Javascript prototype extensions
===============================

The power of lodash, component-type and
couple other useful helpers conveniently placed on the prototypes of the built in Javascript Objects.

To avoid collisions with other prototype augmentations you may have, extensions prefixes
everything with $. If $ doesn't work for you, use the EXTENSIONS_PREFIX environment or GLOBAL variable
to choose a different one!

$3

Most of lodash's function send the subject object as the first parameter so you just do this...

``
npm install extensions
`
... then write code
`javascript
require("extensions")

//write code
mything.$(...args)
`






Your object|array|string|function will get injected as the 1st parameter.

!Just swap the first argument!







#### Dear fearful ones...
Do not open an issue saying that augmenting prototypes is bad. I'm a big boy that
can ride my bike without training wheels now and I'm going to go have fun.

If something you read 10 years ago has still got you are scared of augmenting the
prototype of the String,Object,Number, and Date objects then do not use
this module.

Everything uses Object.defineProperty (introduced in ECMAScript 5) with
enumerable:false.

This is NOT a crazy big lib. Seriously- open extensions.js and see for yourself.








lodash


As many of the lodash functions have been made available as possible. For access to the entire lodash framework, you can
use GLOBAL.$_.

Additional Extensions

Object

$3

Helper for Object.defineProperty to set a property value with configuration options.

`js
var x = {}.$define("foo", "ecw", 123);
console.log(x.foo);
`

#### options
A string of flags indicating which options you want enabled. Any options not found in the string are false.
w = writable
e = enumerable
c = configurable

#### value
The value you want the property set to.




$3


Helper for Object.defineProperty to create a getter with configuration options.

`js
var x = {}.$getter("foo", "ec", function(){ return 123; });
console.log(x.foo);
`

#### options
A string of flags indicating which options you want enabled. Any options not found in the string are false.
e = enumerable
c = configurable

#### getter
The getter function for the property.

$3

Creates a flattened object by using dot notation (by default) properties on nested objects.

Specify the delimiter to use something other than a '.'

`js
console.log({foo:{bar:{baz:123}}}.$flatten());
// { 'foo.bar.baz': 123 }
`

$3

Shortcut for JSON.stringify(obj)

$3

Shortcut for JSON.stringify(obj, null, 2)

$3

Although this is on Object.prototype, it explicitly only works on an arguments Object.

`js
function fn(){
return arguments.$signature
};

console.log( fn(1, true, function(){}) );
//number,boolean,function

console.log( fn("hello") );
//string

console.log( fn(/jazz/, new Date) );
//regexp,date
`

Use it like this:
`js
function connect(){
switch(arguments.$signature){
case "number,boolean,function":
return foo.apply(this, arguments);
case "string":
return bar.apply(this, arguments);
case "regexp,date":
return baz.apply(this, arguments);
}
}
`








String

$3


This is an alias for:
`javascript
var x = "The Quick Brown".replace(value, '');
`

$3

Converts a delimited list of property names to a field mask. (Useful for mongo)
`js
console.log("foo,bar,baz".$mask())
// { foo: 1, bar: 1, baz: 1 }
`

Array

$3

Converts an Array of property names to a field mask. (Useful for mongo)
`js
console.log(["foo","bar","baz"].$mask())
// { foo: 1, bar: 1, baz: 1 }
`

Date

$3

Returns a new Date object that is set to midnight of date.
date defaults to new Date() if not passed in.

$3

Returns a new Date object that is set to midnight.

$3

$3

The usual UTC equivelants.

$3

A shortcut for (new Date()).toISOString()

$3

Adds num days to the date.

Number

$3

min and max` are _inclusive_. Just like if you say "Pick a number between 1 and 100."
