Crackle

JavaScript predicate, comparator, equality, and utility functions

Crackle is collection of useful JavaScript functions for both the browser and server. Specifically it focuses on collection predicate operations, such as "all or nothing" verification, and also makes working with sets of jQuery Objects easier.

Getting started

Node.js

Install Crackle with NPM (Node Package Manager).

$ npm install crackle

var Crackle = require('crackle');

Web browser

Download and include crackle.min.js.

    <script src="crackle.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script> 
    <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
        var values = [1, 2, 3];
        var Is = Crackle.is;
        if (Is(1).in(values)) {
          alert(Crackle.not(values).in([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]));
        }
    </script>
