invoke-before-after

Tell your methods when to invoke by just naming them that way.

why?

  • You want your methods to do only one thing.
  • Small bundle size (1.4kB MINIFIED) - (648B MINIFIED + GZIPPED).

Installing

Using npm:

npm install invoke-before-after

Usage

// CommonJS
const {invokeMeWrapper} = require('invoke-before-after')

// ES modules
import {invokeMeWrapper} from 'invoke-before-after'

API

invokeMeWrapper(target, [options])

wraps a target (class/object) with a special proxy/wrapper and provid it back to you as a class/object. the method inside your object or class can invoke dynamically (without you calling them).

target :

A class or object that its methods should be proxied.

options :

  • invokeAfterName

    • Type: string
    • Default: invokeAfter

    A prefix for methods' name that should invoke after the targeted method.

    Assuming the targeted method is getUsers, and the prefix is invokeAfter. Then a method called invokeAfterGetUsers will invoke automatically after getUsers get invoked.

  • invokeBeforeName

    • Type: string
    • Default: invokeBefore

    A prefix for methods' name that should invoke before the targeted method.

    Assuming the targeted method is getUsers, and the prefix is invokeBefore. Then a method called invokeBeforeGetUsers will invoke automatically before getUsers get invoked.

  • disableCamelCase

    • Type: boolean
    • Default: false

    By default, the letter after the prefix should be uppercase. Set this to true will add the name of the targeted method as it is after the prefix.

    Assuming the targeted method is getUsers, and the prefix of invokeAfterName is invokeAfter. Set disableCamelCase to true will make invokeAftergetUsers the right function to invoke after getUsers instead of invokeAfterGetUsers.

Example

With classes :

class User {
   constructor(name) {
      this.name = name;
      this.updatedAt = new Date().toLocaleDateString()
   }

   updateName(name) {
      this.name = name;
      console.log('"name" updated')
   }
   
   // this method will be invoked after "updateName" method,
   // since it has "invokeAfter" then the name of the method
   // as the first letter of that method is uppercased
   invokeAfterUpdateName(){
      this.updatedAt = new Date().toLocaleDateString()
      console.log('"updatedAt" updated')
   }
}

const UserWrapper = invokeMeWrapper(User)
const newUser = new UserWrapper('Mark')

newUser.updateName()
// output : 
// "name" updated
// "updatedAt" updated

With objects :

const developer = invokeMeWrapper({
    sleep: function () {
      console.log('**sleeping**')
    },
    
    // this method will be invoked after "sleep" method,
    // since it has "invokeBefore" then the name of the method
    // as the first letter of that method is uppercased
    invokeBeforeSleep: function() {
      console.log('**yawning**')
    }
})

developer.sleep()

// output : 
// **yawning**
// **sleeping**

with options

custom names :

class User {
    constructor(name) {
      this.name = name
      this.updatedAt = new Date().toLocaleDateString()
   }
   
    updateName(name) {
      this.name = name
      console.log('"name" Updated')
    }
    
    // should invoke before 'updateName' method,
    // since we chose '$' for 'invokeBeforeName' 
    $UpdateName(name) {
      console.log(`new name : ${name}`)
    }
   
   // should invoke after 'updateName' method,
   // since we chose '_' for 'invokeAfterName' 
   _UpdateName(name) {
      this.updatedAt = new Date().toLocaleDateString()
      console.log('"updatedAt" updated')
   }

}

const UserWrapper = invokeMeWrapper(User, {
    invokeAfterName: '_',
    invokeBeforeName: '$',
})

const dev = new UserWrapper('Peter')
dev.updateName('Mark')

// output: 
// new name : Peter
// "name" Updated
// "updatedAt" updated

Disable camelCase :

class User {
   sayHi() {
       console.log('saying hi')
   }
   
   // should invoke before 'sayHi' method,
   // since we chose '_' for 'invokeAfterName' 
   // and disable the camelcase naming convention
   _sayHi(){
       console.log('I said hi :)')
   }
}

User = invokeMeWrapper(User, {
   invokeAfterName: '_',
   disableCamelCase: true
})

const dev = new User()
dev.sayHi()

// output: 
// I'm gonna say hi
// saying hi
// I said hi :)
