Array Wizard is a utility library developed in TypeScript with support for React and Vite projects. This library provides useful methods for array manipulation, validations, string operations, among others.
To install the project dependencies, run:
npm install
To use this library, import the necessary methods into your TypeScript or JavaScript project.
import { sum, map, difference, flattering, intersection, uniqueElements, groupBy } from 'array-wizard';
import { isEmpty, isNullOrUndefined, isObject, isObjectLike, isString } from 'array-wizard';
import { capitalize, includes } from 'array-wizard';
import { throttle, debounce } from 'array-wizard';
-
arraylable 🧩
-
Converts a value to an array if it is not already an array. If the value is
null
, it returns an empty array. -
Example:
import { arraylable } from 'array-wizard'; console.log(arraylable(null)); // [] console.log(arraylable([1, 2, 3])); // [1, 2, 3] console.log(arraylable('string')); // []
-
-
chunks 🍰
- Splits an array into chunks of a specified size. Returns an array of arrays, each containing a subset of the original array.
- Example:
import { chunks } from 'array-wizard'; console.log(chunks([1, 2, 3, 4, 5], 2)); // [[1, 2], [3, 4], [5]] console.log(chunks([1, 2, 3], 5)); // [[1, 2, 3]] console.log(chunks([], 2)); // []
-
difference ➖
- Returns the elements of the first array that are not present in the second array.
- Example:
import { difference } from 'array-wizard'; console.log(difference([1, 2, 3], [2, 3, 4])); // [1] console.log(difference(['a', 'b', 'c'], ['b', 'd'])); // ['a', 'c']
-
flattering 🌟
- Flattens an array up to a specified depth. Returns a new array with all sub-array elements concatenated into it recursively up to the specified depth.
- Example:
import { flattering } from 'array-wizard'; console.log(flattering([1, [2, [3, [4]], 5]], 2)); // [1, 2, 3, [4], 5] console.log(flattering([1, [2, [3, [4]], 5]], 1)); // [1, 2, [3, [4]], 5]
-
intersection ✴️
- Returns an array containing the elements common to both arrays.
- Exapmle:
import { intersection } from 'array-wizard'; console.log(intersection([1, 2, 3], [2, 3, 4])); // [2, 3] console.log(intersection(['a', 'b', 'c'], ['b', 'c', 'd'])); // ['b', 'c']
-
group by ✴️
- Groups elements of an array into an object according to a generated key, and returns said object.
- Example:
import { groupBy } from 'array-wizard'; const array = [ { category: 'fruit', name: 'apple' }, { category: 'fruit', name: 'banana' }, { category: 'vegetable', name: 'carrot' } ]; const result = groupBy(array, item => item.category); console.log(result); // { // fruit: [ // { category: 'fruit', name: 'apple' }, // { category: 'fruit', name: 'banana' } // ], // vegetable: [ // { category: 'vegetable', name: 'carrot' } // ] // }
-
map 🗺️
- Applies a transformation function to each element of an array and returns a new array with the transformed elements.
- Example:
import { map } from 'array-wizard'; const numbers = [1, 2, 3]; const doubled = map(numbers, x => x * 2); console.log(doubled); // [2, 4, 6] const words = ['hello', 'world']; const lengths = map(words, x => x.length); console.log(lengths); // [5, 5]
-
sum ➕
- Sums all the numbers in an array and returns the total.
- Example:
import { sum } from 'array-wizard'; console.log(sum([1, 2, 3, 4])); // 10 console.log(sum([10, -5, 5])); // 10
-
uniqueElements 🌈
- Returns a new array with unique elements, removing duplicates from the original array.
- Example:
import { uniqueElements } from 'array-wizard'; console.log(uniqueElements([1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 4])); // [1, 2, 3, 4] console.log(uniqueElements(['a', 'b', 'b', 'c'])); // ['a', 'b', 'c']
-
isEmpty 🏷️
- Checks if a value is empty. For objects, it checks if the object has no own properties. For other types, it checks if the value is falsy.
- Example:
import { isEmpty } from 'array-wizard'; /* @param value: Object | Array | string | number | boolean @returns boolean */ // Example usage console.log(isEmpty({})); // true console.log(isEmpty([])); // true console.log(isEmpty('')); // true console.log(isEmpty({ key: 'value' })); // false console.log(isEmpty([1, 2, 3])); // false console.log(isEmpty('string')); // false
-
isNullOrUndefined ❓
- Checks if a value is
null
orundefined
. - Example:
import { isNullOrUndefined } from 'array-wizard'; /* @param value: unknown @returns boolean */ // Example usage console.log(isNullOrUndefined(null)); // true console.log(isNullOrUndefined(undefined)); // true console.log(isNullOrUndefined('string')); // false console.log(isNullOrUndefined(123)); // false
- Checks if a value is
-
isObject 🛠️
- Checks if a value is an object. Returns
false
fornull
and non-object types. - Example:
import { isObject } from 'array-wizard'; /* @param value: unknown @returns boolean */ // Example usage console.log(isObject({})); // true console.log(isObject([])); // true console.log(isObject(null)); // false console.log(isObject('string')); // false console.log(isObject(123)); // false
- Checks if a value is an object. Returns
-
isObjectLike 🌐
- Checks if a value is object-like. Excludes
Date
,RegExp
, arrays,null
, and other non-object types. - Example:
import { isObjectLike } from 'array-wizard'; /* @param value: unknown @returns boolean */ // Example usage console.log(isObjectLike({})); // true console.log(isObjectLike({ key: 'value' })); // true console.log(isObjectLike([])); // false console.log(isObjectLike(new Date())); // false console.log(isObjectLike(/regex/)); // false
- Checks if a value is object-like. Excludes
-
isString 🔤
- Checks if a value is a string.
- Example:
import { isString } from 'array-wizard'; /* @param value: unknown @returns boolean */ // Example usage console.log(isString('hello')); // true console.log(isString('')); // true console.log(isString(123)); // false console.log(isString({})); // false console.log(isString([])); // false
-
capitalize 🔠
- Capitalizes the first letter of each word in a string and converts the rest of the letters to lowercase.
- Example:
import { capitalize } from 'array-wizard'; /* @param s: string @returns string */ // Example usage console.log(capitalize('hello world')); // "Hello World" console.log(capitalize('javaScript is fun')); // "Javascript Is Fun" console.log(capitalize('capitalize this STRING')); // "Capitalize This String" console.log(capitalize('already Capitalized')); // "Already Capitalized" console.log(capitalize('')); // "" console.log(capitalize('a')); // "A" console.log(capitalize(123 as any)); // 123 (since 123 is not a string)
-
includes 🔍
- Checks if a string contains a specified substring. Returns
false
if either argument is not a string. - Example:
import { includes } from 'array-wizard'; /* @param stringValue: string @param searchableValue: string @returns boolean */ // Example usage console.log(includes('hello world', 'world')); // true console.log(includes('hello world', 'WORLD')); // false console.log(includes('JavaScript is fun', 'is')); // true console.log(includes('JavaScript is fun', 'funny')); // false console.log(includes('TypeScript', 'script')); // false console.log(includes('TypeScript', 'Script')); // true console.log(includes('TypeScript', 'Type')); // true console.log(includes('TypeScript', '')); // true console.log(includes('', '')); // true console.log(includes('', 'empty')); // false console.log(includes(123 as any, '23')); // false (since 123 is not a string)
- Checks if a string contains a specified substring. Returns
-
throttle ⏳
- Creates a throttled function that only invokes the provided function at most once per every specified delay period.
- Example:
import { throttle } from 'array-wizard'; // Function to handle button click const handleClick = (): void => { console.log('Button clicked'); // Handle button click here }; // Throttled version of the handleClick function const throttledHandleClick = throttle(handleClick, 800); // Simulate button clicks throttledHandleClick(); throttledHandleClick(); throttledHandleClick(); // Only the first call will be executed immediately, // subsequent calls will be ignored for the next 800ms // Example usage in a React component import React from 'react'; const MyComponent: React.FC = () => { return ( <button onClick={throttledHandleClick}> Click me </button> ); }; export default MyComponent;
-
debounce ⌛
- Creates a debounced function that delays the invocation of the provided function until after a specified delay period has elapsed since the last time the debounced function was invoked.
- Example:
import React, { useState, useCallback } from 'react'; import { debounce } from 'array-wizard'; // Function to fetch search results const fetchResults = (query) => { console.log(`Fetching results for ${query}`); }; // Debounced version of the fetchResults function const debouncedFetchResults = debounce(fetchResults, 300); const SearchComponent: React.FC = () => { const [query, setQuery] = useState(''); // Callback const handleInputChange = useCallback((event: React.ChangeEvent<HTMLInputElement>) => { const newQuery = event.target.value; setQuery(newQuery); debouncedFetchResults(newQuery); }, [debouncedFetchResults]); return ( <input type="text" value={query} onChange={handleInputChange} placeholder="Search..." /> ); }; export default SearchComponent;
