Type aliases

Class

Ƭ Class: object

Defined in util/types.ts:1

Type declaration:

Defined in util/types.ts:13

Object key or arrau index.

---

KeyOfMap

Ƭ KeyOfMap: M extends Map<infer K, unknown> ? K : never

---

Path

Ƭ Path: string | number | Array‹string | number›

Defined in util/types.ts:5

---

SetFunction

Ƭ SetFunction: function

Defined in util/types.ts:42

Returned value from this function is used as new value to be set.

Type declaration:

▸ (value: S[K], key: K, source: S, root: any): S[K]

qefjewoıh

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
value	S[K]	is the current value of given key/index.
key	K	is the current key/index of value to be replaced.
source	S	is the object/array/Map which has the key/index.
root	any	is the root object/array/Map.

---

Source

Ƭ Source: Array‹any› | Map‹any, any› | Record‹any, any›

Defined in util/types.ts:3

Variables

Const defaultAtomicClasses

• defaultAtomicClasses: Class[] = [Date, RegExp]

Defined in util/helper.ts:7

List of default atomic classes.

Functions

get

▸ get<S>(source: S, path: Path, defaultValue?: any): any

Defined in immutable-object-path.ts:89

Gets the property value at path of object/array/Map. If the resolved value is undefined the defaultValue is used in its place.

Type parameters:

▪ S: Source

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
source	S	is the object/array/map to query.
path	Path	is the path of the property to get.
defaultValue?	any	is the value returned if the resolved value is undefined.

Returns: any

the resolved value.

---

has

▸ has<S>(source: S, path: Path): any

Defined in immutable-object-path.ts:106

Checks if path is a direct property of object/array/Map.

Type parameters:

▪ S: Source

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
source	S	is the object/array/Map to query.
path	Path	is the path to check.

Returns: any

whether path is a direct property of object/array/Map.

---

set

▸ set<S>(source: S, path: Path, value: any, __namedParameters: object, root: any): any

Defined in immutable-object-path.ts:25

Sets the property value of path on object/array/Map immutably without changing input. If a portion of path does not exist it's created. Provided atomicClasses is used to determine which type of objects are treated as atomic. Atomic classes are treated like primitives pretending they don't have attributes. See example below. If preferMap is true, when new objects are needed, they are created as Map instead of object.

Example

const a = set({ x: new Date() }, "x.y", 3); // 3 is not assigned to atomic class Date. Insted it is replaced: { x: { y: 3 } }
const b = set({ x: { z: 1 } }, "x.y", 3); // 3 is not assigned to `x.y`: { x: { y: 3, z: 1 } }
const c = set({ }, "x.y", 3); // 3 is not assigned to `x.y`: { x: { y: 3 } }
const c = set({ }, "x.y", 3, { preferMap: true }); // Map([[x, new Map([[y, 3]])]]);

Type parameters:

▪ S: Source

Parameters:

▪ source: S

is the object/array/map to set.

▪ path: Path

is the path of the property to set.

▪ value: any

is the value to set.

▪Default value __namedParameters: object= {}

are options.

Name	Type	Default	Description
atomicClasses	object[]	defaultAtomicClasses	Atomic classes are treated like a scalar, because MOST PROBABLY user did not intend to update a property of it. Instead they want to replace it.
preferMap	boolean	false	If an attribute for a non-existing object should be created, whether to create a Map instead of object.

▪Default value root: any= source

Returns: any

new object/array/Map.

---

unset

▸ unset<S>(source: S, path: Path, __namedParameters: object): any

Defined in immutable-object-path.ts:52

Removes the property at path of object and returns it. Does not change input value.

Type parameters:

▪ S: Source

Parameters:

▪ source: S

is the object/array/map to unset a value.

▪ path: Path

is the path of the property to unset.

▪Default value __namedParameters: object= {}

are options.

Name	Type	Default	Description
atomicClasses	object[]	defaultAtomicClasses	Atomic classes are treated like a scalar, because MOST PROBABLY user did not intend to update a property of it. Instead they want to replace it.
preferMap	boolean	false	If an attribute for a non-existing object should be created, whether to create a Map instead of object.
unsetEmpty	boolean	true	After unsetting a key/index if object/array/Map becomes empty, it is also unset in parent.

Returns: any

new object/array/Map.
