Working with "dynamic" objects

[ptusch]

Hey there,

I'm trying to get a grip on this library and would love to use it with objects. Currently, I'm trying to parse a version and based on the object's major/minor/patch, do different things:

'use strict';

const matches = require('z').matches;
const semver = require('semver-utils');

const manual = {
  major: '1',
};
const parsed = semver.parse('1.0.0');

// Always default
matches(parsed).call(parsed,
  (x = {major: '1'}) => console.log('m_one'),
  (x = {major: '2'}) => console.log('m_two'),
  (x = null) => console.log('default'),
  (x) => console.dir(x)
)

// Always 1 but static :(
matches(manual).call(manual,
  (x = {major: '1'}) => console.log('m_one'),
  (x = {major: '2'}) => console.log('m_two'),
  (x = null) => console.log('default'),
  (x) => console.dir(x)
)

Following the sample from the documentation results that Marie is welcome - it works as expected and my implementation for manual does, too. But that is basic stuff I don't need. I'd like to patternmatch things dynamically. I'm not sure if it's possible of if I'm just using the library in the wrong manner.

I've read about the .call approach in other issues but this doesn't seem to help.

Help is much appreciated!

Hi @ptusch , you are right, currently is only matching EXACT objects. This feature about matching "dynamic objects" was on the roadmap for a while but is not implemented yet.

I'll give it high priority and I'm going try to release that until the end of the day!

Wow, thanks @leonardiwagner it is much appreciated!

Hey @ptusch this feature was implemented, many thanks for reporting that! :tada:

Please use the new version z@1.0.6 and give me a feedback if it's working as expected now, or if still not working for you.

Works as intended now, thanks. Kudos for this lightning fast reaction! Thats really nice! :+1:
