mapKeysAsync
Map keys from one object to a new object having the same values.
Usage
var mapKeysAsync = require( '@stdlib/utils/async/map-keys' );
mapKeysAsync( obj, [options,] transform, done )
Map keys from one object
to a new object
having the same values.
function transform( key, next ) {
setTimeout( onTimeout, 0 );
function onTimeout() {
next( null, key+':beep' );
}
}
function done( error, out ) {
if ( error ) {
throw error;
}
console.log( out );
// => { 'a:beep': 1, 'b:beep': 2 }
}
var obj = {
'a': 1,
'b': 2
};
mapKeysAsync( obj, transform, done );
The next
callback accepts two arguments: error
and key
. The second argument to the next
callback is the transformed property name. If a transform
function calls the next
callback with a truthy error argument, the function stops processing any additional own properties and calls the done
callback for error processing.
function transform( key, value, next ) {
setTimeout( onTimeout, value );
function onTimeout() {
if ( value === 1 ) {
return next( new Error( 'boop' ) );
}
next( null, key+':beep' );
}
}
function done( error ) {
if ( error ) {
console.error( error.message );
// => 'boop'
}
}
var obj = {
'a': 1,
'b': 2
};
mapKeysAsync( obj, transform, done );
The function accepts the following options
:
limit
: the maximum number of pending invocations at any one time. Default:infinity
.series
:boolean
indicating whether to sequentially invoke thetransform
function for each own property. Iftrue
, the function setsoptions.limit=1
. Default:false
.thisArg
: the execution context forfcn
.
By default, all properties are processed concurrently, which means that the function does not guarantee completion order. To process each property sequentially, set the series
option to true
.
function transform( key, value, next ) {
setTimeout( onTimeout, value );
function onTimeout() {
next( null, key+':beep' );
}
}
function done( error, out ) {
if ( error ) {
throw error;
}
console.log( out );
// => { 'a:beep': 1, 'b:beep': 2 }
}
var obj = {
'a': 1,
'b': 2
};
var opts = {
'series': true
};
mapKeysAsync( obj, opts, transform, done );
To limit the maximum number of pending function invocations, set the limit
option.
function transform( key, value, next ) {
setTimeout( onTimeout, value );
function onTimeout() {
next( null, key+':beep' );
}
}
function done( error, out ) {
if ( error ) {
throw error;
}
console.log( out );
// => { 'a:beep': 1, 'b:beep': 2, 'c:beep': 3 }
}
var obj = {
'a': 1,
'b': 2,
'c': 3
};
var opts = {
'limit': 2
};
mapKeysAsync( obj, opts, transform, done );
To set the execution context of the transform
function, set the thisArg
option.
function transform( key, value, next ) {
this.count += 1;
setTimeout( onTimeout, value );
function onTimeout() {
next( null, key+':beep' );
}
}
var obj = {
'a': 1,
'b': 2,
'c': 3
};
var context = {
'count': 0
};
var opts = {
'thisArg': context
};
mapKeysAsync( obj, opts, transform, done );
function done( error, out ) {
if ( error ) {
throw error;
}
console.log( out );
// => { 'a:beep': 1, 'b:beep': 2, 'c:beep': 3 }
console.log( context.count );
// => 3
}
When invoked, the transform
function is provided a maximum of four arguments:
key
: object key.value
: object value corresponding tokey
.obj
: source object.next
: a callback which should be called once thetransform
function has finished processing a property.
The actual number of provided arguments depends on function length
. If the transform
function accepts two arguments, the transform
function is provided key
and next
. If the transform
function accepts three arguments, the transform
function is provided key
, value
, and next
. For every other transform
function signature, the transform
function is provided all four arguments.
function transform( key, value, obj, next ) {
console.log( 'obj: %s. %s: %d', JSON.stringify( obj ), key, value );
setTimeout( onTimeout, value );
function onTimeout() {
next( null, key+':'+value );
}
}
function done( error, out ) {
if ( error ) {
throw error;
}
console.log( out );
}
var obj = {
'a': 1,
'b': 2
};
mapKeysAsync( obj, transform, done );
/* => e.g.,
obj: {"a": 1, "b": 2}. a: 1
obj: {"a": 1, "b": 2}. b: 2
{ 'a:1': 1, 'b:2': 2 }
*/
mapKeysAsync.factory( [options,] transform )
Returns a function
which invokes a transform
function once for each own property.
function transform( key, value, next ) {
setTimeout( onTimeout, value );
function onTimeout() {
next( null, key+':beep' );
}
}
function done( error, out ) {
if ( error ) {
throw error;
}
console.log( out );
}
var f = mapKeysAsync.factory( transform );
var obj1 = {
'a': 1,
'b': 2
};
f( obj1, done );
// => { 'a:beep': 1, 'b:beep': 2 }
var obj2 = {
'c': 3,
'd': 4
};
f( obj2, done );
// => { 'c:beep': 3, 'd:beep': 4 }
The function accepts the same options
as mapKeysAsync()
.
Notes
- If a provided function calls the
next
callback with a truthyerror
argument, the function suspends execution and immediately calls thedone
callback for subsequenterror
handling. - If provided an empty
object
, the function calls thedone
callback with an emptyobject
. - Key iteration order is not guaranteed, as
object
key enumeration is not specified according to the ECMAScript specification. In practice, however, most engines use insertion order to sort anobject
's keys, thus allowing for iteration order. - Key insertion order is not guaranteed.
- The value returned by a
transform
function should be a value which can be serialized as anobject
key. - The function only maps own properties. Hence, the function does not map inherited properties.
- The function shallow copies key values.
- Neither
mapKeysAsync
nor the function returned by thefactory
method guarantee asynchronous execution. To guarantee asynchrony, wrap thedone
callback in a function which either executes at the end of the current stack (e.g.,nextTick
) or during a subsequent turn of the event loop (e.g.,setImmediate
,setTimeout
).
Examples
var resolve = require( 'path' ).resolve;
var readFile = require( '@stdlib/fs/read-file' );
var mapKeysAsync = require( '@stdlib/utils/async/map-keys' );
var files = {
'file1': resolve( __dirname, 'package.json' ),
'file2': resolve( __dirname, 'README.md' )
};
function read( key, value, next ) {
var opts = {
'encoding': 'utf8'
};
readFile( value, opts, onFile );
function onFile( error ) {
if ( error ) {
return next( error, key+':unreadable' );
}
next( null, key+':readable' );
}
}
function done( error, out ) {
if ( error ) {
throw error;
}
console.log( out );
}
mapKeysAsync( files, read, done );
