expr
Tiny expression helper for creating compiled accessors; handles most stuff, including ["bracket notation"] for property access. Originally based off of Kendo UI Core expression code
npm install property-expr
Use
Setters and getters are compiled to functions and cached for Performance™
var expr = require('property-expr')
, obj = {
foo: {
bar: [ "hi", { buz: { baz: 'found me!' } }]
}
};
var getBaz = expr.getter('foo.bar[1]["buz"].baz')
, setBaz = expr.setter('foo.bar[1]["buz"].baz')
console.log(getBaz(obj)) // => 'found me!'
setBaz(obj, 'set me!')
console.log(obj.foo.bar[1].buz.baz) // => 'set me!'
getter(expression, [ safeAccess ])
Returns a function that accepts an obj and returns the value at the supplied expression. You can create a "safe" getter, which won't error out when accessing properties that don't exist, reducing existance checks befroe property access:
expr.getter('foo.bar.baz', true)({ foo: {} }) // => undefined
//instead of val = foo.bar && foo.bar.baz
setter(expression)
Returns a function that accepts an obj and a value and sets the property pointed to by the expression to the supplied value.
expr(expression, [ safeAccess], [ paramName = 'data'])
Returns a normalized expression string pointing to a property on root object
paramName
.
expr.expr("foo['bar'][0].baz", true, 'obj') // => "(((obj.foo || {})['bar'] || {})[0])"
split(path) -> Array
Returns an array of each path segment.
expr.split("foo['bar'][0].baz") // [ "foo", "'bar'", "0", "baz"]
forEach(path, iterator[, thisArg])
Iterate through a path but segment, with some additional helpful metadata about the segment. The iterator function is called with: pathSegment
, isBracket
, isArray
, idx
, segments
expr.forEach('foo["bar"][1]', function(pathSegment, isBracket, isArray, idx, segments) {
// 'foo' -> isBracket = false, isArray = false, idx = 0
// '"bar"' -> isBracket = true, isArray = false, idx = 1
// '0' -> isBracket = false, isArray = true, idx = 2
})
normalizePath(path)
Returns an array of path segments without quotes and spaces.
expr.normalizePath('foo["bar"][ "1" ][2][ " sss " ]')
// ['foo', 'bar', '1', '2', ' sss ']
new Cache(maxSize)
Just an utility class, returns an instance of cache. When the max size is exceeded, cache clears its storage.
var cache = new Cache(2)
cache.set('a', 123) // returns 123
cache.get('a') // returns 123
cache.clear()
cache.set('a', 1)
cache.set('b', 2) // cache contains 2 values
cache.set('c', 3) // cache was cleaned automatically and contains 1 value
