Introduction to Addon Tools

Addon-tools are essential libraries that offer a variety of utilities to streamline and enhance web development. These tools provide dozens of useful APIs designed to simplify common tasks and improve productivity.

API Examples

Below are some practical examples of addon-tools APIs to demonstrate their capabilities:

1. String Manipulation

  const addonTools = require('addon-tools');

  // Convert string to uppercase
  const upperCaseString = addonTools.string.toUpperCase('hello world');
  console.log(upperCaseString); // Output: HELLO WORLD

2. Array Utilities

  // Check if an array contains a value
  const hasValue = addonTools.array.contains([1, 2, 3, 4], 3);
  console.log(hasValue); // Output: true

  // Flatten a nested array
  const flattenedArray = addonTools.array.flatten([1, [2, [3, 4], 5]]);
  console.log(flattenedArray); // Output: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

3. Date and Time

  // Format a date
  const formattedDate = addonTools.date.format(new Date(), 'YYYY-MM-DD');
  console.log(formattedDate); // Output: 2023-10-15

4. Object Manipulation

  // Deep clone an object
  const originalObject = { a: 1, b: { c: 2 } };
  const clonedObject = addonTools.object.deepClone(originalObject);
  console.log(clonedObject); // Output: { a: 1, b: { c: 2 } }

5. HTTP Requests

  // Make a GET request
  addonTools.http.get('https://api.example.com/data')
    .then(response => console.log(response.data))
    .catch(error => console.error(error));

Application Example

To illustrate how these APIs can be used in a real-world application, let’s build a simple web app that utilizes these functionalities:

Sample Web App

  const express = require('express');
  const addonTools = require('addon-tools');
  const app = express();

  app.get('/uppercase/:string', (req, res) => {
    const upperCasedString = addonTools.string.toUpperCase(req.params.string);
    res.send(upperCasedString);
  });

  app.get('/flatten-array', (req, res) => {
    const nestedArray = [1, [2, [3, 4], 5]];
    const flatArray = addonTools.array.flatten(nestedArray);
    res.json(flatArray);
  });

  app.get('/formatted-date', (req, res) => {
    const formattedDate = addonTools.date.format(new Date(), 'YYYY-MM-DD');
    res.send(formattedDate);
  });

  app.get('/clone-object', (req, res) => {
    const originalObject = { a: 1, b: { c: 2 } };
    const clonedObject = addonTools.object.deepClone(originalObject);
    res.json(clonedObject);
  });

  app.get('/fetch-data', (req, res) => {
    addonTools.http.get('https://api.example.com/data')
      .then(response => res.json(response.data))
      .catch(error => res.status(500).send(error));
  });

  app.listen(3000, () => console.log('Server running on port 3000'));

By leveraging addon-tools in your development projects, you can significantly reduce the complexity of common tasks and enhance the overall efficiency of your workflow.
