I'm creating a library

Question

Hi, I wanted to ask for some suggestions about a library I' m developing called EasyJavaScript.
It' s made to make JS easier and simplier to use.
I made 6 functions for now, who are:

------------------------------

copy(string to copy) => To copy to clipboard the string you ' ve specified in the 1st parameter

random(max number) => To have a random number from 0 to the number you' ve specified in the 1st parameter

clock() => To have the exact time with this pattern: hh:mm:ss

docId(id) => It substitutes document.getElementById(id)

docTag(tag, numb) => It substitutes document.getElementsByTagName(tag)[numb]

docClass(class, numb) => It substitutes document.getElementsByClass(class)[numb]

------------------------------

I don' t know what to add
any suggestion?

Answer 1

There a ton of libraries out there which make JS simpler. But if you feel like making your own, you should go for it.

Here are some options you might want to consider:
- addClass method for Element
- remClass method for Element
- hasClass method for Element
- toggleClass method for Element
- on (instead of addEventListener) method for Element
- capitilize method for String
- contains method for String and Array
- random method for Array (returns a random array value)
- hasDuplicates method for Array
- getKeyByValue method for Object

These are just suggestions, but I hope you find at least some it useful. Good luck!

EDIT:

// Library examples

docId = document.getElementById.bind(document);

// NOTE: you may try to use an arrow function here, but i find it doesn't work well with the prototype method

Array.prototype.contains = function (value) {
return this.indexOf(value) > -1;
};

// Use case examples

docId("demo"); // Returns Element

let arr = ["a", "b", "c"];

arr.contains("b"); // Returns true
