This command will add @push.rocks/smartobject to your project's package.json file and download the package to the node_modules directory.

Usage

This module provides a convenient way to work with JavaScript objects, offering utilities for deep object manipulation, comparison, and more. Below are detailed examples of how to utilize @push.rocks/smartobject in a variety of use cases. Always use ESM syntax in combination with TypeScript for the best developer experience.

Importing the Module

Before you can use the functionalities provided by smartobject, you need to import the required classes or functions into your TypeScript file.

import {
  SmartObject,
  fastDeepEqual,
  smartGet,
  smartAdd,
  compareObjects,
  forEachMinimatch
} from '@push.rocks/smartobject';

Working with SmartObject

The SmartObject class is a wrapper around a standard JavaScript object that provides additional capabilities for manipulating and querying the object.

Creating a SmartObject

// Original JavaScript object
const originalObject = {
  level1: {
    level2: 'value',
  },
};

// Creating a SmartObject
const smartObj = new SmartObject(originalObject);

Adding and Retrieving Values

// Adding a new value
smartObj.addValueAtFlatPathString('level1.newKey', 'newValue');

// Retrieving a value
const value = smartObj.getValueAtFlatPathString('level1.level2');
console.log(value); // Output: 'value'

Converting to a Flat Object

const flatObject = smartObj.toFlatObject();
console.log(flatObject); // Output: { 'level1.level2': 'value', 'level1.newKey': 'newValue' }

Deep Object Comparison

compareObjects allows you to compare two objects and get detailed information about their differences.

const obj1 = {name: 'John', age: 30};
const obj2 = {name: 'John', age: 31};

const comparisonResult = compareObjects(obj1, obj2);
console.log(comparisonResult);

Deep Object Manipulation

smartAdd and smartGet enable deep manipulation and querying of objects using dot notation paths.

// Using smartAdd to add a deep-nested property
const obj = {};
smartAdd(obj, 'user.info.name', 'Jane Doe');

// Using smartGet to retrieve a deep-nested property
const name = smartGet(obj, 'user.info.name');
console.log(name); // Output: Jane Doe

Iterating over Object Properties with Minimatch Patterns

forEachMinimatch provides a way to execute a function for each object property that matches a given minimatch pattern.

const userObj = {
  'user.name': 'John Doe',
  'user.age': 30,
  'config.theme': 'dark',
};

forEachMinimatch(userObj, 'user.*', (value, key) => {
  console.log(key, value);
});

This module leverages the power of TypeScript to offer robust typing and intelligent auto-completion, making it easier to work with complex objects and avoid common pitfalls. Whether you are manipulating deeply nested properties, comparing object differences, or iterating over specific object keys, @push.rocks/smartobject provides a versatile toolkit to streamline your object handling logic.
