JSPM – shape-json@0.0.21

Package Exports

shape-json

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (shape-json) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

Installation

Using npm:

npm install shape-json

In Node.js:

var shape = require('shape-json');

Parse input by a scheme defined as json.

Consider you want to transform the below flat json object, into a nested json object we used to from MEAN stack.

var input = [
  {pid: 1, contributor: 'jdalton', projectID: 1, projectName: 'lodash'},
  {pid: 1, contributor: 'jdalton', projectID: 2, projectName: 'docdown'},
  {pid: 1, contributor: 'jdalton', projectID: 3, projectName: 'lodash-cli'},
  {pid: 2, contributor: 'contra',  projectID: 4, projectName: 'gulp'},
  {pid: 3, contributor: 'phated',  projectID: 4, projectName: 'gulp'},
]

Instead of producing a lot of duplicated code to accomplish such transformations. We declare a scheme as a json object:

var scheme = {
  "$group[contributors](pid)": {
    "id": "pid",
    "name": "contributor",
    "$group[projects](projectID)": {
      "id": "projectID",
      "name": "projectName"
    }
  }
};
console.log(shape.parse(input, scheme));

This what you get:

{
  "contributors": [
    {
      "id": 1,
      "name": "jdalton",
      "projects": [
        {
          "id": 1,
          "name": "lodash"
        },
        {
          "id": 2,
          "name": "docdown"
        },
        {
          "id": 3,
          "name": "lodash-cli"
        }
      ]
    },
    {
      "id": 2,
      "name": "contra",
      "projects": [
        {
          "id": 4,
          "name": "gulp"
        }
      ]
    },
    {
      "id": 3,
      "name": "phated",
      "projects": [
        {
          "id": 4,
          "name": "gulp"
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Another example:

var scheme = {
  "$mirror[projects](projectID)": {
    "project": {
      "id": "projectID",
      "name": "projectName"
    }
  }
};
console.log(shape.parse(input, scheme));

{
  "projects": [
    {
      "project": {
        "id": 1,
        "name": "lodash"
      }
    },
    {
      "project": {
        "id": 2,
        "name": "docdown"
      }
    },
    {
      "project": {
        "id": 3,
        "name": "lodash-cli"
      }
    },
    {
      "project": {
        "id": 4,
        "name": "gulp"
      }
    }
  ]
}

Extend parse method with own operation

shape.define('growth', function(provider, scheme){
  return provider.map(function(point){
    point.rate *= 100;
    return point;
  });
});

var scheme = {
  "$growth[growth]": {
    "$mirror[rates]": {
      "name": "name",
      "percent": "rate"
    }
  }
};

var input = [
  {
    "name": "test1",
    "rate": 0.1
  },{
    "name": "test2",
    "rate": 0.2
  }
];

var result = shape.parse(input, scheme);
//result equals:
{
  growth: {
    rates: [
      {
        "name": "test1",
        "percent": 10
      },{
        "name": "test2",
        "percent": 20
      }
    ]
  }
}

Create a scheme as object.

var scheme = shape.scheme()
  .mirror({ id: 'pid', last_name: 'lastName' })
  .indexBy('id');

Apply a scheme.

var inputs = [{
  pid: 1,
  lastName: 'Stehle',
  firstName: 'Andre'
},{
  pid: 2,
  lastName: 'lastname',
  firstName: 'firstname'
}];

console.log(scheme.form(inputs));
/*
  {
    1:{
      id: 1,
      last_name: 'Stehle'
    },
    2:{
      id: 2,
      last_name: 'lastname'
    }
  }
*/

API Documentation

console.log(shape.mirror(input, scheme));
/*
  {
    id: 1,
    last_name: 'Stehle'

  last_name: 'lastname'
}];

console.log(shape.indexBy(inputs, 'id'));
/*
