It comes with useful methods for Arrays (clone, merge, applyToDefaults), Objects (removeKeys, copy), Asserting and more. + +For example, to use Hoek to set configuration with default options: +```javascript +var Hoek = require('hoek'); + +var default = {url : "www.github.com", port : "8000", debug : true}; + +var config = Hoek.applyToDefaults(default, {port : "3000", admin : true}); + +// In this case, config would be { url: 'www.github.com', port: '3000', debug: true, admin: true } +``` + +Under each of the sections (such as Array), there are subsections which correspond to Hoek methods. Each subsection will explain how to use the corresponding method. In each js excerpt below, the `var Hoek = require('hoek');` is omitted for brevity. + +## Object + +Hoek provides several helpful methods for objects and arrays. + +### clone(obj) + +This method is used to clone an object or an array. A *deep copy* is made (duplicates everything, including values that are objects, as well as non-enumerable properties). + +```javascript + +var nestedObj = { + w: /^something$/ig, + x: { + a: [1, 2, 3], + b: 123456, + c: new Date() + }, + y: 'y', + z: new Date() + }; + +var copy = Hoek.clone(nestedObj); + +copy.x.b = 100; + +console.log(copy.y); // results in 'y' +console.log(nestedObj.x.b); // results in 123456 +console.log(copy.x.b); // results in 100 +``` + +### cloneWithShallow(obj, keys) +keys is an array of key names to shallow copy + +This method is also used to clone an object or array, however any keys listed in the `keys` array are shallow copied while those not listed are deep copied. + +```javascript + +var nestedObj = { + w: /^something$/ig, + x: { + a: [1, 2, 3], + b: 123456, + c: new Date() + }, + y: 'y', + z: new Date() + }; + +var copy = Hoek.cloneWithShallow(nestedObj, ['x']); + +copy.x.b = 100; + +console.log(copy.y); // results in 'y' +console.log(nestedObj.x.b); // results in 100 +console.log(copy.x.b); // results in 100 +``` + +### merge(target, source, isNullOverride, isMergeArrays) +isNullOverride, isMergeArrays default to true + +Merge all the properties of source into target, source wins in conflict, and by default null and undefined from source are applied. +Merge is destructive where the target is modified. For non destructive merge, use `applyToDefaults`. + + +```javascript + +var target = {a: 1, b : 2}; +var source = {a: 0, c: 5}; +var source2 = {a: null, c: 5}; + +Hoek.merge(target, source); // results in {a: 0, b: 2, c: 5} +Hoek.merge(target, source2); // results in {a: null, b: 2, c: 5} +Hoek.merge(target, source2, false); // results in {a: 1, b: 2, c: 5} + +var targetArray = [1, 2, 3]; +var sourceArray = [4, 5]; + +Hoek.merge(targetArray, sourceArray); // results in [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] +Hoek.merge(targetArray, sourceArray, true, false); // results in [4, 5] +``` + +### applyToDefaults(defaults, options, isNullOverride) +isNullOverride defaults to false + +Apply options to a copy of the defaults + +```javascript + +var defaults = { host: "localhost", port: 8000 }; +var options = { port: 8080 }; + +var config = Hoek.applyToDefaults(defaults, options); // results in { host: "localhost", port: 8080 } +``` + +Apply options with a null value to a copy of the defaults + +```javascript + +var defaults = { host: "localhost", port: 8000 }; +var options = { host: null, port: 8080 }; + +var config = Hoek.applyToDefaults(defaults, options, true); // results in { host: null, port: 8080 } +``` + +### applyToDefaultsWithShallow(defaults, options, keys) +keys is an array of key names to shallow copy + +Apply options to a copy of the defaults. Keys specified in the last parameter are shallow copied from options instead of merged. + +```javascript + +var defaults = { + server: { + host: "localhost", + port: 8000 + }, + name: 'example' + }; + +var options = { server: { port: 8080 } }; + +var config = Hoek.applyToDefaults(defaults, options); // results in { server: { port: 8080 }, name: 'example' } +``` + +### deepEqual(b, a, [options]) + +Performs a deep comparison of the two values including support for circular dependencies, prototype, and properties. To skip prototype comparisons, use `options.prototype = false` + +```javascript +Hoek.deepEqual({ a: [1, 2], b: 'string', c: { d: true } }, { a: [1, 2], b: 'string', c: { d: true } }); //results in true +Hoek.deepEqual(Object.create(null), {}, { prototype: false }); //results in true +Hoek.deepEqual(Object.create(null), {}); //results in false +``` + +### unique(array, key) + +Remove duplicate items from Array + +```javascript + +var array = [1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 6]; + +var newArray = Hoek.unique(array); // results in [1,2,3,4,5,6] + +array = [{id: 1}, {id: 1}, {id: 2}]; + +newArray = Hoek.unique(array, "id"); // results in [{id: 1}, {id: 2}] +``` + +### mapToObject(array, key) + +Convert an Array into an Object + +```javascript + +var array = [1,2,3]; +var newObject = Hoek.mapToObject(array); // results in [{"1": true}, {"2": true}, {"3": true}] + +array = [{id: 1}, {id: 2}]; +newObject = Hoek.mapToObject(array, "id"); // results in [{"id": 1}, {"id": 2}] +``` + +### intersect(array1, array2) + +Find the common unique items in two arrays + +```javascript + +var array1 = [1, 2, 3]; +var array2 = [1, 4, 5]; + +var newArray = Hoek.intersect(array1, array2); // results in [1] +``` + +### contain(ref, values, [options]) + +Tests if the reference value contains the provided values where: +- `ref` - the reference string, array, or object. +- `values` - a single or array of values to find within the `ref` value.
