@OADA/oadaify

A library to make working with OADA data in JavaScript/TypeScript less annoying.

I was always writing loops with checks to skip _ keys, or forgetting to add the check and my code did something weird. This makes loops etc. do what one expects and wants 99% of the time. The library exports Symbols which can be used to access the OADA keys.

The OADAified objects still function correctly with JSON.stringify and ajv. There is a deoadaify function in the case you need to put it back.

Be warned though, TypeScript is... quirky about Symbol keys in objects. You should mostly be fine, but sometimes it will get dumb on you.

Example

import{oadaify,// Symbol for accessing `_id`_id,}from'@oada/oadaify';// Some data from an OADA APIconstdata={_id: 'resources/123',_rev: 1,_type: 'application/foo+json',foo: 'bar',baz: 7,};// OADAify the dataconstoadaified=oadaify(data);// Makes loops etc only get non OADA keysconsole.log(Object.entries(oadaified));// [['foo', 'bar'], ['baz', 7]]// The OADA keys are not goneconsole.log(oadaified[_id]);// 'resources/123'// JSON is still original OADA dataconsole.log(JSON.stringify(oadaified,null,2));/*{ "_id": "resources/123", "_rev": 1, "_type": "application/foo+json", "foo": "bar", "baz": 7,}*/
