Denormalize JavaScript objects from a normalized data structure based on a simple schema (implemented with TypeScript).

• Author: Sandro Schmid (saseb.schmid@gmail.com)
• Version: 2.5.0-beta.4

To ease versioning equal major and minor version numbers are used for all modules.

Install using NPM:

npm install --save @normalized-db/denormalizer 

Use the DenormalizerBuilder to create a Denormalizer. Use either schema(…) or schemaConfig(…) to apply a schema configuration. This is the only required parameter. If normalizedData does not contain an object which is needed during denormalization then the Denormalizer will try to lazy load it using fetchCallback. The KeyMap is a helper with a mapping from primary keys to the index of the related object in the normalized data.

To actually denormalize an object or an array of objects use either…

• applyAll(…): Promise<T[]> for objects of a given type
• applyAllKeys(…): Promise<T[]> for objects with keys of a given type
• apply(…): Promise<T> for single objects of a given type
• applyKey(…): Promise<T> for single objects by a key of a given type

The type-argument defines the data-store in which the item should be contained. Using a depth you can define how far the denormalization should be applied. A number means that all targets should be denormalized to the n-th level. null means that the field should be denormalized as far as possible. Note that circular dependencies currently will not be detected. If you need different levels for various fields then use a Depth-object like e.g. { foo: 3, bar: { x: 1, y: null }. This would denormalize up to 3 levels on obj.foo, 1 level on obj.bar.x and everything on obj.bar.y.
