Setup & Usage

Deno

https://jsr.io/@ndaidong/bellajs

import { genid } from "@ndaidong/bellajs";

for (let i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
  console.log(genid());
}

You can use JSR packages without an install step using jsr: specifiers:

import { genid } from "jsr:@ndaidong/bellajs";

for (let i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
  console.log(genid());
}

You can also use npm: specifiers as before:

import { genid } from "npm:@ndaidong/bellajs";

for (let i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
  console.log(genid());
}

Or import from esm.sh

import { genid } from "https://esm.sh/@ndaidong/bellajs";

for (let i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
  console.log(genid());
}

Node.js & Bun

https://www.npmjs.com/package/@ndaidong/bellajs

npm i @ndaidong/bellajs
# pnpm
pnpm i @ndaidong/bellajs
# yarn
yarn add @ndaidong/bellajs
# bun
bun add @ndaidong/bellajs

import { genid } from "@ndaidong/bellajs";

for (let i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
  console.log(genid());
}

You can also use CJS style:

const { genid } = require("@ndaidong/bellajs");

for (let i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
  console.log(genid());
}

Browsers:

<script type="module">
import { genid } from "https://esm.sh/@ndaidong/bellajs";
// import { genid } from 'https://unpkg.com/@ndaidong/bellajs/esm/mod.js';

for (let i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
  console.log(genid());
}
</script>

APIs

DataType detection

• .isArray(Anything val)
• .isBoolean(Anything val)
• .isDate(Anything val)
• .isEmail(Anything val)
• .isEmpty(Anything val)
• .isFunction(Anything val)
• .isInteger(Anything val)
• .isLetter(Anything val)
• .isNil(Anything val)
• .isNull(Anything val)
• .isNumber(Anything val)
• .isObject(Anything val)
• .isString(Anything val)
• .isUndefined(Anything val)

String manipulation

• .ucfirst(String s)
• .ucwords(String s)
• .escapeHTML(String s)
• .unescapeHTML(String s)
• .slugify(String s)
• .stripTags(String s)
• .stripAccent(String s)
• .truncate(String s, Number limit)
• .replaceAll(String s, String|Array search, String|Array replace)

Data handling

clone(Anything val)

Make a deep copy of a variable.

import { clone } from "@ndaidong/bellajs";

const b = [
  1,
  5,
  0,
  "a",
  -10,
  "-10",
  "",
  {
    a: 1,
    b: "Awesome",
  },
];

const cb = clone(b);
console.log(cb);

cb now has the same values as b, while the properties are standalone, not reference. So that:

cb[7].a = 2;
cb[7].b = "Noop";

console.log(b[7]);

What you get is still:

{
  a: 1,
  b: 'Awesome'
}

copies(Object source, Object target[[, Boolean requireMatching], Array excepts])

Copy the properties from source to target.

• requireMatching: if true, BellaJS only copies the properties that are already exist in target.
• excepts: array of the properties properties in source that you don't want to copy.

After this action, target will be modified.

import { copies } from "@ndaidong/bellajs";

const a = {
  name: "Toto",
  age: 30,
  level: 8,
  nationality: {
    name: "America",
  },
};
const b = {
  level: 4,
  IQ: 140,
  epouse: {
    name: "Alice",
    age: 27,
  },
  nationality: {
    long: "18123.123123.12312",
    lat: "98984771.134231.1234",
  },
};

copies(a, b);
console.log(b);

Output:

{
  level: 8,
  IQ: 140,
  epouse: {
    name: 'Alice',
    age: 27
  },
  nationality: {
    long: '18123.123123.12312',
    lat: '98984771.134231.1234',
    name: 'America'
  },
  name: 'Toto',
  age: 30
}

Array utils

pick(Array arr [, Number count = 1])

Randomly choose N elements from array.

import { pick } from "@ndaidong/bellajs";

const arr = [1, 3, 8, 2, 5, 7];
pick(arr, 2); // --> [3, 5]
pick(arr, 2); // --> [8, 1]
pick(arr); // --> [3]
pick(arr); // --> [7]

sort(Array arr [, Function compare])

Sort the array using a function.

import { sort } from "@ndaidong/bellajs";

const fn = (a, b) => {
  return a < b ? 1 : a > b ? -1 : 0;
};

sort([3, 1, 5, 2], fn); // => [ 1, 2, 3, 5 ]

sortBy(Array arr, Number order, String property)

Sort the array by specific property and direction.

import { sortBy } from "@ndaidong/bellajs";

const players = [
  {
    name: "Jerome Nash",
    age: 24,
  },
  {
    name: "Jackson Valdez",
    age: 21,
  },
  {
    name: "Benjamin Cole",
    age: 23,
  },
  {
    name: "Manuel Delgado",
    age: 33,
  },
  {
    name: "Caleb McKinney",
    age: 28,
  },
];

const result = sortBy(players, -1, "age");
console.log(result);

shuffle(Array arr)

Shuffle the positions of elements in an array.

import { shuffle } from "@ndaidong/bellajs";

shuffle([1, 3, 8, 2, 5, 7]);

unique(Array arr)

Remove all duplicate elements from an array.

import { unique } from "@ndaidong/bellajs";

unique([1, 2, 3, 2, 3, 1, 5]); // => [ 1, 2, 3, 5 ]

Functional utils

curry(fn)

Make a curried function.

import { curry } from "@ndaidong/bellajs";

const sum = curry((a, b, c) => {
  return a + b + c;
});

sum(3)(2)(1); // => 6
sum(1)(2)(3); // => 6
sum(1, 2)(3); // => 6
sum(1)(2, 3); // => 6
sum(1, 2, 3); // => 6

compose(f1, f2, ...fN)

Performs right-to-left function composition.

import { compose } from "@ndaidong/bellajs";

const f1 = (name) => {
  return `f1 ${name}`;
};
const f2 = (name) => {
  return `f2 ${name}`;
};
const f3 = (name) => {
  return `f3 ${name}`;
};

const addF = compose(f1, f2, f3);

addF("Hello"); // => 'f1 f2 f3 Hello'

const add1 = (num) => {
  return num + 1;
};

const mult2 = (num) => {
  return num * 2;
};

const add1AndMult2 = compose(add1, mult2);
add1AndMult2(3); // => 7
// because multiple to 2 first, then add 1 late => 3 * 2 + 1

pipe(f1, f2, ...fN)

Performs left-to-right function composition.

import { pipe } from "@ndaidong/bellajs";

const f1 = (name) => {
  return `f1 ${name}`;
};
const f2 = (name) => {
  return `f2 ${name}`;
};
const f3 = (name) => {
  return `f3 ${name}`;
};

const addF = pipe(f1, f2, f3);

addF("Hello"); // => 'f3 f2 f1 Hello'

const add1 = (num) => {
  return num + 1;
};

const mult2 = (num) => {
  return num * 2;
};

const add1AndMult2 = pipe(add1, mult2);
add1AndMult2(3); // => 8
// because add 1 first, then multiple to 2 late => (3 + 1) * 2

Date utils

formatDateString(Date | Timestamp [, String locale [, Object options]])

import { formatDateString } from "@ndaidong/bellajs";

const today = new Date();

formatDateString(today); // => Jan 3, 2022, 8:34:28 PM GMT+7

// custom format
formatDateString(today, {
  dateStyle: "short",
  timeStyle: "short",
  hour12: true,
}); // => 1/3/22, 8:34 PM

// custom locale
formatDateString(today, "zh"); // => 2022年1月3日 GMT+7 下午8:34:28

// custom lang and format
formatDateString(today, "zh", {
  dateStyle: "short",
  timeStyle: "long",
  hour12: true,
}); // => 2022/1/3 GMT+7 下午8:34:28

formatDateString(today, "vi"); // => 20:34:28 GMT+7, 3 thg 1, 2022
formatDateString(today, "vi", {
  dateStyle: "full",
  timeStyle: "full",
}); // => 20:34:28 Giờ Đông Dương Thứ Hai, 3 tháng 1, 2022

formatTimeAgo(Date | Timestamp [, String locale [, String justnow]])

import { formatTimeAgo } from "@ndaidong/bellajs";

const today = new Date();

const yesterday = today.setDate(today.getDate() - 1);
formatTimeAgo(yesterday); // => 1 day ago

const current = new Date();
const aLittleWhile = current.setHours(current.getHours() - 3);
formatTimeAgo(aLittleWhile); // => 3 hours ago

// change locale
formatTimeAgo(aLittleWhile, "zh"); // => 3小时前
formatTimeAgo(aLittleWhile, "vi"); // => 3 giờ trước

The last param justnow can be used to display a custom 'just now' message, when the distance is lesser than 1s.

const now = new Date();
const aJiff = now.setTime(now.getTime() - 100);
formatTimeAgo(aJiff); // => 'just now'
formatTimeAgo(aJiff, "fr", "à l'instant"); // => à l'instant
formatTimeAgo(aJiff, "ja", "すこし前"); // => すこし前

These two functions based on recent features of built-in object Intl.

Please refer the following resources for more info:

• Intl.DateTimeFormat() constructor
• Intl.RelativeTimeFormat
• Intl.Locale

Random utils

randint([Number min [, Number max]])

Returns a number between min and max

import { randint } from "@ndaidong/bellajs";

randint(); // => a random integer
randint(1, 5); // => a random integer between 3 and 5, including 1 and 5

genid([Number length [, String prefix]])

Create random ID string.

import { genid } from "@ndaidong/bellajs";

genid(); // => random 32 chars
genid(16); // => random 16 chars
genid(5); // => random 5 chars
genid(5, "X_"); // => X_{random 3 chars}
