Methods

typeOf(o) static

Gets the true type of the built-in object (better version of typeof).

Arguments

• o Object
  Object to check.

extend(target, [obj]) static

Extends the specified object with another object(s).

Arguments

• target Object
  Object to extend.
• [obj] Object
  Multiple objects to extend with.

extendIf(target, [obj]) static

Extends the specified object with another object(s), but only if the property exists in the target.

Arguments

• target Object
  Object to extend.
• [obj] Object
  Multiple objects to extend with.

inherit(child, parent) static

A way to inherit one class from another in a consisstent way (more or less)

Arguments

• child Function

• parent Function

each(obj, callback) static

Executes the callback function for each item in array/object. If you return false in the callback it will break the loop.

Arguments

• obj Object
  Object to iterate.
• callback Function
  Callback function to execute for each item.

isEmptyObj(o) static

Checks if object is empty.

Arguments

• o Object
  Object to check.

inSeries(queue, cb) static

Recieve an array of functions (usually async) to call in sequence, each function receives a callback as first argument that it should call, when it completes. Finally, after everything is complete, main callback is called. Passing truthy value to the callback as a first argument will interrupt the sequence and invoke main callback immediately.

Arguments

• queue Array
  Array of functions to call in sequence
• cb Function
  Main callback that is called in the end, or in case of error

inParallel(queue, cb) static

Recieve an array of functions (usually async) to call in parallel, each function receives a callback as first argument that it should call, when it completes. After everything is complete, main callback is called. Passing truthy value to the callback as a first argument will interrupt the process and invoke main callback immediately.

Arguments

• queue Array
  Array of functions to call in sequence
• cb Function
  Main callback that is called in the end, or in case of erro

inArray(needle, array) static

Find an element in array and return it's index if present, otherwise return -1.

Arguments

• needle Mixed
  Element to find
• array Array

toArray(obj) static

Forces anything into an array.

Arguments

• obj Object
  Object with length field.

guid(prefix) static

Generates an unique ID. The only way a user would be able to get the same ID is if the two persons at the same exact millisecond manage to get the same 5 random numbers between 0-65535; it also uses a counter so each ID is guaranteed to be unique for the given page. It is more probable for the earth to be hit with an asteroid.

Arguments

• prefix String
  to prepend (by default 'o' will be prepended).

trim(str) static

Trims white spaces around the string

Arguments

• str String

parseSizeStr(size) static

Parses the specified size string into a byte value. For example 10kb becomes 10240.

Arguments

• size String/Number
  String to parse or number to just pass through.
