Rosettron

About

Rosettron is a small utility that lets you use data to translate other data from one schema to another. Sound boring? Great! It is, but it can be useful.

Examples

Basic

let rosettron = require("rosettron");

let data = {
    something: "Woot",
    somethingElse: "Yay"
};

let rules = {
    something: "exclamation1",
    somethingElse: "exclamation2"
};

let translatedData = rosettron(rules, data);

console.log(translatedData);

Output

{
   exclamation1: "Woot",
   exclamation2: "Yay" 
}

Arrays

let rosettron = require("rosettron");

let data = {
    people: [{name: "Jim", employer: "Dunder Mifflin"}, {name: "Leslie Knope", employer: "City of Pawnee"}, {name: "Pam", employer: "Dunder Mifflin"}, {name: "Iron Man", employer: "Avengers"}]
};

let rules = {people: [{employer: "....employers.%"}]};

let translatedData = rosettron(rules, data);

console.log(translatedData);

Output

{
    employers: ["Dunder Mifflin", "City of Pawnee", "Dunder Mifflin", "Avengers"]
}

Regular Expressions

let rosettron = require("rosettron");

let data = {
    acb: 1,
    alkjsdakjb: 2,
    bldjk: 3
};

let rules = {
    "/a(.+)b/": "$1"
};

let translatedData = rosettron(rules, data);

console.log(translatedData);

Output

{
   c: 1,
   lkjsdakj: 2
}
