UResolver

JSON resolver

Overview

The resolve function is a utility designed to process and resolve fields of an object or an array of objects. It allows you to define custom resolvers for specific fields and provides an option to convert objects before resolving them. This function is useful for transforming data structures in a flexible and modular way.

Installation

yarn: yarn add uresolver

npm: npm i uresolver

cdn: https://unpkg.com/uresolver

module: https://unpkg.com/uresolver?module

To use the resolve function in your project, simply import it from your module:

import { resolve, virtual } from "uresolver";

Usage

Basic Usage

To use the resolve function, you need to define a set of resolvers for the fields you want to process. Each resolver is an asynchronous function that receives the field's value, the entire object being resolved, and the context. The resolve function returns a resolver object with a resolve method.

const resolvers = {
	name: async (value) => value.toUpperCase(),
	age: async (value) => value + 1,
};

const resolver = resolve(resolvers);

const data = { name: "Alice", age: 30 };

resolver.resolve(data, {}).then((resolved) => {
	console.log(resolved); // Output: { name: 'ALICE', age: 31 }
});

Using the Converter Option

You can provide a converter function in the options to transform objects before resolving them. The converter function receives the object and the context as arguments.

const converter = (data) => ({ ...data, converted: true });

const resolvers = {
	name: async (value) => value.toUpperCase(),
};

const resolver = resolve(resolvers, { converter });

const data = { name: "Alice" };

resolver.resolve(data, {}).then((resolved) => {
	console.log(resolved); // Output: { name: 'ALICE', converted: true }
});

Handling Nested Resolvers

The resolve function can handle nested objects by defining nested resolvers.

const resolvers = {
	name: async (value) => value.toUpperCase(),
	address: resolve({
		city: async (value) => value.toUpperCase(),
	}).resolve,
};

const resolver = resolve(resolvers);

const data = { name: "Bob", address: { city: "san francisco" } };

resolver.resolve(data, {}).then((resolved) => {
	console.log(resolved); // Output: { name: 'BOB', address: { city: 'SAN FRANCISCO' } }
});

Array Conversion

The resolve function can process arrays of objects.

const converter = (data) => {
	if (Array.isArray(data.items)) {
		data.items = data.items.map((item) => ({ ...item, converted: true }));
	}
	return data;
};

const resolvers = {
	items: async (value) => value,
};

const resolver = resolve(resolvers, { converter });

const data = {
	items: [
		{ name: "item1", price: 10 },
		{ name: "item2", price: 20 },
	],
};

resolver.resolve(data, {}).then((resolved) => {
	console.log(resolved);
	// Output: { items: [{ name: 'item1', price: 10, converted: true }, { name: 'item2', price: 20, converted: true }] }
});

Error Handling in Converter

If the converter function throws an error, it will be caught and handled appropriately.

const converter = (data) => {
	if (data.name === "Dave") {
		throw new Error("Conversion error");
	}
	return data;
};

const resolvers = {
	name: async (value) => value.toUpperCase(),
};

const resolver = resolve(resolvers, { converter });

resolver.resolve({ name: "Dave" }, {}).catch((err) => {
	console.error(err.message); // Output: Conversion error
});

Using Virtual Fields

The virtual utility allows you to define fields that are computed dynamically based on other fields in the object or additional context.

Example

const virtual = (resolver) => async (value, obj, context) => {
	return resolver(obj, context);
};

const userResolver = resolve({
	isDrinkingAge: virtual(async (user, context) => {
		const drinkingAge = await context.getDrinkingAge(user.country);
		return user.age >= drinkingAge;
	}),
	fullName: virtual((user, context) => {
		return `${user.firstName} ${user.lastName}`;
	}),
});

const context = {
	getDrinkingAge: async (country) => {
		const drinkingAges = {
			USA: 21,
			UK: 18,
			France: 18,
			Germany: 16,
		};
		return drinkingAges[country] || 18;
	},
};

const data = {
	firstName: "John",
	lastName: "Doe",
	age: 20,
	country: "USA",
};

userResolver.resolve(data, context).then((resolved) => {
	console.log(resolved);
	// Output: { isDrinkingAge: false, fullName: 'John Doe' }
});

API

resolve(resolvers, options)

Parameters

• resolvers (Object): An object where each key is a field name and each value is an asynchronous resolver function.
• options (Object): Optional settings.
  • converter (Function): A function to convert objects before resolving. Receives the object and context as arguments.

Returns

An object with a resolve method.

resolve.resolve(obj, context)

Parameters

• obj (Object|Array): The object or array of objects to resolve.
• context (Object): An optional context object passed to resolver functions.

Returns

A Promise that resolves to the transformed object or array of objects.

virtual(resolver)

Parameters

• obj (Object|Array): The object or array of objects to resolve.
• context (Object): An optional context object passed to resolver functions.

Returns

A function that can be used as a resolver in the resolve function.

Example

const converter = (data) => ({ ...data, converted: true });

const resolvers = {
	name: async (value) => value.toUpperCase(),
	age: async (value) => value + 1,
};

const resolver = resolve(resolvers, { converter });

const data = { name: "Alice", age: 30 };

resolver.resolve(data, {}).then((resolved) => {
	console.log(resolved); // Output: { name: 'ALICE', age: 31, converted: true }
});
