Reshaper

  

Reshaper is a JavaScript library which can automatically restructure JavaScript objects to match a provided schema. It also provides users with some manual control, by way of a 'hint' system.

To see some interactive examples, check out this Kajero notebook.

Installation

npm install reshaper

Usage

#### reshaper(data, schema, [hint])

- data: The JavaScript data structure to be reshaped.
- schema: The structure we want our reshaped data to match.
- hint: _(Optional)_ The name of an object key, given as a 'hint'. Keys matching this hint will be preferred. An array of keys can also be provided if desired.

Examples

``javascript
var reshaper = require('reshaper');

var peopleData = [
{
name: 'Joel',
info: {
age: 22,
height: 1.9,
middleName: 'Robert',
lastName: 'Auterson'
}
},
{
name: 'Jake',
info: {
age: 24,
height: 1.85,
middleName: 'Wild',
lastName: 'Hall'
}
}
];

var schema = ['String'];

reshaper(peopleData, schema);
// => ['Joel', 'Jake']

// We can give a 'hint', to say lastName is what we want.
reshaper(peopleData, schema, 'lastName');
// => ['Auterson', 'Hall']

// Object keys get used as hints
var schema = {
age: ['Number'],
height: ['Number']
};

reshaper(peopleData, schema);
/* =>
{
age: [22, 24],
height: [1.9, 1.85]
}
*/
