A modern collection of utility functions for brightscript applications
npm install @dazn/kopytko-utilsKopytko Utils is a modern BrightScript utility library inspired by mechanisms and libraries of the JavaScript world.
As a part of Kopytko Roku Ecosystem it is a Kopytko Module, easy to import using
Kopytko Packager.
Kopytko Utils uses the Kopytko Packager's importing mechanism therefore it will work only with apps using the Packager too.
However, there are some atomic, independent functions (e.g. getProperty, getType, ternary) that could be used without it.
Using npm: npm i @dazn/kopytko-utils
Your Kopytko Packager-configured app will automatically add Utils code into the package.
- lodash library inspired Array, Math and Object utils
- JS-based Promise object and related functions
- JS-based interval and timeout functions
- JS's apply-based functionCall function to run any function in a specific context
- Basic ReactiveX inspired implementation of observables
- SceneGraph's Node utils
- Animator - an easier to use facade over SceneGraph's animation mechanisms
- facades of some BrightScript's Components and their mocks ready to use with Kopytko Unit Testing Framework
- other utilities, e.g. isFalsy, padStart, uuid functions
Every public function is documented using JSDoc syntax in the source code
To make easier mock BrightScript Components wrappers, their
mock files have been created. We recommend getting rid of these files when
building the app for the production environment.
