Lotide

A ~~pale imitation~~ mini clone of the Lodash library (https://lodash.com/).

Purpose

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

(But if you do decide to use it, I will buy you cake)

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

Usage

Install it: Go to the terminal and type npm install @open-meadow/lotide in the desired folder. ( Just in case you're like me and you didn't know )

Require it: Open a new JavaScript file in VS Code (or your editor of choice) and type const _ = require('@open-meadow/lotide');.

Call it: Type console.log(_.tail([1,2,3]));. It should output [2,3]. How you output JavaScript is up to you.

Documentation

This library can run the following functions

• .assertArraysEqual([array1],[array2]) : Lets you know if two arrays are equal.
• .assertEqual(element1, element2) : Lets you know if two elements are equal.
• .assertObjectsEqual(object1, object2) : Lets you know if two arrays are equal.
• .countLetters(sentence) : Counts the nummber of letters in a sentence.
• .countOnly(array[], element) : Counts the number of times 'element' is in 'array'
• .findKeyByValue(object, value): Finds key in object based on provided value
• .flatten(array): If provided a nested array, it returns an un-nested aray, with the values intact
• .head(array): Returns the first value of an array.
• .letterPositions(sentence, letter): Returns the position of a letter in a sentence.
• .map(array): Will return the first letter of provided array of strings. Hopefully does not get in the way of Javascript's map function.
• .middle(array): Finds the middle elements of provided array.
• .tail(array): Returns everything after the first element of provided array.
• .takeUntil(array, callback): Returns all elements of array that do not meet the callback function.
• .without(array, itemsToRemove): Returns an array without items specified in parameter 2.
