type

A module to check the type of a given value.

import { type } from 'chitu'

type.isArray(['foo', 'bar']) // = true
type.isObject({ foo: 'bar' }) // = true
type.isString('foo') // = true
type.isDate(new Date()) // = true
type.isRegExp(/foo/g) // = true
type.isFunction(function() {}) // = true
type.isBoolean(false) // = true
type.isNumber(123) // = true
type.isError(new Error()) // = true
type.isNull(null) // = true
type.isUndefined(void 0) // = true

// or for anything else
type.is('Symbol', Symbol('foo')) // = true
type.is('Map', new Map([])) // = true
type.is('Set', new Set([])) // = true
// etc

value

Check if the value is a function and execute it (with provided parameters) or simply return the value.

import { value } from 'chitu'

const foo = (a, b, c) => a * b * c
const bar = ['baz']

const fooVal = value(foo, 2, 2, 2) // = 8
const barVal = value(bar) // = ['baz']

round

Round a number to a given number of decimal places.

import { round } from 'chitu'

round(123.456) // = 123.46
round(1, 2) // = 1.00
round(1.937) // = 1.94
// etc

ordinal

Return the ordinal value for a given number.

import { ordinal } from 'chitu'

ordinal(1) // = '1st'
ordinal(2) // = '2nd'
ordinal(3) // = '3rd'
ordinal(4) // = '4th'
ordinal(12) // = '12th'
ordinal(101) // = '101st'
// etc

time

Return the human readable time string for a given number of seconds.

import { time } from 'chitu'

time(25) // = '00:25'
time(100) // = '01:40'
time(5000) // = '01:23:20'
// etc

dot

Get an item from a given object using string dot notation.

import { dot } from 'chitu'

const obj = {
  foo: {
    bar: 'lorem',
    baz: {
      bob: true,
      qux: null
    }
  }
}

dot(obj, 'foo.bar') // = 'lorem'
dot(obj, 'foo.baz.bob') // = true
dot(obj, ['foo', 'baz', 'bob']) // = true
dot(obj, 'foo.baz.bar', 'someDefault') // = 'someDefault'
dot(obj, 'foo.foo.foo') // = undefined
// etc

random

Generate a "random" alpha-numeric string.

import { random } from 'chitu'

random() // = 'Ky6zJuGnGyrnvw1y'
random(32) // = 'nKusDo5JIFrI1tJswwzpEyGLpvML1Mxp'
// etc
