KeyKey is a micro utility module which provides a consistent way to declare constants. KeyKey achieves a very simple task, but it tries to do so in a way that will encourage innovative use. KeyKey offers functional programming capabilities by allowing keys to be passed individually or via an array. KeyKey makes constants not just from strings, but also from any JavaScript object. It caches the resulting key mirrors, making subsequent calls faster. And this cache is accessible if needed, which could provide an interesting look into constants across your application. Check out the performance test in /test.

Plus, hey—no unnecessary nulls.

Install

npm install keykey

Quick Start

Create constants with caching

const keykey = require('keykey')

// Arrays of keys
keykey(['foo','bar','baz']) // result -> {foo:'foo',bar:'bar',baz:'baz'}

// Individual keys
keykey('foo',true,'baz') // bools, if not in the final position, are treated as keys

Bypass the cache

keykey(['foo','bar','baz'], false) // no get/set
keykey('foo','bar','baz', false) // bools in the final position are treated as a cache switch

Clear the entire cache

keykey.reset() // or 
keykey.resetCache()
