Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

@nexssp/extend

v2.0.9

Published

Extend some standard functionality of JavaScript: Arrays, Strings..

Downloads

305

Readme

@nexssp/extend

15.01.2022 Upgrade - Now works also with import as module.

const array = require('@nexssp/extend/array')
console.log(Object.keys(array)) // see all available functions for array

// or
import { remove, flat, range } from '@nexssp/extend/array'

Some functions written/re-written and/or collected to make things easier in JavaScript/NodeJS.

How to Start?

// Change to version 2.0 - now you loads as parameter on require:
const extend = require('@nexssp/extend/array')

New range function

range(0, 63) // produces [0, 1, 2, 3......62, 63 ] (note 63 includes!)

filterArray

filterArray([1, 2, 3, 4], [2, 3]) // [1, 4]

New Object dot notation (no eval!)

dset({}, 'a.b.c.d.a.b.a', { x: 1, y: 2 })
// will produce: {"a":{"b":{"c":{"d":{"a":{"b":{"a":{"x":1,"y":2}}}}}}}}

const x = {
  1: 2,
  [',:$']: { w: { eeee: 5 } },
  x: 12222,
  y: { z: 1345 },
}

console.log(dget(x, ',:$.w.eeee')) // returns 5

// for deletion just use standard delete eg. delete x.y.z

New String.addTimestamp and String.trimExtension

addTimestamp('mystring') //==> mystring_2021-05-21T08.34.33.064Z
addTimestamp('myfile.png') //==> myfile_2021-05-21T08.35.35.058Z.png
trimExtension('myfile.png') // ==> myfile

New Object.findByProp() and Object.deleteByProp()

Object.findByProp()

Now also with regexp

findByProp(
  {
    commands: [
      { name: 'a1', 'something else': 'x' },
      { name: 'a2', 'something else': 'y' },
    ],
    key2: 'val2',
  },
  'commands',
  'name',
  'a2' // this can be also regexp from 2.0.3+: /^a2$/
)

Object.deleteByProp()

deleteByProp(
  {
    commands: [
      { name: 'a1', 'something else': 'x' },
      { name: 'a2', 'something else': 'y' },
    ],
    key2: 'val2',
  },
  'commands',
  'name',
  'a1'
)

New

  • parseURL - replacement for url.parse is depracated - There was a great function url.parse but it is depracated. parseURL is doing just that.

  • argvAddQuotes - adds quotes to the parameters:

argvAddQuotes([ 'nexss','par1','par with space' ,'--x=a b c' ,"y='a c d'",'a b c' ]) ==>
[ 'nexss','par1','"par with space"','--x="a b c"','y="a c d"','"a b c"']

New YAML and JSON with 'function' serialize

Yaml

const { YAMLstringify, YAMLparse } = extend('@nexssp/extend/yaml')

const yamlFromObject = YAMLstringify({
  x: 1,
  y: 5,
  nested: { x: 5, nested: { t: 'test' } },
})

console.log('YAMLfromObject:', yamlFromObject)

// YAMLfromObject: x: 1
// 'y': 5
// nested:
//   x: 5
//   nested:
//     t: test

console.log('ObjectFromYaml', YAMLparse(yamlFromObject))
// ObjectFromYaml { x: 1, y: 5, nested: { x: 5, nested: { t: 'test' } } }

JSON

const { JSONstringify, JSONparse } = extend('@nexssp/extend/json')
const x = JSONstringify({
  x: 1,
  y: function (e) {
    console.log(`Hello! ${e}}`)
  },
}) // {"x":1,"y":"function (e) {\r\n    console.log(`Hello! ${e}}`);\r\n  }"}

console.log(JSONparse(x)) // { x: 1, y: [Function (anonymous)] }

New Object functions

const { invert } = extend('@nexssp/extend/object')
invert({ key1: 'val1', key2: 'val2' }) // { val1: 'key1', val2: 'key2' }

NEW for Strings and Arrays

  • argStripQuotes() - "test1" => test2 OR more advanced 'someadvanced="sd asd asd asd=,$$$=!"' => someadvanced=sd asd asd asd=,$$$=!

NEW for Strings

  • StripTerminalColors() - removes terminal colors
  • StripEndQuotes() - "test1" => test2

Usage

Strings

// The same is doing NodeJS. All arguments have stripped out the ' and " begining and end.

//Also this works
argStripQuotes("mystring='xxx'") // mystring=xxx

// Above one function has been built based on article:
// https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19156148/i-want-to-remove-double-quotes-from-a-string
// We have built them as prototypes and modified them so also working for arrays.

stripEndQuotes('"test2"') // => test2
pad('Some string', 20, '=') // => ====Some string=====
similarity('abc def', 'abc deg') // => 85.71428571428571
camelCase('this is a test') // => This is a test
template('this ${myvar} and it is ${myvar2}', {
  myvar: 'works!',
  myvar2: 'amazing!',
}) // => this works! and it is amazing!

Arrays


argStripQuotes([
  "myparam1='test1'", // => myparam1=test1
  'myparam2="test2"', // => myparam2=test2
  'someadvanced="sd asd asd asd=,$$$=!"', // => someadvanced=sd asd asd asd=,$$$=!
  '"Nexss Programmer"="test more adv"', // => Nexss Programmer=test more adv
]);

remove(["my val1", "my second val",
"and another val"],"my second val"); // => [ 'my val1', 'and another val' ]
flat([[1, 2], [3, 4]]); // =>  [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ]
flat([1, [2, [5, 2], [6]]]); // =>  [ 1, 2, [ 5, 2 ], [ 6 ] ]
flat([1, [2, [5, 2, [6]]],2); // => [ 1, 2, 5, 2, [ 6 ] ]
