Methods

(static) buildMap(subject, selector, valueTemplateopt, keyTemplateopt, filteropt) → {*}

With the help of the function buildMap(), maps can be easily created from data objects.

Either a simple definition a.b.c or a template ${a.b.c} can be specified as the path. Key and value can be either a definition or a template. The key does not have to be defined.

The templates determine the appearance of the keys and the value of the map. Either a single value id can be taken or a composite key ${id} ${name} can be used.

If you want to access values of the parent data set, you have to use the ^ character ${id} ${^.name}.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Attributes
`subject`	*
`selector`	string \| Monster.Data~exampleSelectorCallback
`valueTemplate`	string	<optional>
`keyTemplate`	string	<optional>
`filter`	Monster.Data~exampleFilterCallback	<optional>

Throws:

value is neither a string nor a function
Type
TypeError
the selector callback must return a map
Type
TypeError

Returns:

Type:: *

Example

import {buildMap} from '@schukai/monster/source/data/buildmap.mjs';
// a typical data structure as reported by an api

let map;
let obj = {
    "data": [
        {
            "id": 10,
            "name": "Cassandra",
            "address": {
                "street": "493-4105 Vulputate Street",

    ]
};

// The function is passed this data structure and with the help of the selector `'data.*'` the data to be considered are selected.
// The key is given by a simple definition `'id'` and the value is given by a template `'${name} (${address.zip} ${address.city})'`.
map = buildMap(obj, 'data.*', '${name} (${address.zip} ${address.city})', 'id');
console.log(map);

// ↦ Map(3) {
//  '10' => 'Cassandra (52628 Saumur)',
//  '20' => 'Holly (952340 Schwalbach)',
//  '30' => 'Guy (420729 Panchià)'
// }

// If no key is specified, the key from the selection, here the array index, is taken.
map = buildMap(obj, 'data.*', '${name} (${address.zip} ${address.city})');
console.log(map);

// ↦ Map(3) {
//  '0' => 'Cassandra (52628 Saumur)',
//  '1' => 'Holly (952340 Schwalbach)',
//  '2' => 'Guy (420729 Panchià)'
// }

// a filter (function(value, key) {}) can be specified to accept only defined entries.
map = buildMap(obj, 'data.*', '${name} (${address.zip} ${address.city})', 'id', function (value, key) {
    return (value['id'] >= 20) ? true : false
});
console.log(map);

// ↦ Map(2) {
//  20 => 'Holly (952340 Schwalbach)',
//  30 => 'Guy (420729 Panchià)'
// }

(static) diff(first, second) → {array}

With the diff function you can perform the change of one object to another.

With the diff function you can perform the change of one object to another. The result shows the changes of the second object to the first object.

The operator add means that something has been added to the second object. delete means that something has been deleted from the second object compared to the first object.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
`first`	*
`second`	*

Since: 1.6.0

Returns:

Type:: array

Example

import {Diff} from '@schukai/monster/source/data/diff.mjs';

// given are two objects x and y.

let x = {
    a: 1,
    b: "Hello!"
}

let y = {
    a: 2,
    c: true
}

// These two objects can be compared with each other.

console.log(Diff(x, y));

// the result is then the following

//
// [
// {
//        operator: 'update',
//        path: [ 'a' ],
//        first: { value: 1, type: 'number' },
//        second: { value: 2, type: 'number' }
//    },
// {
//        operator: 'delete',
//        path: [ 'b' ],
//        first: { value: 'Hello!', type: 'string' }
//    },
// {
//        operator: 'add',
//        path: [ 'c' ],
//        second: { value: true, type: 'boolean' }
//    }
// ]
