properJSONify

Build Status

Goes through a javascript object (recursively) and transforms every key into it's camelCase version (also takes a custom key transformation function), and sorts keys alphabetically (also takes a custom compare function).

More often than not you'll have to work with a service that outputs { "ThingsLike": "this" } or { "things_like": "this" } or even god forbid { "things.like": "this" }. When that happens, use properJSONify.

Installation

yarn add properJSONify

API

properJSONify(obj: object | array, customKeyTransform: functioncustomSortCompare: function)

Example

const properJSONify = require('properJSONify');
const obj = {
  WordsAndWords: 1,
  nested_object: {
    'weird.key': 2,
  },
};
 
properJSONify(obj);
/*
  Output
  {
    wordsAndWords: 1,
    nestedObject: {
      weirdKey: 2,
    },
  }
*/

Custom key transformation

If camelCase is not what you're after then just pass a transformation function as the second argument to properJSONify. For instance if you want to prefix all keys with _, you would do:

properJSONify({ a: 1 }, key => `_${key}`);
/*
  Output:
  { _a: 1 }
*/

Custom key sorting

By default properJSONify will sort object keys alphabetically, but you can also use a custom sort function that will be passed to the normal array sort method:

properJSONify({ z: 1, y: 2 }, null, (a, b) => 1);
/*
  Output:
  { y: 2, z: 1 }
*/

Features

  • Traverses both objects and arrays recursively;
  • Does not mutate the original object (tests use deepFreeze to be sure);
  • Allows custom key transformation functions;
  • Prefixes a key with _ in case of an existing duplicate;
