# @sapphirecode/utilities
version: 1.4.x
small utility functions to make much needed features easier to work with
## Installation
npm:
> npm i --save @sapphirecode/utilities
yarn:
> yarn add @sapphirecode/utilities
## Usage
```js
const util = require('@sapphirecode/utilities');
```
cut off decimal places to a specified point
```js
util.truncate_decimal(12.345678, 2);
// returns 12.34
```
will return null instead of throwing on invalid json
```js
util.try_parse_json('{{foo');
```
copy an object to prevent modification of the original
```js
const obj = {foo: 'bar'};
const copy = util.copy_object(obj);
copy.foo = 'baz';
console.log(obj.foo); // bar
```
run a regular expression and get a callback for every result
```js
const data = 'foobarfoo';
const regex = /foo/g;
util.run_regex(regex, data, (res) => {
console.log(res[0]); // will output 'foo' 2 times
});
```
check if a variable is null, undefined or NaN
```js
console.log(util.is_nil(parseInt('abc'))); // true
console.log(util.is_nil('foo')); // false
console.log(util.is_nil(42)); // false
console.log(util.is_nil(null)); // true
console.log(util.is_nil(undefined)); // true
```
filter an array recursively
```js
const to_filter = [
{name: 'include_foo'},
{
name: 'include_bar',
children: [{name: 'foo'}, {name: 'bar'}],
},
{
name: 'baz',
children: [{name: 'include_foo'}, {name: 'bar'}],
},
{
name: 'barbaz',
children: [{name: 'foo'}, {name: 'bar'}],
},
];
const filter = {
field: 'name', // the field the filter will apply on
filter: /^include_.*/iu, // regex filter
};
const result = util.recursive_filter(
to_filter,
[filter], // you can specify multiple filters, they will be connected using AND
'children' // specify which field an objects children are stored in ('children' is default)
);
console.log(JSON.stringify(result, null, 2));
/* output:
[
{ name: 'include_foo' },
{
name: 'include_bar',
children: [
{ name: 'foo' },
{ name: 'bar' }
]
},
{
name: 'baz',
children: [ { name: 'include_foo' } ]
}
]*/
```
