Node.js utilities module extensions
Common & useful functions that extend the Util class in NodeJs. Basically these are all those functions that you usually carry between projects and repos. Ideally centralized in a single lib, distributed through NPM and easy to use.
Basically, if you are already using util
module from NodeJS just do this
var util = ; // this is how you have it nowvar util = // this is how you add support for extended util functions
Take a look at the code to see the available functions.
Installing
npm install util-ext
Available Functions
Partial. Creates a callback with a set of pre-applied parameters. It's really useful when you need to pass a parametrized callback and you don't want to go through the spaghetti of creating a closure. e.g.
var { /** some shitty code */ }; // some function with 2 argsvar handlerA = util; // create a callback where we fix param mode to be "MODE_A"obj; // pass the handler with the applied argument e will be determined by context
You get the point.
