Utilities to help someone code the way Greg Little (dglittle) does. Based on https://github.com/dglittle/gl519
This utility library is compiled over the years by Greg Little to support his - minimum dependencies - maximum code lifetime - rely on the language vs the libraries - unique coding style. It consists of five distinct sections
-
glutils-js - These are functions that should/could have been part of the javascript language itself. Most of them enable a functional programming style - others are just fixes for well known deficiencies of javascript:
has,identity,each,map,filter,reduce,some,every,rename,min,max,find,range,size,deepEquals,keys,values,merge,clone,deepClone,pairs,object,pick,omit,setAdd,makeSet,inSet,setSub,bagAdd,listAdd,lerp,lerpCap,time,trim,lines,sum,sample,shuffle,randomInt,randomString,sort,sortDesc,toArray,ensure -
glutils-browser : Common helper functions for the browser.
escapeUnicodeChar,escapeString,escapeRegExp,escapeUrl,unescapeUrl,escapeXml,unescapeXml,getUrlParams,splitHorz,splitVert,dialog -
glutils-json : This set of utilities make it straightforward to persist whole javascript structures (including pointers, cycles) to a file.
decycle,recycle,json,unJson -
glutils-node : Common helper functions for node
serveOnExpress,read,write,print,exit,md5 -
glutils_promises : Simple but powerful fibers-based "real" promises
run,yield,p,parallel,consume,wget
Here is an example of using the promises:
var _ = require('glutils')
_.run(function () {
...
var user = _.p(db.users.findone({ username : username}, _.p()))
console.log(user)
...
}
npm install glutils
Here are my changes from the original gl519 repo
02/22/2014
- Added rename function in glutils-js section. (allows renaming of the keys of a hash based on map parameter)
02/17/2014 - Initial Commits
- pushed the tests in a test subfolder
- change test output into TAP (prepended OK, NOT OK, or # before each line of output)
- disable print() test and exit() tests - they were relying on human observation
- added npm test script - that tests using tap
- express serve the file statically at route /glutil instead of /gl519
- added MIT License file as specified in original package.json by dglittle
- added travis integration
