@ngnjs/libdata

While this JavaScript library is maintained primarily by and for NGN, it is a standalone "cross-runtime" library (will work without NGN).

The library consists of common functions for managing primitive and low level elements of JavaScript (objects, arrays, booleans, etc).

Usage

See the working examples on Codepen.

Via CDN (Browser/Deno)

import * as DATA from 'https://cdn.skypack.dev/@ngnjs/libdata'

console.log(DATA)

Also available on JSDelivr.

Node

npm i @ngnjs/libdata -S

import * as DATA from '@ngnjs/libdata'
console.log(DATA)

Features

The NGN libdata library is a standalone library containing common data manipulation functions. This is significantly more primitive than the NGN Data module. This library contains methods for performing operations to a single data item, whereas the NGN Data module focuses on data modeling, bulk storage, and querying (amongst others).
