ZArray
Zuper Array , and array with zuper-powers and more capabilites.
This is a zuper array designed to manage objects inside and indexing them.
New Capabilites
- Specify how to get the key of each element and index them. So we can access to an object inside fast like we were in a map. e.g.
import {ZArray} from '@jrsanchezalcala/zarray';
//here we define that the key of the objects that we are going to store is the 'id',
const zarray = new ZArray('id');
zarray.push({ id : 1232 , brand : "mercedes" , color : "white" })
zarray.push({ id : 2223 , brand : "ford" , color : "blue" })
zarray.push({ id : 3321 , brand : "seat" , color : "red" })
let object = zarray.get(1232)); //this will retrieve the object with 'id' = 1232
//Also we can pass a function which first parameter will be the element to get the key.
const zarray = new ZArray((item) => {
return item.id;
});
Don't forget that this is an array so we have all the zuperpowers of an array.
zarray.filter(item => item.color === "red" ).map(item => item.id)
- You can update an existing element so easy without the need to search where is the element in the array.
zarray.set({id : 2223 , "ford" , color : "black" });
- You can set and autosort passing sort parator method so everytime you set or update a new item the array will be sorted automatically.
zarray.setAutoSort((a , b) => a - b)
// we can also pass this in constructor options
const zarray = new ZArray('id',{
autosort : (a , b) => a - b)
})
- You can load all the data from array easy
zarray.load([{ id : 1232 , brand : "mercedes" , color : "white" },{ id : 2223 , brand : "ford" , color : "blue" }])
So that is for now. This array is still a mediocre array hero but with more training and time it will be a powerful data structure to fight agains huge data villains
