This library is a collection of helpful methods and monkey patches for Arrays, Objects, Numbers, and Strings in Javascript. Start writing your Javascript like you write your Ruby code!

Works in the Browser and in NodeJS.

Methods Implemented

Generic

These methods are available on all types that inherit from Object which is almost everything.

var cb = function(){ };
var str = "";
var array = [];
 
str.equals(array); // returns bool
 
str.isBlank(); // returns bool
// collections are blank if length == 0
 
str.isPresent(); // return bool
// collections are present if length > 0
 
array.presence(); // returns self or false
// same thing as: array.isPresent() ? array : false;
 
cb.simpleType(); // return str
// possible return values are 'Object','Array','String','Boolean','Number','Function','Other'
 
// return value or false
str.try('length'); // => 0
array.try('sort'); // => []
str.try('badMethod').try('anotherBadMethod'); // => false

Array

var array = [];
 
var cb = function(val, i){ };
 
array.any(cb=null) // returns bool
 
array.all(cb=null) // returns bool
 
array.compact(badValues=[null, undefined, '']) // returns array, accepts array or splat arguments
  
array.dig(*args) // returns value, accepts splat arguments or array
 
array.each(function(val, i){ })
 
array.empty() // return bool
 
array.equals(array) // returns bool
 
array.excludes(val, fromIndex=0) //  returns bool
 
array.find(cb_or_val) // returns value, undefined if not found
 
array.findIndex(cb_or_val) // returns integer, undefined if not found
 
array.first() // returns value
 
array.flatten() // returns array
 
array.includes(val, fromIndex=0) // returns bool
 
array.inGroupsOf(int, fillWith=false) // returns nested array
 
array.groupBy(cb) // returns nested array
 
array.last // returns value
 
array.max(cb=null) // returns value
 
array.maxBy(cb=null) // returns value
 
array.min(cb=null) // returns value
 
array.minBy(cb=null) // returns value
 
array.reject(cb) // reutrns array
 
array.select(cb) // returns array
 
array.tap(cb); // returns array
// this is an each method that returns the original array after its done
 
array.smartIncludes(val, fromIndex=0) // returns bool
// smart meaning that it uses `equals` method to compare if item is Array or Object
 
array.smartExcludes(val, fromIndex=0) // returns bool
// smart meaning that it uses `equals` method to compare if item is Array or Object
 
array.sum(cb=null) // returns number
 
array.uniq(cb=null) // returns array
 
 
/* CLASS METHODS - Not available in Typescript */
 
Array.range(startNumber, endNumber, step=1) // returns array

Object (Hash)

var obj = {};
 
// Monkey-patching Object is very dangerous, so we only patch it with one method
obj = obj.rearmed(); 
 
var cb = function(key, val){ };
 
obj.all(cb=null) // returns bool
 
obj.any(cb=null) // returns bool
 
obj.compact(badValues=[null, undefined, '']) // returns object, accepts array or splat arguments
 
obj.dig(*args) // returns object, accepts splat arguments or array
 
obj.each(cb);
 
obj.empty() // returns bool
 
obj.equals(obj) // returns bool
 
obj.except(*keys) // returns object, accepts keys as splat arguments or an array
 
obj.hasKey() // returns bool
 
obj.hasValue() // returns bool
 
obj.join(cb, delimiter=', ') // returns string
 
obj.keys() // returns array
 
obj.merge(obj) // returns object
 
obj.only(*keys) // returns object, accepts keys as splat arguments or an array
 
obj.reject(cb) // returns object
 
obj.select(cb) // returns object, known to cause error with React select elements
 
obj.values() // returns array

When requiring Object patches individually you must first require object/rearmed. Example:

require('rearmed-js/object/rearmed');
require('rearmed-js/object/select');
require('rearmed-js/object/reject');

The following methods are used under the hood to provide patches to Object. I have exposed these methods publicly so that you can add your own custom methods to rearmed() objects. These methods are available on Object after requiring either of these: rearmed-js/object/rearmed or rearmed-js

Object.rearmed.add({
  myMethodName: function(){
    // add new method to rearmed() objects
  }
);
 
Object.rearmed.remove(
  myMethodName: function(){
    // remove method from rearmed() objects
  }
);

Number

var num = 8.5;
 
num.ceil() // returns number
 
num.floor() // returns number
 
num.isDecimal() // returns bool
 
num.isEven() // returns bool
 
num.isInteger() // returns bool
 
num.isOdd() // returns bool
 
num.round() // returns number

String

var str = 'Hello World':
 
str.capitalize() // returns string
 
str.caseCmp(str) // returns bool
 
str.chars() // returns array
 
str.downcase() // returns string
 
str.empty() // returns bool
 
str.endsWith(val) // returns bool
 
str.excludes(val, fromIndex=0) // returns bool
 
str.gsub(str, toStr) // returns string
 
str.includes(val, fromIndex=0) // returns bool
 
str.lstrip() // returns string
 
str.reverse() // returns string
 
str.rstrip() // returns string
 
str.startsWith(val) // returns bool
 
str.strip() // returns string
 
str.sub(str, toStr) // returns string
// Warning: doesn't warn when it overwrites the original sub method as it has been removed from the JS standard.
 
str.titleize(onlyFirstLetters=true) // returns string
 
str.toBool() // returns bool
 
str.upcase() // returns string

Browser / NodeJS / Typescript Support

Browser support is IE 9+ and everything else. Use the files in the dist folder if you need pre-minified files.
Array find doesnt work properly in old NodeJS 0.x and iojs.
String empty doesnt work properly in old NodeJS 0.x.
Typescript is supported however it does not support Class methods because its not possible to define static methods on existing interfaces such as Array. At this time the only effected method is Array.range

Contributing

I recommend discussing your intentions via an issue before making a PR as they are very concious design choices that must go into this library.
Only edit js files from src/ and test/ folders.
Use the gulp task: gulp to run the build after making your changes.
Testing these methods are simple & easy. PR's should include tests.
