Brew's Toolbox.js

This little toolbox has reusable code for different projects. No, they aren't yet highly developed or efficient algorithms but I like them anyhow. This is mostly for me to add code to other projects but it's obviously available for anyone to copy and use.

capitalizeWords()

Takes in a word or words and returns them capitalized. For example:

capitalizeWords("good morning") => Good Morning

compareAlphabetical() / sortAlphabetical()

The compare function takes in two values and attempts to sort them alphabetically.

compareAlphabetical("alpha", "beta") => 1 compareAlphabetical("beta", "alpha") => -1 compareAlphabetical("beta", "beta") => 0

The sort function takes in an array and attempts to return a new alphabetized array. For example:

sortAlphabetical(["alpha", "gamma", "beta"]) => ["alpha", "beta", "gamma"]

This sort function is non-destructive.

isALetter() / isAConsonant() / isAVowel()

A few simple ones that return true or false if a single string character is a letter, consonant, or vowel. For example:

isALetter("a") => true

isAConsonant("a") => false

isAConsonant("b") => true

isAVowel("a") => true

isAVowel("b") => false

numWord()

This takes in a positive integer and spits out the corresponding word. For example:

numWord(1) => "one"

nthNumWord()

Similar to numWord(), nthNumWord() takes in a positive integer and spits out the word in its nth form, for example:

nthNumWord(10) => "tenth"

random()

Takes in an array, an object or string and returns a random element from it. For example:

random([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]) => 2

random({1: "a", 2: "b", 3: "c", 4: "d", 5: "e"}) => {3: "c"}

random("panda") => "n"

Many of these functions have been built to render error messages on the console if an incorrect argument gets passed in, however they won't throw errors themselves.

stringToColor()

Takes in an argument of a string and converts that string to a hexadecimal color code. For example:

stringToColor('I am a string') => "#cd14fb"

toBinary()

Takes an argument of an integer and converts that integer into a string of binary. For example:

toBinary(5) => "101"

fromBinary()

Takes an argument of a string representing binary and converts that to an integer. For example:

fromBinary("101") => 5

npm

I've added this as an npm package just for the fun of it. It can be added to a project by running:

$ npm install brews-toolboxjs

Once added, import functions to your local file like so:

import {random, isALetter, sortAlphabetical} from 'brews-toolboxjs'

You can also import the entire toolbox for use:

import toolbox from 'brews-toolboxjs'

toolbox.isALetter("a") => true
