Case Insensitive Object

A case insensitive implementation of the Object class in TypeScript/JavaScript.

Inspired by Python CaseInsensitiveDict implementations.

While this module is written in TS, it does not fare well in strict TS mode.

Install

| npm | yarn |
| ------------- | ------------- |
| npm install case-insensitive-object | yarn add case-insensitive-object |

Usage

``typescript
import create, {CaseInsensitiveObject} from 'case-insensitive-object';

const obj = create({foo: 'bar'}) // This method is preferred
const obj2 = new CaseInsensitiveObject({foo: 'bar'}) // Less checking is available here...
const obj3 = CaseInsensitiveObject.fromEntries([['foo', 'bar']])

console.log(obj['FOO']) // -> 'bar'
console.log(obj['fOo']) // -> 'bar'

obj['FoO'] = 'baz' // Can reassign using any case
console.log(obj['foo']) // -> 'baz'
console.log(Object.keys(obj)) // -> ['foo']

console.log('FoO' in obj) // -> true

delete obj['FOO']
console.log(obj['foo']) // -> undefined
`

Idiosyncrasies


Object.keys(new CaseInsensitiveObj({'FoO': bar})) --> ['FoO']`

To allow a user to reconstruct the original object, we preserve the casing
