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 @joe-mics/lotide

Require it:

const _ = require('@joe-mics/lotide');

Call it:

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

Documentation

The following functions are currently implemented:

• assertArraysEqual(actual, expected): tests two arrays and logs pass or fail
• assertEqual(actual, expected): tests two primitive values and logs whether actual === expected
• assertObjectsEqual(actual, expected): tests two objects and logs whether actual === expected
• countLetters(string): returns an object representing the amount of instances of a character in the string
• countOnly(allItems: an array of strings that we need to look through, itemsToCount: an object specifying what to count): returns an object representing the amount of instances of an element in allItems. It will only count elements passed into itemsToCount.
  • itemsToCount example: {element: true, element2: false }
• eqArrays(arr1, arr2): returns true if two arrays are equal, and false if otherwise
• eqObjects(object1, object2): returns true if two objects are equal, and false if otherwise
• findKey(obj, callback): iterates through the object and calls a function on every element. If the callback returns true, it will return the first instance of an element that returns true
  • ex:

    const data1 = {
    "Blue Hill": { stars: 1 },
    "Akaleri":   { stars: 3 },
    "noma":      { stars: 2 },
    "elBulli":   { stars: 3 },
    "Ora":       { stars: 2 },
    "Akelarre":  { stars: 3 }
    };
    
    findKey(data1, x => x.stars === 1) 
    //"Blue Hill"

• findKeyByValue(obj, value): returns the key of an object that matches the value parameter
• flatten(arr): returns a single array, when given an array of arrays
• head(arr): returns the first element of an array
• letterPositions(sentence): returns an object representing the index of characters in the original characters
• map(arr, callback): returns a new array, with every element being called by the callback function
• middle(arr): returns an array contain the middle element if it is an odd numbered array, or an array containing two middle elements if the array is even numbered
• tail(arr): returns a new array without the first element of the original array
• takeUntil(array, callback): returns a new array with all of the elements until it reaches an element that returns false when called by the callback function
• without(source, itemsToRemove): returns of a copy of an array without the elements passed into itemsToRemove
