A library of data management functions.

Primary LanguageJavaScriptMIT LicenseMIT

@ngnjs/libdata

While this JavaScript library is maintained primarily by and for NGN, it is a standalone "cross-runtime" library (will work without NGN).

The library consists of common functions for managing primitive and low level elements of JavaScript (objects, arrays, booleans, etc).

Usage

See the working examples on Codepen.

Via CDN (Browser/Deno)

import * as DATA from 'https://cdn.skypack.dev/@ngnjs/libdata'

console.log(DATA)

Also available on JSDelivr.

Node

npm i @ngnjs/libdata -S

import * as DATA from '@ngnjs/libdata'
console.log(DATA)

Features

The NGN libdata library is a standalone library containing common data manipulation functions. This is significantly more primitive than the NGN Data module. This library contains methods for performing operations to a single data item, whereas the NGN Data module focuses on data modeling, bulk storage, and querying (amongst others).

Constants

NameDescription
dedupeDeduplicate an array.
forceArrayForce a value into an array.
forceBooleanForce a value into a boolean.
forceNumberForce a value into a number.
forceStringForce a value into a string.
objectA collection of object management methods, including all, any, exactly, require, extraneous, missing, mixin, serialize
typeOfReturns the data type of a value. This is more specific than the native `typeof` operator.
nullIfReturns null if the source value matches the provided value.
coalesceReturns the first non-null/defined value in a list of arguments.
coalescebSame as coalesce, but ignores blank/empty strings.
getPrimitiveReturns the primitive object/function of the specified type.
AdvancedSetThis is a Set, augmented with additonal methods: isSuperSet, concat, intersection, except, diff, and equal
GUIDGenerate a globally unique identifier.
UUIDGenerate a universally unique identifier.
NANOIDA very fast/efficient unique ID generator.
checksumCalculate the checksum of an object.
