wtb

what the box JavaScript dimension parser

npm install wtb --save

const wtb = require("wtb")

wtb(dimensions=0)

• dimensions are accepted in many formats shown in examples
• defaults to square
• negatives become positive
• handles any input without throwing errors
• string delimiter is any non numeric portion
• supports JavaScript number formats including integers, decimals, scientific notation
• plain objects support owned values while null objects support any depth
• returns an object with calculated properties whose values range from 0 to Infinity
  • area is the calculated width * height
  • aspect is the calculated aspect ratio width / height
  • height is the parsed height
  • width is the parsed width

squares

these examples are equivalent 30x30 squares

wtb(30)
wtb(-30)
wtb(3e2)
wtb(3E2)
wtb(30.0)
wtb("30")
wtb("30x30")
wtb("30X30")
wtb("30,30")
wtb("30_30")
wtb("30 30")
wtb("30  30")
wtb([30])
wtb([30, 30])
wtb({ width: 30 })
wtb({ height: 30 })
wtb({ width: () => 30 })

they return a square object

{
  area: 900,
  aspect: 1,
  width: 30,
  height: 30
}

rectangles

these examples are equivalent rectangles

 
wtb("30x20")
wtb("30 20")
wtb("30x20")
wtb("3e2x2e2")
wtb([30, 20])
wtb([30, 30])
wtb({ width: 30, height: 20 })
wtb({ width: () => 30, height: () => 20 })

they return a rectangular object

{
  area: 600,
  aspect: 1.5,
  width: 30,
  height: 20
}

aspect ratio

aspect can determine portrait vs landscape orientation

const orientation = wtb().aspect > 1 ? "landscape" : "portrait"

compatiblity

• compatible in Node.js or CommonJS or any web browser
• uses universal module definition pattern
• if online unbundled then wtb === window.wtb

have fun =)
