Functions/methods options

[tylergrow]

First of all, thank you! This is one of the first packages I add to new projects.

I typically use this plugin to create db/json-friendly objects from third-party APIs, and end up using the cleanKeys option once I've sussed-out those functions.

Thanks again!

EDIT

Current trial-and-error solution

With some trial and error I can usually find and clean functions in an object with the cleanKeys option.

It's not always easy to find every key associated with a function, especially deeply nested functions.

My current struggles

const cleanDeep = require("clean-deep");

const object = {
    foo: "bar",
    fn: () => {
        return `I wish clean-deep had an option to remove functions like this`;
    },
    someUnknownFunctionKey: () => {
        return `I'm a pain in the ass to find`;
    },
};

const result = cleanDeep(object, {
    cleanKeys: ["fn"],
});

/** Output 

    {
       foo: 'bar'
    },
    someUnknownFunctionKey: () => {
        return `I'm a pain in the ass to find`;
    },

 */

. . .

In an ideal world...

... an ideal world where saving a split second actually made a difference...

I'm really looking for an option like cleanKeys, emptyArrays, etc., but for functions.

In my head the functions option looks like this...

const cleanDeep = require("clean-deep");


const object = {
    foo: "bar",
    fn: () => {
        return `I wish clean-deep had an option to remove functions like this`;
    },
    someUnknownFunctionKey: () => {
        return `I'm a pain in the ass to find`;
    },
};

const result = cleanDeep(object, {
    functions: true
});
/** Successful Output 

    {
       foo: 'bar'
    }

 */
