USoft has defined extension functions on prototypes of objects, arrays, dates and strings. These utility functions are globally available within each USoft web application.

These functions may be called by adding the 'usoft’ infix to the function call syntax.

Example 1

This example calls an extension function defined for objects.

let obj = { a: 1, b: 2, c: 3};
obj.usoft.forEachValue( (value, key) => {
      console.log(value);
});

The result is:

1
2
3

Example 2

This example calls an extension function defined for strings:

let name = "USoftWebDesigner";
console.log(name.usoft.toKebabCase());

The result is:

usoft-web-designer

Objects

Object.defineProperty(Object.prototype, 'usoft', {
  enumerable: false,
  get() {
    return {
      equals: (other) => UdbObject.equals(this, other),
      filterObject: (fn) => UdbObject.filterObject(this, fn),			
      findKey: (fn) => UdbObject.findKey(this, fn),			
      findObject: (fn) => UdbObject.findObject(this, fn),			
      forEachKey: (fn) => UdbObject.forEachKey(this, fn),
      forEachValue: (fn) => UdbObject.forEachValue(this, fn),
      map: (fn) => UdbObject.map(this, fn),
      mapArray: (fn) => UdbObject.mapArray(this, fn)
	  };
	}
}

Arrays

This snippet shows code responsible for 'usoft’ extension functions defined for arrays:

Object.defineProperty(Array.prototype, 'usoft', {
  enumerable: false,
  get() {
    return {
      clear: () => UdbArray.clear(this),
      compact: () => UdbArray.compact(this),			
      contains: (value) => UdbArray.contains(this, value),
      containsObject: (value) => UdbArray.containsObject(this, value),
      equals: (other) => UdbArray.equals(this, other),
      merge: (newArr, isUnique) => UdbArray.merge(this, newArr, isUnique),
      pushUnique: (obj) => UdbArray.pushUnique(this, obj)
    };
  }
}

Dates

This snippet shows code responsible for 'usoft’ extension functions defined for dates:

Object.defineProperty(Date.prototype, 'usoft', {
  enumerable: false,
  get() {
    return {
      dateFormat: (format) => UdbDate.dateFormat(this, format),
      parseDate: (format) => UdbDate.parseDate(this, format)
    };
  }
}

Strings

This snippet shows code responsible for 'usoft’ extension functions defined for strings:

Object.defineProperty(String.prototype, 'usoft', {
  enumerable: false,
  get() {
    return {
      contains: (value) => UdbString.contains(this, value),
      diff: (otherString) => UdbString.diff(this, otherString),			
      encodeHTML: () => UdbString.encodeHTML(this),
      expandNumericalExponent: () => UdbString.expandNumericalExponent(this),			
      format: (obj) => UdbString.format(this, obj),
      toInitCaps: (lower) => UdbString.toInitCaps(this, lower),			
      toKebabCase: () => UdbString.toKebabCase(this)
    };
  }
