slqnest

slqnest is a package that allows for better features making JavaScript coding easier. This package is in testing, so there are a lot of bad features (see "Warnings" section)

Downloading

make sure you have npm installed them run the terminal command:

$ npm install slqnest

it can be required without setting a variable:

require('slqnest');

What it does

as of this version...

• slqnest allows for Array.prototype.forEach to set values of an array,

// without slqnest
const array = [1, 2, 3];
array.forEach(element => {
    element++;
});
console.log(array); // [1, 2, 3]

// with slqnest
require('slqnest');
const array = [1, 2, 3];
array.forEach(element => {
    element++;
});
console.log(array); // [2, 3, 4]

• slqnest does the same for for(param of param),

// without slqnest
const array = [1, 2, 3];
for(element of array) {
    element++;
}
console.log(array); // [1, 2, 3]

// with slqnest
require('slqnest');
const array = [1, 2, 3];
for(element of array) {
    element++;
}
console.log(array); // [2, 3, 4]

• slqnest will fix non-whole number addition and subtraction,

// without slqnest
console.log(0.1 + 0.2); // 0.30000000000000004

// with slqnest
require('slqnest');
console.log(0.1 + 0.2); // 0.3

Turning on and off

you can turn off slqnest by using the keyword 'no slq', and you can turn it back on by using the keyword 'use slq' (kind of like 'use strict'):

require('slqnest');

'no slq'; // turning off
const array = [1, 2, 3];
for(element of array) {
    element++;
}
console.log(array); // [1, 2, 3]

'use slq'; // turning on
const array = [1, 2, 3];
array.forEach(element => {
    element++;
})
console.log(array); // [2, 3, 4]

Warnings

⚠ slqnest is currently in development, there can be bugs and defects

• anything before require('slqnest'); will be ran twice, while promises and intervals / timeouts will be terminated. (probably can't be fixed)

// before
console.log('before 1');
setTimeout(() => {
    console.log('before 2');
}, 1000);

require('slqnest');
// after
console.log('after 1');
setTimeout(() => {
    console.log('after 2');
}, 1000);

/* output: 

before 1
after 1
after 2

*/

• nothing will happen with requiring a file that uses slqnest. (probably can be fixed)

// file1
require('slqnest');
module.exports = 'hello world';

// file2
const file1 = require('./file1');
console.log('hi'); // no response
console.log(file1); // no response

• second argument of Array.prototype.forEach will be lost. (probably can be fixed)

• there can be up to 1-2 second downtime when running a file before it outputs anything, this is dependent on how big the file is. (probably can't be fixed)
