger | A LineLogger logs/prints one entire line of text before advancing to another line. This class is useful for encapsulating console.log/info/warn/error functions. By having an abstraction layer, your code can switching to a different output with nearly no change. |

Type Aliases

| Type Alias | Description | | ------ | ------ | | ConsoleLineLogger | Type of the object returned by LineLogger.console() or LineLogger.consoleWithColour(). It has the same function signatures as console.log/info/warn/error. |

Variables

| Variable | Description | | ------ | ------ | | consoleLike | Build an instance from 'log' (https://github.com/medikoo/log). info of the LineLogger is mapped to notice of the medikoo log. | | consoleWithColour | Build an encapsulation of console output functions with console.log/info/warn/error and chalk/colors/cli-color. | | consoleWithoutColour | Build an encapsulation of console output functions with console.log/info/warn/error. |

Classes

Class: LineLogger<DEBUG_FUNC, INFO_FUNC, WARN_FUNC, ERROR_FUNC>

A LineLogger logs/prints one entire line of text before advancing to another line. This class is useful for encapsulating console.log/info/warn/error functions. By having an abstraction layer, your code can switching to a different output with nearly no change.

Please note that although the name contains "Logger", this class is not intended to be used as a generic logger. It is intended for "logging for humans to read" scenario.

LineLogger.console() and LineLogger.consoleWithColour() are ready to use convenient functions. Or you can use the constructor to build your own wrappers.

Example

// Just a wrapper of console.log/info/warn/error
const consoleLogger = LineLogger.console();

// Wrapper of console.log/info/warn/error but it mutes console.log
const lessVerboseConsoleLogger = LineLogger.console({debug: false});

// Wrapper of console.log/info/warn/error but it mutes console.log and console.info
const lessVerboseConsoleLogger = LineLogger.console({quiet: true});

// use chalk (chalk is not a dependency of this package, you need to add chalk as a dependency separately)
import chalk from 'chalk';
// this.flags is an object with properties "debug" and "quiet"
this.output = LineLogger.consoleWithColour(this.flags, chalk);
this.output.warn('Configuration file not found, default configuration would be used.');  // it would be printed out in yellow

Type Parameters
