Monkey service

The useMonkey service allows you to benefit from Orion Monkey Patching for prototypes like Array, Number, Date, or String but without actually using it.

This is useful for people who don't want to add methods to the native prototypes.
Parameter type will be automatically inferred to provide the available methods.

Tips

Please head to our Monkey Patching guide page for further informations.

Example

useMonkey(['a', 'b', 'c']).delete('b');
// returns -> "['a', 'c']"

useMonkey(new Date(2022, 8, 5)).toReadable('$dddd, $YYYY-$MM-$DD');
// returns -> "Wednesday, 2022-09-05"

useMonkey(1.5).toHoursMinutes();
// returns -> "01:30"

useMonkey('Hello world').insert(' tiny', 5);
// returns -> "Hello tiny world"
