One more DOM classname string builder if you not enough yet 😁
It is lightweight, fast and has no dependencies!
Designed to be fastest full-feature drop-in replacement for classnames package.

Install it via npm or yarn

``bash
npm i cnbuilder


OR

- main field of package.json is pointing to transpiled ES5 version with CJS modules resolution;
- module field is pointing to transpiled ES5 version with ES modules resolution;
- esnext field is pointing to the ES6+ version with ES modules resolution;

Depending on your targets you may have to use Webpack and/or
Babel to pull untranspiled version of package.
See some tips on wiring thing up: https://2ality.com/2017/06/pkg-esnext.html

Use it wherever and however you want - node.js or webpack, CJS or ESM modules!

`javascript
var cnb = require("cnbuilder").cnb;

cnb("cnbuilder", { is: true }, ["awesome!"]); // => 'cnbuilder is awesome!'
`

`typescript
import { cnb } from "cnbuilder";

cnb("works", { with: true }, ["ESM!"]); // => 'works with ESM!'
`

cnbuilder is designed to be lighnweight and fast drop-in replacement of classnames package, so it wont be anyhow hard to migrate if you're already using classnames package.
In general cnbuilder is 3-4 times faster than classnames and slightly lighter.

API is absolutely the same with classnames, except the moment that cnbuilder's methods are named exported.

`typescript
import { cnb, dcnb } from 'cnbuilder';

cnb(); // common version
dcnb(); // deduped version
`
The cnbuilder takes any number of arguments which can be a string, array or object. Any other input will be ignored.
The argument 'foo' is short for { foo: true } or ['foo']. If the value associated with a given key is falsy, that key won't be included in the output.

`js
cnb("foo", "bar"); // => 'foo bar'
cnb("foo", { bar: true }); // => 'foo bar'
cnb({ "foo-bar": true }); // => 'foo-bar'
cnb({ "foo-bar": false }); // => ''
cnb({ foo: true }, { bar: true }); // => 'foo bar'
cnb({ foo: true, bar: true }); // => 'foo bar'

// lots of arguments of various types
cnb("foo", { bar: true, duck: false }, "baz", { quux: true }); // => 'foo bar baz quux'

// other falsy values are just ignored
cnb(null, false, "bar", undefined, 0, 1, { baz: null }, ""); // => 'bar 1'
`

Arrays will be recursively flattened as per the rules above:

`js
var arr = ["b", { c: true, d: false }];
cnb("a", arr); // => 'a b c'
`

Output, as you see - pretty much the same too, but has some differences in direction of class names RFC.

- cnbuilder does not generate useless spaces:
`javascript
classnames("test", [], { a: false }); // => "test " (5 chars with space at the end)
cnb("test", [], { a: false }); // => "test" (just 4 chars)
`
- cnbuilder skips numbers as they'te not the part of class names RFC. But it can't skip strings starting with digit and numeric object keys, cause it would impact the performance, so that part is left for the end developer
`javascript
classnames(321, "1stPlace"); // => "321 1stPlace"
cnb(321, "1stPlace"); // => "1stPlace"
`

#### Dynamic class names with ES2015

If you're in an environment that supports computed keys (available in ES2015+ and Babel) you can use dynamic class names:

`javascript
let buttonType = "primary";
cnb({ [btn-${buttonType}]: true });
`

#### Dedupe version

cnbuilder exports an alternative version which dedupes classes and ensures falsy classes specified in later arguments are excluded from the result string.

This version is way slower so use it with caution.

To use is simply import the dcnb method from cnbuilder package:

`typescript
import { dcnb } from 'cnbuilder';

dcnb('foo foo foo', 'foo', 'foo foo'); // => 'foo'
dcnb('foo', {foo: false, bar: true}, 'bar bar'); // => 'bar'
`

- Array.isArray: see MDN for details about unsupported older browsers (e.g. <= IE8) and a simple polyfill.
- Object.create: used in dedupe version, see MDN for details about unsupported older browsers (e.g. <= IE8) and a simple polyfill.
