Alinex Util: Readme

This module will be used as incubator for different small helper methods which are generally used for different general class types:

general helper
string helper
number helper
array helper
object helper

It is one of the modules of the Alinex Namespace following the code standards defined in the General Docs.

Install

See theVersion changes for a list of changes in recent versions.

The easiest way is to let npm add the module directly to your modules (from within you node modules directory):

Shell Script
npm install alinex-util --save

General Usage

All methods in this package can be called from the util object:

CoffeeScript Code
util = require 'alinex-util'
raw = { eins: 1 }
copy = util.clone raw
console.log util.inspect copy

Or you may directly import only the needed objects with:

CoffeeScript Code
{string, object} = require 'alinex-util'
array = require 'alinex-util/lib/mod/array'

The first example load all methods, while the second example only load the needed type library.

The library may be used as replacement for the node util package because it also exports theutil.inspect() method from NodeJS core which is the only really needed method from this package.
