array-to-object-helper

Install with yarn add array-to-object-helper or npm i array-to-object-helper.

Ever had a situation when conversion from array to object looked way too verbose?

Promise.resolve([1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8])
.then(([one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight]) => 
  ({one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight}))

With this utility you can turn in into less verbose version:

const AtoO = require('array-to-object-helper');
 
Promise.resolve([1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8])
.then(AtoO(['one', 'two', 'three', 'four', 'five', 'six', 'seven', 'eight']))

Or even less verbose:

const {to} = require('array-to-object-helper');
 
Promise.resolve([1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8])
.then(to`{one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight}`)

This basically looks like a syntax sugar. Maybe one day js will have something similar built in.

This is also valid:

Promise.resolve([1,2]).then(to`{one, x-two,}`);
Promise.resolve([1,2,3]).then(to`{
  $,2,
  x-three
}`);

api

• AtoO(keysArray)(valuesArray): Object
• AtoO(valuesArray, keysArray): Object
• AtoO throws nice error if keysArray.length !== valuesArray.length or when length is 0
• AtoO.to`objectShapeFormat`(valuesArray): Object
• AtoO.to validates objectShapeFormat and throws nice error if format is not valid
