Methods
(inner) determineObjectDataType(inputData, inputMetaDataNot) → {string}
Determines if the contents of a string are actually a Boolean, Integer, Float, String or something else.
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
inputData |
string | A string that contains some value that we should figure out what kind of data type that data is, Boolean, Integer, Float, String or something else. |
inputMetaDataNot |
string | Not used for this business rule. |
Returns:
A string that indicates if the data type should be Boolean, Integer, Float, String or something else.
- Type
- string
(inner) isBoolean(inputData, inputMetaData) → {boolean}
Determines if the input string is a boolean type of value, "true", "True", "TRUE", "t", "T", "y", "Y", "yes", "Yes", "YES", "on", "On", "ON" or "false", "False", "FALSE", "f", "F", "n", "N", "no", "No", "NO"
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
inputData |
string | The string that should be checked if it is a Boolean style value or not, could be some form of "true" or "false". |
inputMetaData |
string | Not used for this business rule. |
Returns:
A Boolean value of True or False to indicate if the input string is a Boolean or not.
- Type
- boolean
(inner) isFloat(inputData, inputMetaData) → {boolean}
Determines if the input string is a floating point type of value or not.
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
inputData |
string | The string that should be checked if it is an integer style value or not. |
inputMetaData |
string | Not used for this business rule. |
Returns:
A Boolean value of true or false to indicate if the input string is a floating point number or not.
- Type
- boolean
(inner) isInteger(inputData, inputMetaData) → {boolean}
Determines if the input string is an integer type of value -9007299254740992 to 9007299254740992.
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
inputData |
string | The string that should be checked if it is an integer style value or not. |
inputMetaData |
string | Not used for this business rule. |
Returns:
A Boolean value of true or false to indicate if the input string is an integer or not.
- Type
- boolean
(inner) isString(inputData, inputMetaData) → {boolean}
Determines if the input string is a string or not, by process of elimination, aka if it's not a Boolean, and not an Integer and not a Float then it must be a string.
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
inputData |
string | The string that should be checked if it is a string and not a Boolean, Integer or Float. |
inputMetaData |
string | Not used for this business rule. |
Returns:
A Boolean value of true or false to indicate if the input string is a string and not a Boolean, Integer or Float; or not (meaning it would be one of those 3 data types, disguised as a string).
- Type
- boolean
(inner) parseSystemRootPath(inputData, inputMetaData) → {string}
Parses the root path as returned by calling: path.resolve(__dirname); This business rule looks for the "AppName" part of the path and will parse that out to determine where on the hard drive this "appName" folder is installed at.
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
inputData |
string | The root path as defined by calling path.resolve(__dirname); |
inputMetaData |
string | The name of the application. |
Returns:
A string with the path up to the application folder, where ever that is installed on the local system currently executing.
- Type
- string
(inner) replaceDoublePercentWithMessage(inputData, inputMetaData) → {string}
Parses the input string and replaces any instance of a double percentage sign with the input Meta Data string.
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
inputData |
string | The string that might contain the double percentage signs. |
inputMetaData |
string | The string that should replace the double percentage signs. |
Returns:
The modified string with the message inserted.
- Type
- string
(inner) stringToBoolean(inputData, inputMetaData) → {boolean}
Converts a string to a boolean value.
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
inputData |
string | A string that contains a truthy or falsy value and should be converted to a boolean value. |
inputMetaData |
string | Not used for this business rule. |
Returns:
A Boolean value of either True or False according to the business rule conversion.
- Type
- boolean
(inner) stringToDataType(inputData, inputMetaData) → {object|string|boolean|integer}
Converts a string to the appropriate data value. So if it's a string value of "3.1415926535897932384626433832" Then it will get converted to a float of the same value. If it's a string value of "false" then it will get converted to a boolean of the same value. If it's a string value of "12" then it will get converted to an integer of the same value. If it's a string value of "Happy Birthday" it will get returned the same as the input, no change, since it's just a string. If it's an array of strings, or collection object, it will get returned as the same as the input, no change.
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
inputData |
string | The string that should be converted to some value. |
inputMetaData |
string | Not used for this business rule. |
Returns:
Returns a value of whatever type the string should be converted to as appropriate.
- Type
- object | string | boolean | integer
(inner) utilitiesReplaceCharacterWithCharacter(inputData, inputMetaData) → {string}
Replaces all of the specified character in the inputData with another specified character.
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
inputData |
string | A string that may or may not contain the specified characters that should be converted to another specified character. |
inputMetaData |
array.<string, string> | An array of data that contains 2 additional string parameters: inputMetaData[0] === character2Find - The character to be searched and replaced from the input string. inputMetaData[1] === character2Replace - The character that should be used to replace the character specified for replacement from the input data. |
Returns:
The same as the input string but with specified characters converted to the other specified character.
