object-conform

object-conform allows you to ensure that objects conform to a model.

Installation

npm install --save object-conform

Usage

The module exports a single function: conform

var conform = require( 'object-conform' );
 
var model = {
    foo: 'foo',
    bar: [ 1, 2, 3 ],
    baz: {
        yak: true,
        emu: false
    }
};
 
var object = {
    extraneous: true,
    foo: 'otherfoo',
    baz: {
        yak: true,
        emu: false,
        extraneous: true
    }
};
 
var conformed = conform( {
    model: model,
    object: object
} );
 
console.log( JSON.stringify( conformed, null, 4 ) );

This will result in a conformed object, with extraneous fields removed and missing fields added, but with existing fields shared with the model preserved:

{
    "foo": "otherfoo",
    "bar": [
        1,
        2,
        3
    ],
    "baz": {
        "yak": true,
        "emu": false
    }
}
 

Contributing

Pull requests are very welcome! Just make sure your code:

1. Passes jshint given the included .jshintrc

2. Is beautified using jsbeautifier and the included .jsbeautifyrc

Why?

I wanted a simple, reusable way to ensure objects conformed to basic models.
