Immutable JSON patch with support for reverting operations.
Features:
Try it out on a playground: https://josdejong.github.io/immutable-json-patch/
See http://jsonpatch.com/ for a clear description of the JSONPatch standard itself.
$ npm install immutable-json-patch
Note that in the lib
folder, there are builds for ESM, UMD, and CommonJs.
ESM:
import { immutableJSONPatch, revertJSONPatch } from 'immutable-json-patch'
CommonJs:
const { immutableJSONPatch, revertJSONPatch } = require('immutable-json-patch')
Example from http://jsonpatch.com/#simple-example, using immutable-json-patch
:
import { immutableJSONPatch, revertJSONPatch } from 'immutable-json-patch' const document = { baz: 'qux', foo: 'bar' } console.log('document', document) const operations = [ { op: 'replace', path: '/baz', value: 'boo' }, { op: 'add', path: '/hello', value: ['world'] }, { op: 'remove', path: '/foo' } ] console.log('operations', operations) const updatedDocument = immutableJSONPatch(document, operations) console.log('updatedDocument', updatedDocument) // updatedDocument = { // "baz": "boo", // "hello": ["world"] // } const reverseOperations = revertJSONPatch(document, operations) console.log('reverseOperations', reverseOperations) // reverseOperations = [ // { op: 'add', path: '/foo', value: 'bar' }, // { op: 'remove', path: '/hello' }, // { op: 'replace', path: '/baz', value: 'qux' } // ] const revertedDocument = immutableJSONPatch(updatedJsonupdatedDocument, reverseOperations) console.log('revertedDocument', revertedJsonrevertedDocument) // revertedDocument = { // "baz": "qux", // "foo": "bar" // }immutableJSONPatch(document, operations [, options]) => updatedDocument
Apply a list with JSON Patch operations to a JSON document.
declare function immutableJSONPatch<T, U = unknown> (document: T, operations: JSONPatchDocument, options?: JSONPatchOptions) : U
Where:
document: T
is a JSON document
operations: JSONPatchDocument
is an array with JSONPatch operations
options: JSONPatchOptions
is an optional object allowing passing hooks before
and after
. With those hooks it is possible to alter the JSON document and/or applied operation before and after this is applied. This allows for example to instantiate classes or additional data structures when applying a JSON patch operation. Or you can keep certain data stats up to date. For example, it is possible to have an array with Customer
class instances, and instantiate a new Customer
when an add
operation is performed. And in this library itself, the before
callback is used to create inverse operations whilst applying the actual operations on the document.
The callbacks look like:
const options = { before: (document: unknown, operation: JSONPatchOperation) => { console.log('before operation', { document, operation }) // return { document?: unknown, operation?: JSONPatchOperation } | undefined }, after: (document: unknown, operation: JSONPatchOperation, previousDocument: unknown) => { console.log('after operation', { document, operation, previousDocument }) // return document | undefined } }
When the before
or after
callback returns an object with altered document
, this will be used to apply the operation. When and altered operation
is returned from before
in an object, this operation will be applied instead of the original operation.
The function returns an updated JSON document where the JSON patch operations are applied. The original JSON document is not changed.
revertJSONPatch(document, operations, options) => reverseOperationsGenerate the JSON patch operations that will revert the provided list with JSON Patch operations when applied to the provided JSON document.
declare function revertJSONPatch<T, U> (document: T, operations: JSONPatchDocument, options?: RevertJSONPatchOptions) : JSONPatchDocument
Where:
document: T
is a JSON documentoperations: JSONPatchDocument
is an array with JSONPatch operationsoptions: JSONPatchOptions
is an optional object allowing passing a hook before
. With this hook it is possible to alter the JSON document and/or generated reverseOperations
before this is applied.The function returns a list with the reverse JSON Patch operations. These operations can be applied to the updated JSON document (the output of immutableJSONPatch
) to restore the original JSON document.
The library exposes a set of utility functions and typeguards to work with JSON pointers and to do immutable operations on JSON data:
declare function parsePath<T>(document: T, path: JSONPointer): JSONPath declare function parseFrom(path: JSONPointer): JSONPath declare function parseJSONPointer (pointer: JSONPointer) : JSONPath declare function compileJSONPointer (path: JSONPath) : JSONPointer declare function compileJSONPointerProp (pathProp: string | number) : JSONPointer declare function appendToJSONPointer (pointer: JSONPointer, pathProp: string | number) : JSONPointer declare function startsWithJSONPointer (pointer: JSONPointer, searchPointer: JSONPointer) : boolean declare function isJSONPatchOperation(operation: unknown): operation is JSONPatchOperation declare function isJSONPatchAdd(operation: unknown): operation is JSONPatchAdd declare function isJSONPatchRemove(operation: unknown): operation is JSONPatchRemove declare function isJSONPatchReplace(operation: unknown): operation is JSONPatchReplace declare function isJSONPatchCopy(operation: unknown): operation is JSONPatchCopy declare function isJSONPatchMove(operation: unknown): operation is JSONPatchMove declare function isJSONPatchTest(operation: unknown): operation is JSONPatchTest declare function getIn<T, U = unknown>(object: U, path: JSONPath) : T | undefined declare function setIn<T, U = unknown, V = unknown> (object: U, path: JSONPath, value: V, createPath = false) : T declare function updateIn<T, U = unknown, V = unknown> (object: T, path: JSONPath, transform: (value: U) => V) : T declare function deleteIn<T, U = unknown> (object: U, path: JSONPath) : T declare function existsIn<T> (document: T, path: JSONPath) : boolean declare function insertAt<T, U = unknown> (document: T, path: JSONPath, value: U) : T declare function transform <T, U = unknown, V = unknown, W = unknown> ( document: U, callback: (document: V, path: JSONPath) => W, path: JSONPath = [] ) : T
