Dynamic Cast
var tiper = require('tiper'); // Simple var string = tiper.cast(12313, tiper.STRING); // String: '12313' var date = tiper.cast('12/01/30', tiper.DATE); // Date: Mon Jan 30 2012 00:00:00 GMT-0500 (COT) var number = tiper.cast('123', tiper.NUMBER); // Number: 123 ... // Extended var yearsPersons = { david: '19', lorena: '18' }; var yearsPersonsNumber = tiper.cast(yearsPersons, tiper.NUMBER); // Object: {david: 19, lorena: 18} var arrayMultiType = ['1','2', '3', 1, 3, new Date()]; var arrayOnlyNumber = tiper.cast(arrayMultiType, tiper.NUMBER); // Array: [ 1, 2, 3, 1, 3, 1424974791446 ] var exagerated = { array: [1,3,4,5,6], names: [{david: 19}, {lorena: 18}], object: { names: [1,2,3,/w+/], lastName: [12,'123',new Date()] } }; var onlyStrings = tiper.cast(exagerated, tiper.STRING); /* Object: { array: [ '1', '3', '4', '5', '6' ], names: [ { david: '19' }, { lorena: '18' } ], object: { names: [ '1', '2', '3', '/w+/' ], lastName: [ '12', '123', 'Thu Feb 26 2015 13:22:41 GMT-0500 (COT)' ] } } */
