stringray
Module that transforms a JS Array
into a single String
of newline-separated elements.
Getting started.
$ npm install stringray
Let's say you have a JSON Array
dataset with 50 songs, where each element is an Object
with 20+ keys. Once converted, stringray can convert these songs into a a single String
of newline-separated elements. Specifically, it will:
- process
null
elements on conversion, - converts
Function
elements to a '[Function : Function]' string, and - adds a newline at the end of every result
When used in conjunction with the split and through modules, you can consume and process each song one at a time as you wish.
Examples.
// JavaScript Usage var stringray = ; // Instead of doing this... var ceeDee = "c" : 3 "d" : 4; var output = ''; for var i = 0 il = ceeDeelength obj; i < il; i++ obj = ceeDeei; output += JSON + '\n' console; //=> '{"c":3}\n{"d":4}\n' // stringray does the above in a single line. //=> '{"c":3}\n{"d":4}\n' // stringray writes `null` to the output. //=> 'null\n1\n2\n' // Any function elements are converted to a `[Function: Function]` string //=> '[Function: Function]\n'
# CoffeeScript Usage stringray = require 'stringray' nest = artist: 'Slakah the Beatchild ft. Ebrahim' title: 'This Beautiful Feeling' meta: time: 231 tags: 'neo-soul''summer vibes''slakah''ebrahim' stringraynest # =>'{"artist":"Slakah the Beatchild ft. Ebrahim","title":"This Beautiful Feeling","meta":{"time":231,"tags":["neo-soul","summer vibes","slakah","ebrahim"]}}\n'
