tsobjectutils

Some typescript objects I use in a couple repos.

The intended purpose is for marshalling JSON objects into objects in a sane "semi checked" way. (You can never really be that sure.)

Happy to accept additions, suggestions, etc.

Usage

Install:

npm install @arran4/tsobjectutils

Basic idealized / intended use:

export class User {
  constructor(
    props : Partial<Record<keyof User, unknown>> | null = null,
    public Email : string = GetStringPropOrDefault(props, "Email", ""),
    public Name : string = GetStringPropOrDefault(props, "Name", ""),
    public UserUID : string = GetStringPropOrDefault(props, "UserU0ID", ""),
    public Created : Date | null = GetDatePropOrDefault(props, "Created", null),
    public Modified : Date | null = GetDatePropOrDefault(props, "Modified", null),
  ) {}
}

By using the props component you both have created:

an option on how to initialize the object
an easy way to copy an object
an easy way to unmarshal a deseiralized json object into an object with some assurance as to the content
