A very limited subset of to-* functions I use every day

npm i to-funcs

Package on npm

• toAscii
• toBoolean
• toCamelCase
• toNumber
• toSlugCase

Simplify a string by removing unsupported characters by the ASCII table

Swap when possible additional characters by their equivalent

For example

const toAscii = require('to-funcs/to-ascii')

// hello-world
toAscii('hêllø‐wörld')

// -
toAscii('💣-ؿ')

Check if data is a String representation of a Boolean

If yes, convert and return the boolean value otherwise return fallback

If data is already a boolean, return data

const toBoolean = require('to-funcs/to-boolean')

// true
toBoolean('true')

// undefined
toBoolean('123')

// false
toBoolean('123', false)

// false
toBoolean(false)

Convert a string to a camel case

The string is simplified with toAscii

const toCamelCase = require('to-funcs/to-camel-case')

// helloWorld
toCamelCase('hêllø‐wörld')

Check if data is a String representation of a Number

If yes, convert and return the numeric value otherwise return fallback

Check also if data is a simple Math expression

If yes, evaluate it and return the numeric value otherwise return fallback

Accepted expressions are:

• number + number
• number - number
• number * number
• number / number

If data is already a number, return data

const toNumber = require('to-funcs/to-number')

// 1.23
toNumber('1.23')

// undefined
toNumber('0.1s')

// 1
toNumber('3.45s', 1)

// -1.23
toNumber(-1.23)

// 3
toNumber('1 + 2')

// .5
toNumber('.1 / .2')

Convert a string to a slug case

The string is simplified with toAscii

const toSlugCase = require('to-funcs/to-slug-case')

// hello-world
toSlugCase('hêlløWörld')

// hello-world
toSlugCase('Hêllø Wörld')
