LABOR - Helferlein

"Helferlein" is german and means: Small Helper

This javascript package contains a number of helper functions and their typescript definitions. Not all implementations are written by us; all external, included code is annotated with it's source.

All helpers should be able to run in a node.js context, as well as in the browser and even a SSR context without any issues.

Installation

Install this package using npm:

npm install @labor-digital/helferlein

Usage

In a module environment (webpack/typescript)

The helpers are distributed as loosely coupled components, that are tree-shakable by modern building tools like webpack. So you can simply load what you need directly from your code

import {asArray} from "@labor-digital/helferlein";

const objectAsArray = asArray({'a': 1, 'b': 2, 'd': 3, 'e': 'asdf'});

As scrip in a browser

You can also load the pre-build sources directly in your browser. You don't need any bundler for that, just look inside the dist.browser directory.

Load only some helpers

Each helper is available in a standalone file. That way you can load either a single helper, or two, or three. Each loaded helper, will be added to the global " Helferlein" object.

<script type="text/javascript" src="../dist.browser/Helferlein.types.isArray.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="../dist.browser/Helferlein.types.isString.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
    console.log('Is string', Helferlein.isString('true'), '<- true | false ->', Helferlein.isString(false));
    console.log('Is array', Helferlein.isArray([]), '<- true | false ->', Helferlein.isString(false));
</script>

Load all helpers

Alternatively you can load all available helpers at once using the "Helferlein.all.js" file.

<script type="text/javascript" src="../dist.browser/Helferlein.all.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
    console.log('Is string', Helferlein.isString('true'), '<- true | false ->', Helferlein.isString(false));
    console.log('Is array', Helferlein.isArray([]), '<- true | false ->', Helferlein.isString(false));
</script>
