GitHub - nemesiaai/consis: A small Node.js library for type casting, http/s requests, object cloning, and other math, object, string, image, time and uuid helpers.

A small Node.js library for type casting, http/s requests, object cloning, and other math, object, string, image, time and uuid helpers.

Presentation

Many libraries exist in the Node.js sphere providing great helpers like Lodash and Ramda to name a few. This library is not intended to replace them but provide very simple, safe and lighter helpers.

Consistency is the key.

ECMAScript is not always consistent and this library is mostly used to give some foundation we can rely on.

Because even if null, undefined, NaN have a real technical sense, it can lead to some inconsistency and be a pain sometimes to check if a value exists or not.

This whole library is based on type checking that is another pain and sometimes we just don't want to use TypeScript or Flow but the native language.

Type casting is another example where Boolean('false'|'0') returns true while we would want it to return false or because Number(null) returns 0 and Number(undefined|NaN) returns NaN that in the end of the day makes the code inconsistent.

Deep cloning simple objects will also save your day from inexplicable object mutations. Because:

const obj = {
  foo: {
    bar: 5,
  },
};

const copy = Object.assign({}, obj); // or const copy = { ...obj };
copy.foo.bar = 'baz';

copy; // { foo: { bar: 'baz' } }
obj; // { foo: { bar: 'baz' } }

These helpers are mostly based on creator's own work and experimentation of the language. Only image helper is based on is-png and uuid helper on uuid-validate.

Usage

Import

Main

const consis = require('consis');

// consis is an object of helpers which are also objects
const {
  cast,
  encodings,
  Enum,
  image,
  math,
  object,
  requester,
  string,
  time,
  uuid,
} = require('consis');

Deep requires

const cast = require('consis/cast');
const encodings = require('consis/encodings');
const Enum = require('consis/Enum');
const image = require('consis/image');
const math = require('consis/math');
const object = require('consis/object');
const requester = require('consis/requester');
const string = require('consis/string');
const time = require('consis/time');
const uuid = require('consis/uuid');

consis <Object> with the following helpers.

Cast

Type casting helper.

Cast a value to a specific primitive type. If the value is not of this type or can not be inferred from this value, undefined is returned.

undefined is an interesting value because when stringifying an object, an undefined property disappears that can sometimes be useful.

Please note that numbers greater than the max safe integer will be assigned an undefined value.

cast <Object> with the following properties:

str(thing)

Cast thing to a primitive string if possible or returns undefined. Because String(undefined|null|NaN) returns a string 'undefined'|'null'|'NaN'.

thing <Any>
Returns: <String> | undefined

Examples:

str('hello'); // 'hello'
str(true); // 'true'
str(new String('string')); // 'string'
str(5.55); // '5.55'
str(undefined|null|NaN); // undefined

num(thing[, { ge, le } ])

Cast thing to a primitive number, with less or equal than or greater or equal than options, or returns undefined. Because Number(null) returns 0 and Number(undefined|NaN) returns NaN. Only for finite values.

thing<Any>
options<Object> Default: undefined
- ge<Number> Greater or equal than
- le<Number> Less or equal than
Returns: <Number> | undefined

Examples:

num(5); // 5
num('5'); // 5
num(0, { ge: 0 }); // 0
num(5, { le: 9 }); // 5
num(5, { ge: 0, le: 5 }); // 5
num(5, { ge: 0, le: 4 }); // undefined
num(new Number(5)); // 5
num(undefined|null|NaN); // undefined

int(thing[, { ge, le } ])

Cast thing to a primitive integer number, with less or equal than or greater or equal than options, or returns undefined. In base 10 only.

thing <Any>
options <Object> Default: undefined
- ge <Number> Greater or equal than
- le <Number> Less or equal than
Returns: <Integer Number> | undefined

Examples:

int(5.9); // 5
int('5.9'); // 5
int(0, { ge: 0 }); // 0
int(5.55, { le: 9 }); // 5
int(5.9, { ge: 0, le: 5 }); // 5
int(5.11, { ge: 0, le: 4 }); // undefined
int(undefined|null|NaN); // undefined

float(thing[, { ge, le } ])

Cast thing to a primitive float number, with less or equal than or greater or equal than options, or returns undefined. In base 10 only.

thing <Any>
options <Object> Default: undefined
- ge <Number> Greater or equal than
- le <Number> Less or equal than
Returns: <Float Number> | undefined

Examples:

float(5.9); // 5.9
float(0, { ge: 0 }); // 0
float(5.55, { le: 9 }); // 5.55
float(5.9, { ge: 0, le: 5 }); // undefined
float(5.11, { ge: 0, le: 5.12 }); // 5.11
float(undefined|null|NaN); // undefined

bool(thing)

Cast thing to a primitive boolean if possible or returns undefined. Because Boolean('false'|'0') returns true and Boolean(new Boolean(0)) returns true. A string value as 'false', 'true', '0', '1' and numbers 0 and 1 should be cast to a boolean.

thing <Any>
Returns: <Boolean> | undefined

Examples:

bool(true); // true
bool(new Boolean(true)); // true
bool('true'); // true
bool(1); // true
bool(0); // false
bool(undefined|null|NaN); // undefined
bool('hello'); // undefined

arr(thing[, allowEmpty])

Cast thing to a primitive array if possible or returns undefined. If allowEmpty is false and thing is an empty array then returns undefined. Please note that cast.arr doesn't make a deep copy of an array, prefer object.clone to do this and avoid possible mutations.

thing<Any>
allowEmpty<Boolean> Default: true
Returns: <Array> | undefined

Examples:

arr([5, 9]); // [5, 9]
arr([]); // []
arr([], false); // undefined
arr('[5, 9]'); // [5, 9]
arr(undefined|null|NaN); // undefined

date(thing)

Cast thing to a Date object or undefined if thing refers to an invalid date. Because new Date(null) returns 1970-01-01T00:00:00.000Z but new Date(undefined|NaN) returns Invalid Date.

thing <Any>
Returns: <Date> | undefined

Examples:

date('2011-02-23T12:05:44+01:00'); // Date instance 2011-02-23T11:05:44.000Z
date([]); // undefined
date({}); // undefined
date(undefined|null|NaN); // undefined

round(n[, nbDecimals])

Round n with an optional number of decimals.

n <Number> | <String>
nbDecimals <Number> Min: 0 Max: 100 Default: 0
Returns: <String> | undefined

Examples:

round('5.9'); // '6'
round(5.77); // '6'
round(5.77, -1); // '6'
round(5.77, 101); // '6'
round(5.77, 2); // '6.00'
round(5.22, 3); // '5.220'
round(5.22, 1); // '5.2'
round(5, 5); // '5.00000'
round(undefined|null|NaN); // undefined

precision(n[, nbDecimals])

Format n with a specified number of decimals.

n <Number> | <String>
nbDecimals <Number> Min: 1 Default: 1
Returns: <String> | undefined

Examples:

precision('5.9'); // '5.9'
precision('5.99'); // '5.9'
precision(5.9); // '5.9'
precision(5.99, -1); // '5.9'
precision(5.99, 0); // '5.9'
precision(5.777, 5); // '5.77700'
precision(5.777, 2); // '5.77'
precision(undefined|null|NaN); // undefined

isISOStringDate('2020-01-25T00:00:00.000Z'); // true
isISOStringDate('2020-01-25'); // false
isISOStringDate(''|undefined|null|NaN); // false

toLocaleISOString(d)

Get the locale ISO 8601 formatted string for a specified date.

d <Date>
Returns: <String> | <undefined>

Examples:

const d = new Date('2020-01-25T15:58:37.181Z');
d.toISOString(); // '2020-01-13T15:58:37.181Z'
toLocaleISOString(d); // '2020-01-13T16:58:37.181Z' (Paris time)
toLocaleISOString(undefined|null|NaN); // undefined

timeout(ms, promise)

Set a timeout to a promise being resolved.

Note: There is at the moment no way to cancel the promise execution even though this function can make you manage the execution time of a promise, although you can cancel the execution by another way like using an AbortSignal to abort an HTTP request for an example (Node v15.3.0+).

ms <Number> Time in milliseconds. Min: 0 Default: 0.
promise <Promise>
Returns: <Promise>
- Resolve: <Any> Data resolved by promise
- Throws: <PromiseTimeoutError>

Examples:

// to be run in an async function
const ac = new AbortController();

try {
  const res = await timeout(5000, requester({
    url: 'http://google.fr',
    signal: ac.signal,
  }));

  // ...
} catch (e) {
  if (e.code === 'PROMISE_TIMEOUT') {
    ac.abort();
  }
}

ms

Get times in milliseconds.

ms <Object>
- minute <Number>
- hour <Number>
- day <Number>
- week <Number>
- month <Number>

getDate({ [d, add, subtract] })

Returns the current date or the date passed as argument and adds/subtract any time from minute, hour, day, week or month.

d <Date> | <String>
add <Object>
subtract <Object>
Returns: <Date>

Examples:

getDate(); // returns current date
getDate({ d: '2020-01-25T15:58:37.181Z', add: { day: 2 }, subtract: { minute: 5 } }); // 2020-01-27T15:53:37.181Z (as a Date instance)

Uuid

Uuid helper.

uuid <Object> with the following properties:

isValidUUID(thing[, version])

Whether a string is a valid uuid in a specified version.

thing <String>
version <String> Min: 0 Max: 4 Default: 4.
Returns: <Boolean>

Examples:

isValidUUID('ed94d970-3620-11ea-9dee-255c978dde81', 1); // true
isValidUUID('ed94d970-3620-11ea-9dee-255c978dde81', 5); // false
isValidUUID('0b5cce8d-f392-4636-a9c4-fee990d0ce5e'); // true
isValidUUID(''|undefined|null|NaN, undefined|null|NaN); // false

Environment variables

NODE_DEBUG: used to debug requester helper.

Examples:
- NODE_DEBUG=requester will debug requester helper.
- NODE_DEBUG=* will debug requester helper plus other modules used in your project like fs, http, etc and using native util.debuglog debug function.
