Provide some arguments, get back a hash object of the arguments indexed by their type. Very useful for agnostic argument orders.
Let's say your coding a function, and you want to accept arguments in any order. Traditionally this would look like:
https://github.com/bevry/argsbytype/blob/master/example/01.js
But what happens when you:
- Start having arguments that are regular expressions or dates which
typeofis stillobjectinstead ofregexpordate - Or, when you start having multiple arguments of the same type, that you would like to accept (e.g. the first string should be the
nameproperty, the second string should be thekeywordproperty)
At that point in time, it becomes too much trouble to bother with. Fortunately, argsbytype is to the rescue! Now you can do:
https://github.com/bevry/argsbytype/blob/master/example/02.js
Yay! Big win for agnostic argument order! But when would you actually want this? Well, it turns out that in CoffeeScript options come first, in JavaScript, options usually come last. By using this, we can support both conventions, for example:
https://github.com/bevry/argsbytype/blob/master/example/03.js
- Install:
npm install --save argsbytype - Import:
import * as pkg from ('argsbytype') - Require:
const pkg = require('argsbytype')
<script type="module">
