Opinionated Javascript variable casting with deep structures support
npm install castitOpinionated Javascript variable casting with deep structures support for
easily and automatically cast some common datatypes in JavaScript
Based on https://github.com/bahamas10/node-autocast but adapted for
Fluid Configure
existing JSON configurations. This version is meant to be used in CommonJS
environments.
The main differences with autocast are:
- hexadecimal and octals are not automatically casted, they remain as string
values. Casing them is as simple as adding a plus sign in front of the string
+"0xff".
- "" and "-" are both casted to an empty string.
- functions objects and array are not casted by default
- supports deep casting by passing an optional deep flag.
