Details

orb-object types:

  • object: A JS object which is not an array or a null.
  • array: An Array.
  • primitive: JS types: bigint, boolean, number or string.
  • undefined: undefined.
  • null: null
  • unknown: Anything else like function or symbol etc.

APIs

copy

It performs a shallow copy of the input.

const o = {name: "copy", desc: "Shallow copies an object"}
const copied = copy(o) // A new container object is created to house the contents of o.
// Output: {name: "copy", desc: "Shallow copies an object"}

type

It classifies the input as one of the orb-object types.

const t = type(5)
// Output: primitive

const t = type('orb-array')
// Output: primitive

const t = type(['orb-array'])
// Output: array

const t = type({name: 'orb-array'})
// Output: object

is

is contains methods to perform type tests.

const istype = is.array([])
// Output: true

const istype = is.array({})
// Output: false

const istype = is.primitive('orb-array')
// Output: true

trim

trim trims a complex object based on the depth argument. It is perfect for situations that require a complex object to be logged. The default depth is 3.

const o = {name: 'orb-array', address: {house: 25, street: "ABC Street"}}
const r = trim(o, 1)
// Output: {name: 'orb-array', address: '.'}

const o = {name: 'orb-array', address: {house: 25, street: "ABC Street"}}
const r = trim(o)
// Output: {name: 'orb-array', address: {house: 25, street: "ABC Street"}}

gobject

gobject is short for good object. It transform an object as follows:

  • When the input is an array or an object, it is returned as-is.
  • When the input is a primitive, it is placed in an array.
  • When the input is null, undefined or unknown, an empty array is returned.
const o = ['orb-object', 1]
const goed = gobject(o)
// Output: ['orb-object', 1]

const o = 'orb-object'
const goed = gobject(o)
// Output: ['orb-object']

const o = null
const goed = gobject(o)
// Output: []
