Prairie

Version 4 is ESM.

Add new fields/properties to an object based on the values of existing properties.

Composable utility functions that make it easy to edit/replace properties of objects. For best results learn about _.flow() and read the Lodash FP Guide.

All functions have been curried so they can be called with one argument at a time.

If you have used _.set() and _.update() but want more this is the library for you!

Table of Contents

createObj

Create a new object based path and value. Dot notation or an array of strings will result in nested objects.

Parameters

  • path (string | Array) The path used for key creation.
  • value any The thing used for value of key.

Examples

createObj('foo.bar', 'happy') // => { foo: { bar: 'happy' } }

createObj('foo', 'bar') // => { foo: 'bar' }

createObj('foo')('bar') // => { foo: 'bar' }

createObj('baz', { a: 1 }) // => { baz: { a: 1 } }

Returns Object New object with value placed on the last key of path.

toObject

Convert a collection into new object defined by path for key and value.

Parameters

Examples

toObject('a', 'b', [{a: 'a1', b: 'b2'}]) // => { a1: 'b2' }

Returns Object New object that is similar to map(getValue), keyBy(getKey).

setIn

Rearranged _.set args to setIn(path, object, value)

Type: function

Parameters

  • path string The path of the property to replace.
  • object Object The object that to set value on.
  • value any The value to place on path.

Examples

setIn('foo', {}, 'bar') // => { foo: 'bar' }

setIn('a', { b: 1 }, 2) // => { a: 2, b: 1 }

Returns Object New object with value set at path.

setVal

Rearranged _.set args to setVal(value, object, path)

Type: function

Examples

setVal(value, object, path)

setState

Normal lodash _.set with no rearg. setVal(object, path, value)

Examples

setVal(object, path, value)

setField

Set field. Like _.update but transformer is given the entire item instead of only the field.

Parameters

  • path string The path of the property to replace.
  • transformer Function Transformer given entire item. Return value set at path.
  • item Object The item to update field on.

Returns Object Item with path updated with result of transformer.

addField

Set field like setField but only if it's value is empty.

Parameters

  • path string The path of the property to replace.
  • transformer Function Transformer given entire item. Return value set at path.
  • item Object The item to update field on.

setFieldHas

Replace field only if it is already set. Transformer given entire item.

Parameters

  • path string The path of the property to replace.
  • transformer Function Transformer given entire item. Return value set at path.
  • item Object The item to update field on.

Returns Object Item with path updated with result of transformer.

replaceField

Replace field only if found. Transformer gets field value. Probably just use _.update() unless you want the check beforehand.

updateToWhen

Replace field with result of transformer when boolCheck return true.

Parameters

  • transformer Function Transformer given value at path of item. Return replacement value.
  • boolCheck Function A function that returns true when field should be replaced.
  • path string The path of the property to update.
  • item Object The item to conditionally update field on.

Examples

const toArray = updateToWhen(Array, _.isPlainObject, 'foo')
toArray({ foo: { a: 'happy' } }) // => { foo: [{ a: 'happy' }] }

Returns Object Item with conditional transformer applied to path.

updateTo

Rearranged _.update args to transformer, path, item

Parameters

  • transformer Function Transformer given value at path of item. Return replacement value.
  • path string The path of the property to get.
  • item Object The item to update field on.

Returns Object Item with transformer applied to property at path.

setFieldWith

Set field on item. Transformer given value of withId property.

Parameters

  • path string The path of the property to get.
  • withId string The path of the property to send to transformer.
  • transformer Function Transformer given value of withId property.

Returns ItemTransformer Result of transformer set at field item.

mergeFields

Replace item with result of transformer.

Parameters

  • transformer Function Accepts single param that is item. Should return a new Object.
  • item Object

Examples

mergeFields(({ a, b }) => ({ a4: a * 4, b3: b * 3 }), { a: 2, b: 3 });
// => { a: 2, b: 3, a4: 8, b3: 9 }

Returns Object Merged result of transformer on top of item.

mergeWith

Merge source on top of item.

Parameters

  • source Object Object to apply on top of item.
  • item Object Object that values of source will be applied.

Examples

mergeWith({ a: 1 })({ a: 2, b: 4 });
// => { a: 1, b: 4 }

Returns Object Merged result of surce on top of item.

mergeFieldsWith

Replace item. Transformer given value of withId property.

Parameters

  • withId string The path of the property to send to transformer.
  • transformer Function Sent item property at path of withId. Should return new Object.
  • item Object The object to work with.

Returns Object Result of transformer set at field item.

copy

Copy value of getPath to setPath only if getPath finds something. Otherwise item left untouched.

Parameters

  • getPath string The source path.
  • setPath string The destination path.
  • item Object The object to work with.

move

Move property from one names to another.

Parameters

Examples

move('foo', 'bar', { foo: 1, baz: 2 }) // => { bar: 1, baz: 2 }

Returns Object Result after the move. Value at getPath removed and added to setPath.

moveAll

Map some keys.

Parameters

  • renamer Function The function to send each key. Should return new key string.
