#### clone(Anything val)
Make a deep copy of a variable.
`js
import { clone } from 'bellajs'
const b = [
1, 5, 0, 'a', -10, '-10', '',
{
a: 1,
b: 'Awesome'
}
]
const cb = clone(b)
console.log(cb)
`
cb now has the same values as b, while the properties are standalone, not reference. So that:
`js
cb[7].a = 2
cb[7].b = 'Noop'
console.log(b[7])
`
What you get is still:
`js
{
a: 1,
b: 'Awesome'
}
`
#### copies(Object source, Object target[[, Boolean requireMatching], Array excepts])
Copy the properties from source to target.
- requireMatching: if true, BellaJS only copies the properties that are already exist in target.
- excepts: array of the properties properties in source that you don't want to copy.
After this action, target will be modified.
`js
import { copies } from 'bellajs'
const a = {
name: 'Toto',
age: 30,
level: 8,
nationality: {
name: 'America'
}
}
const b = {
level: 4,
IQ: 140,
epouse: {
name: 'Alice',
age: 27
},
nationality: {
long: '18123.123123.12312',
lat: '98984771.134231.1234'
}
}
copies(a, b)
console.log(b)
`
Output:
`js
{
level: 8,
IQ: 140,
epouse: {
name: 'Alice',
age: 27
},
nationality: {
long: '18123.123123.12312',
lat: '98984771.134231.1234',
name: 'America'
},
name: 'Toto',
age: 30
}
`
$3
#### pick(Array arr [, Number count = 1])
Randomly choose N elements from array.
`js
import { pick } from 'bellajs'
const arr = [1, 3, 8, 2, 5, 7]
pick(arr, 2) // --> [3, 5]
pick(arr, 2) // --> [8, 1]
pick(arr) // --> [3]
pick(arr) // --> [7]
`
#### sort(Array arr [, Function compare])
Sort the array using a function.
`js
import { sort } from 'bellajs'
const fn = (a, b) => {
return a < b ? 1 : a > b ? -1 : 0
}
sort([3, 1, 5, 2], fn) // => [ 1, 2, 3, 5 ]
`
#### sortBy(Array arr, Number order, String property)
Sort the array by specific property and direction.
`js
import { sortBy } from 'bellajs'
const players = [
{
name: 'Jerome Nash',
age: 24
},
{
name: 'Jackson Valdez',
age: 21
},
{
name: 'Benjamin Cole',
age: 23
},
{
name: 'Manuel Delgado',
age: 33
},
{
name: 'Caleb McKinney',
age: 28
}
]
const result = sortBy(players, -1, 'age')
console.log(result)
`
#### shuffle(Array arr)
Shuffle the positions of elements in an array.
`js
import { shuffle } from 'bellajs'
shuffle([1, 3, 8, 2, 5, 7])
`
#### unique(Array arr)
Remove all duplicate elements from an array.
`js
import { unique } from 'bellajs'
unique([1, 2, 3, 2, 3, 1, 5]) // => [ 1, 2, 3, 5 ]
`
$3
#### curry(fn)
Make a curried function.
`js
import { curry } from 'bellajs'
const sum = curry((a, b, c) => {
return a + b + c
})
sum(3)(2)(1) // => 6
sum(1)(2)(3) // => 6
sum(1, 2)(3) // => 6
sum(1)(2, 3) // => 6
sum(1, 2, 3) // => 6
`
#### compose(f1, f2, ...fN)
Performs right-to-left function composition.
`js
import { compose } from 'bellajs'
const f1 = (name) => {
return f1 ${name}
}
const f2 = (name) => {
return f2 ${name}
}
const f3 = (name) => {
return f3 ${name}
}
const addF = compose(f1, f2, f3)
addF('Hello') // => 'f1 f2 f3 Hello'
const add1 = (num) => {
return num + 1
}
const mult2 = (num) => {
return num * 2
}
const add1AndMult2 = compose(add1, mult2)
add1AndMult2(3) // => 7
// because multiple to 2 first, then add 1 late => 3 * 2 + 1
`
#### pipe(f1, f2, ...fN)
Performs left-to-right function composition.
`js
import { pipe } from 'bellajs'
const f1 = (name) => {
return f1 ${name}
}
const f2 = (name) => {
return f2 ${name}
}
const f3 = (name) => {
return f3 ${name}
}
const addF = pipe(f1, f2, f3)
addF('Hello') // => 'f3 f2 f1 Hello'
const add1 = (num) => {
return num + 1
}
const mult2 = (num) => {
return num * 2
}
const add1AndMult2 = pipe(add1, mult2)
add1AndMult2(3) // => 8
// because add 1 first, then multiple to 2 late => (3 + 1) * 2
`
#### maybe(Anything val)
Return a static variant of Maybe monad.
`js
import { maybe } from 'bellajs'
const plus5 = x => x + 5
const minus2 = x => x - 2
const isNumber = x => Number(x) === x
const toString = x => 'The value is ' + String(x)
const getDefault = () => 'This is default value'
maybe(5)
.map(plus5)
.map(minus2)
.value() // 8
maybe('noop')
.map(plus5)
.map(minus2)
.value() // null
maybe(5)
.if(isNumber)
.map(plus5)
.map(minus2)
.else(getDefault)
.map(toString)
.value() // 'The value is 8'
maybe()
.if(isNumber)
.map(plus5)
.map(minus2)
.map(toString)
.value() // null
maybe()
.if(isNumber)
.map(plus5)
.map(minus2)
.else(getDefault)
.map(toString)
.value() // 'This is default value'
`

#### formatDateString(Date | Timestamp [, String locale [, Object options]])
`js
import {
formatDateString
} from 'bellajs'
const today = new Date()
formatDateString(today) // => Jan 3, 2022, 8:34:28 PM GMT+7
// custom format
formatDateString(today, {
dateStyle: 'short',
timeStyle: 'short',
hour12: true
}) // => 1/3/22, 8:34 PM

formatTimeAgo(aLittleWhile, 'vi') // => 3 giờ trước
`
The last param justnow can be used to display a custom 'just now' message, when the distance is lesser than 1s.

const now = new Date()
const aJiff = now.setTime(now.getTime() - 100)
formatTimeAgo(aJiff) // => 'just now'
formatTimeAgo(aJiff, 'fr', 'à l\'instant') // => à l'instant
formatTimeAgo(aJiff, 'ja', 'すこし前') // => すこし前
`
These two functions based on recent features of built-in object Intl.

- Intl.DateTimeFormat() constructor
- Intl.RelativeTimeFormat
- Intl.Locale
