Introduction

This module is implemented in ECMAScript 6 (v2015). Therefore the development dependencies are based on babel. Additionally eslint and mocha are used to grant a high quality implementation. Furthermore there are used some experimental features:

  • Function bind ::
  • Decorators
  • Class fields and static properties
  • Object spread properties

Glomb ['glɔmb] is Swabian term for something that doesn't work well or is difficult to handle. Should be an oxymoron/paradox :)

Installation

For installation use the Node Package Manager:

// production version with ES5 syntax
$ npm install --save glomb

or clone the repository:

// development version with ES6 syntax
$ git clone https://github.com/felixheck/Glomb

Usage

Every method tagged with @immutable returns a new instance of an array or object.

Contruct new instance

First you have to import the module:

// ES6 module syntax
import Glomb from 'glomb';

// Node traditional syntax
var Glomb = require('glomb').default;

Afterwards it is possible to create an empty instance:

const todos = new Glomb();

Alternatively pass single parameters of Object type:

const todos = new Glomb(todoNo1, todoNo2);

Or make use of destructuring and pass an array of objects:

const todos = new Glomb(...listOfTodos);

Glomb.all()

Get list of stored objects:

/**
 * @immutable
 *
 * @returns {Array.<?Object>} List of stored data
 */

todos.all();

Glomb.get()

Get stored object by MongoDB _id:

/**
 * @immutable
 *
 * @param {string} idx The ID to be searched for
 * @returns {Object} Single item or empty object
 */

const dataId = '507f191e810c19729de860ea';
todos.get(dataId);

Glomb.find()

Get stored objects matching a MongoDB _id or custom filter:

/**
 * @immutable
 *
 * @param {String | Function} cond The conditions to be searched for
 * @returns {Array.<?Object>} List of matched items
 */

todos.find(item => item.name == 'foo');

Glomb.has()

Check if stored data containing at least one matching object:

/**
 * @param {String | Function} cond The conditions to be searched for
 * @returns {boolean} Data contains at least one matching item
 */

todos.has(item => item.name == 'foo');

Glomb.insert()

Add new items to internal data storage:

/**
 * @immutable
 *
 * @param {Array.<?Object>} items The items to be pushed
 * @returns {number} List of data including the inserted items
 */

todos.insert(todoNo1, todoNo2);

Glomb.update()

Update matching items with passed fields:

/**
 * @immutable
 *
 * @param {String | Function} cond The conditions to be searched for
 * @param {Object} fields The fields to be updated
 * @returns {Array.<?Object>} List of data including the updated items
 */

import Glomb from 'glomb';

const { increment, decrement, unset } = Glomb.operations;

todos.update(dataId, {
    'foo.bar': 'bar',
    'foo.senseOfLife': increment(2),  // increment the current value by 2
    'foo.biest': decrement(),         // decrement the current value by 1
    'foo.todos[0].bar': unset()       // unset the property
});

Glomb.remove()

Remove matching items from internal data storage:

/**
 * @immutable

 * @param {String | Function} cond The conditions to be searched for
 * @returns {Array.<?Object>} The updated stored data
 */

todos.remove(item => item.name == 'foo');

Glomb.reset()

Purge the internal data storage

/**
 * @immutable
 *
 * @returns {Array} The empty list of stored data
 */

todos.reset();

Testing

First you have to install all dependencies:

$ npm install

To execute all unit tests once, use:

$ npm test

or to run the tests after each update, use:

$ npm start

To get information about the test coverage, use:

$ npm run coverage
