vocabulary

vocabulary.js (beta)

What makes the Wu Tang Clan so special? It's a combination of their style, creativity, intelligence, and especially their vocabulary. The amazing depth of word choice makes them the ultimate in expressiveness.

vocabulary.js is an attempt at a similar elegance. It's a library that turns common and ubiquitous Javascript logic into tiny, re-usable functions. Don't bother memorizing implementations or searching Stack Overflow - just learn the function names.

# of functions: 104

How is this different than lodash or Underscore?

If lodash and Underscore are utility belts, then vocabulary.js is like a team of Batmans wearing utility belts.

Usage

Using ES6 destructuring and module syntax:

const { focusFirstFormField, redirect, isEscapeKeyEvent } = require('vocabulary');

If you don't want the whole library, feel free to copy and paste the functions from the source!

Pull requests welcome! Please add unit tests to tests.js for any new functions.

Dependencies

None, unless you use one of the handful of functions that have external depedencies: enableEs6 and enableJsx

Versions

Beta - missing: API documentation, examples, consistent naming of functions, organization, and structure (maybe beta is an optimistic word)
