];

groupBy(value: Array, propName: PropertyOrFunc<T, string>): { key: string, value: T[] }[]

Groups an array of values by a particular property or a function that returns a string value and creates an array of {key: string, value[]: T}.

groupBy(testItems, 'name');
/*
[ 
  {
     key: 'S', 
     value: [{ id: 1, ...}, { id: 2, ...}, { id: 3... }]
  },
  {
    key: 'T',
    value: [{ id: 3, ... }]
  },

    key: 'V',
    value: [{ id: 4, ... }]
  }
]
*/

sortBy(value: Array, propName?: any, order?: SortType)

Sorts an array of values by a property, nested property, or defined by a delegate function that returns a StringOrNumber value.

// Nested property sorting
const sorted = sortBy(testItems, 'obj.name', 'asc');

// Sorting by function
const sorted1 = sortBy(testItems, (item) => item.obj.name, 'asc');

toDictionary(objects: T[], propName: PropertyOrFunc<T, StringOrNumber>): Record<string, T>

Turns an array of objects into a dictionary of values.

toDictionary(testItems, 'id');
toDictionary(testItems, item => item.id);
/* {
  '1': {
    id: 1, ....
  },
  '2': {
    id: 2, ....
  }
} *

chunkMap<T, R>(items: T[], chunkSize = 500,mapFunc?: (item: T[], index: number) => R[]): Array<R[]>

Takes an array of values and provides and an array of R[] for each index of chunkSize.

The mapFunc allows to transform the value of T into the new R value of a certain chunk of T.

chunkMap(testItems, 2);
/*
[
  [{id: 1, ...}, { id: 2,... }],
  [{ id: 3,... }, { id: 4, ... }],
  [{ id: 5,... }]
]
*/

chunkAsync(items: T[], chunkSize: number, func: (item: T[]) => Promise): Promise

Takes an array of items which loops though each chunk. Each chunk is sent to the promise delegate func.

chunkAsync(testItems, 500, (items) => {
  // Add Promise here
  return Promise.resolve();
}).then(
  () => console.log('completed'),
  (err) => console.error('failed')
);

distinct(values: T[]): T[]

Returns a distinct set of numbers or strings from the array of values

const values = ['a', 'b', 'a', 'c', '5', '12', 'b'];
distinct(values);
// ['a', 'b', 'c', '5', '12']

covertPartialToDotPathKeys(item: Partial): Record<string, unknown>

Converts a Partial into a Record<string, unknown>. Primarily created for the ability to update properties of a Firebase document.

type PlayerInfo = {
  fullName: {
    firstName: string;
    lastName: string;
  };
  active: boolean;
  number: number;
};

const value = {
  fullName: {
    lastName: 'Yzerman',
  },
  active: false,
  number: undefined,
} as Partial<PlayerInfo>;

const convertedKeyPath = covertPartialToDotPathKeys(value);

/*
Output: convertedKeyPath = {
  ['fullName.lastName']: 'Yzerman',
  ['active']: false
};
*/

String Utilities

formatString(template: string, data: Partial = {}): string

Allows for string interpolation of all the keys of the object data that's passed in. Only goes one level deep for the keys.

formatString('Welcome {{ firstName }} {{lastName}}', {
  firstName: 'Paul',
  lastName: 'Coffey',
});
// Welcome Paul Coffey

isEmptyOrWhiteSpace(obj: string): boolean

Checks if the string is empty or full of white space

isEmptyOrWhiteSpace(''); // true
isEmptyOrWhiteSpace('    '); //true

Uses the regex /^[a-z0-9._%+-]+@[a-z0-9.-]+\.[a-z]{2,4}$/; to check for a valid email.

isEmail('john@nowhere.com'); // true
isEmail(''); //false

isUrl(url: string): boolean

Uses the regex /^(http:\/\/www\.|https:\/\/www\.|http:\/\/|https:\/\/)?[a-z0-9]+([-.]{1}[a-z0-9]+)*\.[a-z]{2,5}(:[0-9]{1,5})?(\/.*)?$/; to check for a valid url.

isUrl('https://google.com'); // true
isUrl('https://ngserve.io.com'); // true
isUrl('asdfasdfasdfas'); // false

converToQueryStringParams(Record<string, StringOrNumber | boolean>)

Converts an object to querystring parameters. This will encode each value using the encodeURIComponent method.

convertToQueryStringParams({
  param1: 'hi',
  param2: 1
  param3: false
}); // param1=hi&param2=1&param3=false

Promise Utilities

wait(ms: number): Promise

Waits the number of miliseconds provided.

wait(1000).then(() => {
  console.log("it's been one second");
});

pick<T, K extends KeyOfType>(obj: T, keys: K[]): Pick<T, K>

Picks properties off of a particular object

const obj = {
  name: 'test',
  nestedObj: {
    firstName: 'hootie',
    lastName: 'hoo',
  },
  arr: [],
};

// { name: 'test', arr: [] }
const returnedObj = pick(obj, ['name', 'arr']);

omit<T, K extends KeyOfType>(obj: T, keys: K[]): Omit<T, K>

const obj = {
  name: 'test',
  nestedObj: {
    firstName: 'hootie',
    lastName: 'hoo',
  },
  arr: [],
};

// { name: 'test', nestedObj: { firstName: 'hootie', lastName: 'hoo' } }
const returnedObj = omit(obj, ['arr']);
