Util functions and classes

• Expose some Lodash functions
• Exports additional helpers

The main inspiration on my work is PHP Laravel Framework which I love because of its simplicity and beauty of code.

First of all I created this to support development of Kernel Framework.
Just like the rest of the packages that make up the framework, I make the most of other existing libraries that are well tested on a day-to-day basis. The idea is not to reinvent the wheel, just join the ideas in a lightweight framework (the focus is on the client side), simple to use and make the code on the front more beautiful and organized.

npm install @kernel-js/support

• env
• isArray
• isObject
• isEmpty
• isNotEmpty
• toBoolean
• removeEmpty
• mapEmptyToNull

• camelCase

• find
• floor
• get
• has
• hasIn
• head
• keysIn
• last
• set
• snakeCase
• startCase
• map
• mapValues

Gets the value of an environment variable.

env(key, [defaultValue])

Arguments

• key - the path to the property you want. You can use dot notation on nested objects
• defaultValue - the optional default value when the key was not found

// Examples
env('NODE_ENV');
env('app.name');
env('app.name', 'My Default App Name');

Return a boolean if the informed value is of Array type.

isArray(value)

Arguments

• value - any value

// Example
isArray([]); // True
isArray({}); // False
isArray(''); // False

Return a boolean if the informed value is of Object type.

isObject(value)

Arguments

• value - any value

// Example
isObject({}); // True
isObject([]); // False
isObject(''); // False

Check if the informed value is empty. This is a little different of lodash behaviour,
booleans are not considered empty and ' ' for example is considered empty.

isEmpty(value)

Arguments

• value - any value

// Examples
isEmpty(true); // false
isEmpty(null); // true
isEmpty(undefined); // true
isEmpty(' '); // true
isEmpty({}); // true
isEmpty([]); // true

Just the oposite of isEmpty.

isNotEmpty(value)

Arguments

• value - any value

// Examples
isNotEmpty(true); // true
isNotEmpty(null); // false
isNotEmpty(undefined); // false
isNotEmpty(' '); // false
isNotEmpty({}); // false
isNotEmpty([]); // false

Converts a give string or number into boolean or return null when cannot convert it.

toBoolean(value)

Arguments

• value - any value

// Examples
toBoolean(1); // true
toBoolean('true'); // true
toBoolean('yes'); // true
toBoolean('on'); // true
toBoolean(0); // false
toBoolean('false'); // false
toBoolean('no'); // false
toBoolean('off'); // false
toBoolean('lorem ipsum'); // null

Removes any empty property from object using isEmpty helper.

removeEmpty(value)

Arguments

• value - any object

// Example
removeEmpty({"a": " ", "b": "b value", "c": null}); // {"b": "b value"}

Converts any empty property of object to null using isEmpty helper.

mapEmptyToNull(value)

Arguments

• value - any object

// Example
mapEmptyToNull({"a": " ", "b": "b value", "c": null, "d": {}}); // {"a": null, "b": "b value", "c": null, "d": null}
