# immutability-util

> Mutate a copy of data without changing the original source. Inspired by [kolodny/immutability-helper](https://github.com/kolodny/immutability-helper) / [ProtoTeam/immutability-helper-x](https://github.com/ProtoTeam/immutability-helper-x) and rewrite with ES6 syntax for **convenient API** and **higher performance**.

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/hustcc/immutability-util.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/hustcc/immutability-util) [![Coverage Status](https://coveralls.io/repos/github/hustcc/immutability-util/badge.svg?branch=master)](https://coveralls.io/github/hustcc/immutability-util?branch=master) [![npm](https://img.shields.io/npm/v/immutability-util.svg)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/immutability-util) [![npm download](https://img.shields.io/npm/dm/immutability-util.svg)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/immutability-util)

## 1. Features

Features or key points.

1. Use **chainble API** to mutate a copy of object.
2. Simplify your code by finding target to be updated with **path string**.
3. Maybe can optimize your web app with a bit **higher performance**.

## 2. Install & Usage

Install with NPM.

```sh
npm install -S immutability-util
```

Then use it.

```js
const iu = require('immutability-util');
// or
import iu from 'immutability-util';

// obj need to be mutated.
var obj = {
a: 1,
b: 2,
c: {
d: 3,
e: {
f: [4, 5, 6],
g: {
h: 'iu',
},
},
i: {
j: 'hello, world.',
k: [7, 8, 9],
l: [10, 11, 12],
}
},
};

// chainable usage.
const state = iu(obj)
.$apply(['a'], v => v + 1)
.$merge(['c', 'e', 'g'], { m: 'update'})
.$push(['c', 'e', 'f'], [7, 8, 9])
.$set(['c', 'i', 'j'], 'hello node 8.')
.$splice(['c', 'i', 'k'], [[1, 1, 10]])
.$unset(['c'], ['d'])
.$unshift(['c', 'i', 'l'], [13])
.value(); // then get the mutated copy.

// or use path string.
iu(obj).$set('c.i.j', 'hello node 8.').value();
```

And process array like this:

```js
const obj = {
a: {
b: [{
c: [1, 2, 3],
}, {
d: 4,
}, {
e: [5, 6],
}]
}
};
const state = iu(obj)
.$apply('a.b[1].d', v => v + 1)
.$push('a.b[0].c', [4])
.$set('a.b[2].e[0]', 'hello node 8.')
.value();
```

## 3. Available API

After got the instance of `ImmutabilityUtil`, you can use the chainable methods below.

- `$apply(path, function)`: passes in the current value to the function and updates it with the new returned value.
- `$merge(path, object)`: merge the keys of object with the target.
- `$push(path, array)`: push() all the items in array on the target.
- `$set(path, any)`: replace the target entirely.
- `$splice(path, array of arrays)`: call splice() with the array of arrays on the target with the parameters provided by the item.
- `$unset(path, array of strings)`: remove the list of keys in array from the target object.
- `$unshift(path, array)`: unshift() all the items in array on the target.

~~~Also you can use API `update()`, and put **spec** into it, just like immutability-helper.~~~

Then you can use API `value()` to get the immutable data copy. All the value of method are compatible with `immutability-helper`.

Your pull requests are needed for more API.

## 4. Build & Test

You can develop and test as below.
```sh
npm run build
# run the testcases
npm run test
```

You can run `npm run benchmark` to get the comparison of performance.
