Lotide

A mini clone of the Lodash library.

Purpose

BEWARE: This library was published for learning purposes. It is not intended for use in production-grade software.

This project was created and published by Chelsea Dwarika/@chchchelsay as part of my learnings at Lighthouse Labs.

Install it:

npm install @chchchelsay/lotide

Require it:

const _ = require('@chchchelsay/lotide');

Call it:

const results = _.tail([1, 2, 3]) // => [2, 3]

Clone this github repository: git clone git@github.com:chchchelsay/lotide.git
npm init
npm install --save-dev mocha@9.2.2 chai
update package.json file to say "scripts": { "test": "mocha" }
npm test to test all files with mocha/chai tests available
npm test test/headTest.js to test a specific file (in this case the head.js function)

The following functions are currently implemented:

assertArraysEqual(): compares two arrays and logs assertion message to console
assertEqual(): compares two values and logs assertion message to console
assertObjectsEqual(): compares two objects and logs assertion message to console
countLetters(): takes in string and returns count of each letter occurrence in string
countOnly(): takes in array & input object; returns new object with counts of everything listed by input object
eqArrays(): compares two arrays and returns true/false based on a perfect match
eqObjects(): compares two objects and returns true/false based on a perfect match
findKey(): takes in object & callback; returns first key in object that matches callback ===/else undefined
findKeyByValue(): takes in object & value; looks through object and returns first key that matches value/ else undefined
flatten(): 'flattens' an array that contains nested arrays of elements into a new un-nested one
head(): returns first item in an array
letterPositions(): returns indices for where each character is found in a string
map(): takes in array & callback function; returns new array based on callback function results
tail(): returns everything BUT the first item/head in an array
takeUntil(): takes in array and callback function; returns slice of array elements until callback function evaluates to true.
middle(): returns middle-most element(s) of an array
without(): returns subset of given array without specified unwanted elements
