🔀☑️🎁 Objectro

🔀 Transform and ☑️ validate 🎁 objects.

Why?

• Destructure/restructure objects based on a map
• Format specific values (sanitise, normalise, etc.)
• Validate an object based on rules

How?

const exampleObject = {
  example1: "This is a simple example",
  example2: "Another simple example",
  example3: "Another simple example to show arrays",
  emaxpel4: "Pluck properties from the object and rename them",
  example5: "DO SOME EXTRA FORMATTING AND RETURN AN OBJECT TO MERGE",
  example6: "Ignore this property"
};

objectro.transform(
  exampleObject,
  // Pluck specific properties from an object to output
  "example1",
  ["example2", "example3"],
  // Give a map that transforms one property name to another.
  {
    emaxpel4: "example4",
    // You can also pass a format function to transform that value
    // further, such as sanitising, normalising or otherwise processing
    // the value
    // If the format function returns an object, then that object will
    // be merged with the output object
    example5: (value, propName) => ({
      [propName]: value.toLowerCase(),
      example6: "This is new!"
    })
  }
);

// Outputs:
// {
//   example1: "This is a simple example",
//   example2: "Another simple example",
//   example3: "Another simple example to show arrays",
//   example4: "Pluck properties from the object and rename them",
//   example5: "do some extra formatting and return an object to merge",
//   example6: "This is new!"
// }

objectro.validate(

    version: "1.1.0",
    lastUpdated: "2022-01-09",

    all: {

      any: {
        // Will match positive if input object has either property
        has: ["name", "version", "nestedObject.example"]
      },
      // Check if property value has one or many possible values
      // Since this is within the `all` rule, all values must be
      // present within the property value.
      has: {
        keywords: ["transform", "validate", "javascript"]
      },
      // Allows you to use validation rules to validate individual
      // property values.
      // Since this is within the `all` rule, all values must be
      // present within the property value.
      match: {
        // Check if the property value type is a string
        version: {
          type: "string"
        },
        // Check if property value is greater than another value
        randomNumber: {
          gt: 100
        },
        // You can also use custom functions to validate properties
        lastUpdated: value => new Date(value).getUTCFullYear() === 2019
      },
      // Negate the result of the following rules
      not: {
        has: {
          // You can also reference nested object properties
          "nestedObject.example": false
        }
      }
    }
  }
);

// Outputs:
// true

  yarn add objectro

Then in your source code:

// ES5

const { transform, validate } = require("objectro");

// ES6
import objectro from "objectro";
import { transform, validate } from "objectro";

// TypeScript
import { TransformFn } from "objectro/lib/types"; // if you ever need access to specific objectro type definitions
import { transform, validate } from "objectro";
