jado

jado - a javascript data objects library

Jado is a small library for treating any javascript objects as iterables. This allows generic (iterated) operations to be applied to any object type blindly which is useful some code and testing operations where the type is not known beforehand and some items may be singletons.

Note that many libraries (underscore etc) provide some measure of this on objects and have higher peformance for those ops. Also the Javascript Iterable was introduced after this library was written.

Test and build packages updated for simple release.

Features

• works in both server side (node_js and browser) and provided in both source and minified forms
• no dependancies on any other libraries
• OSI approved open-source.

Installation (server side)

npm install jado --save

Usage

jado can be used in a browser or nodejs (server) and has no dependancies.

Browser: Including jado in the browser:

In a browser just include script tags:

<script type="text/javascript" src="./jado.min.js"></script>

or via CDN

<script type="text/javascript" src="./jado.min.js"></script>

In nodejs

var jado = require('./jado.js');  //adds to current scope

Simple Code Example (same usage in either browser or nodejs)

//this works like an array.map
jado.map([23,25],function(x){return x+1}) // returns [24, 26]

//this works the same way, note that the result is also a singleton
jado.map(23,function(x){return x+1})  // returns 24 



//==================================
// jado also includes a stats object for counting keys and values called jado.cset:
// using the counting set jado.cset()
x = jado.cset()
x.add(2);  //add the key 2  ===> key 2 , count: 1
x.add(3);  //add the key 3  ===> key 3 , count: 1
x.add(3);  // key 3 ==>, count: 2
x.keys();  // returns [2,3]
x.add(4);  // returns [2,3,4]
x.add(7);  // returns [2,3,4,7]

//stats on the counts of the keys
x.avg();   // returns 1.25   // avg of the counts on the keys
x.std();   // returns 0.433  // std dev of the counts 
x.vari();  // returns 0.1875

More examples in the examples folder (TBD) The project works but I moved on to other things. Build just updated for NPM.
