Range

Define and work with number (integer) ranges easily. Instead of requiring the full ranges in memory it allows for easy checks on containment, size and can turn ranges (or collections of ranges) into short string notations.

Installation

Range is a scoped package, the scope needs to be provided for both the installation and usage

$ npm install --save @konfirm/range

Usage

The range package consists of two exported classes; Range and RangeCollection. A Range is created with zero or more numeric arguments, from which the minimum and maximum values are used to determine the full range. A RangeCollection is a wrapper for multiple Range instances providing the same API as Range so it can be used in the same places.

import { Range, RangeCollection } from '@konfirm/range';
const small = new Range(0, 100);
const large = new Range(10000, 99999);
const combi = new RangeCollection(small, large);

small.contains(50); //  true
large.contains(50); //  false
combi.contains(50); //  true

small.contains(500); //  false
large.contains(500); //  false
combi.contains(500); //  false

small.contains(12345); //  false
large.contains(12345); //  true
combi.contains(12345); //  true

NOTE While the examples use the import syntax, the require syntax has remained unchanged as the Range package is also published as CJS (CommonJS) package. Simply replace import { ... } from '@konfirm/range'; to const { ... } = require('@konfirm/range');.

Range

A Range is the full sequence of integer values between the given minimum and maximum.

`Inifity`

As Infinity is a recognized valid value (despite it not being an integer number) and it is not well represented in the JSON format, it will always be represented by the string 'INF'. This is true for all of the string(able) formatters (toString, toHex and toJSON) as well as the Range creator methods (fromString, fromHex and fromJSON).

`new Range(...<Number|String> mumeric values)`

Construct new Range instances by providing zero or more numeric values, the values will be processed using parseInt(<value>, 10) (ensuring decimal integers) and will contain every integer value from the minimum value up to and including the maximum value.

import { Range } from '@konfirm/range';
const range = new Range(0, 10);

range.contains(0); // true
range.contains(10); // true
range.contains(11); // false

If more than two values are provided, Range will use only the lowest and highest values, ignoring everything in between.

import { Range } from '@konfirm/range';
const range = new Range(0, 2, 3, 7, 8, 10);

range.contains(0); // true
range.contains(10); // true
range.contains(11); // false

If a single value is provided, the full range consists of that value

import { Range } from '@konfirm/range';
const range = new Range(10);

range.contains(9); // false
range.contains(10); // true
range.contains(11); // false

If no values are provided, the Range will be from -Infinity to Infinity, basically containing every possible integer value. Be very careful not to use an iterator on it, as that will try to generate an infite number of values, which means a never ending loop.

import { Range } from '@konfirm/range';
const range = new Range();

range.contains(-Infinity); // true
range.contains(Infinity); // true

properties

A Range has various properties indication the min, max values and the size.

property	type	description
`min`	Number (integer)	the lowest value (lower limit) of the Range
`max`	Number (integer)	the highest value (upper limit) of the Range
`size`	Number (integer)	the number of values represented by the Range

import { Range } from '@konfirm/range';
const range = new Range(100, 199);

range.min; //  100
range.max; //  199
range.size; //  100

contains

Verify whether one or more values are within the Range min and max values (inclusive).

argument	type	default	description
`...values`	`Number`		Zero or more number values to verify the containment in the Range

import { Range } from '@konfirm/range';
const range = new Range(100, 199);

range.contains(100); //  true
range.contains(150); //  true
range.contains(200); //  false

range.contains(100, 150); //  true
range.contains(100, 200); //  false

toString

Casts a Range instance into its string representation. The separator can be specified, the default is '..' (double full-stop).

argument	type	default	description
`separator`	`String`	`'..'`	The separator between the Ranges' `min` and `max` values

import { Range } from '@konfirm/range';
const range = new Range(100, 199);

range.toString(); // '100..199'
String(range); // '100..199'
'range:' + range; // 'range:100..199'
`range:${range}`; // 'range:100..199'

Or with a different separator (note that specifying arguments only works when called manually)

import { Range } from '@konfirm/range';
const range = new Range(100, 199);

range.toString('/'); // '100/199'

toHex

Like toString, but using a hexadecimal representation for the numbers. Optinally the length of the hexadecimal number and the separator can be specified.

argument	type	default	description
`length`	`Number`	`0`	The minimum hexadecimal string length
`separator`	`String`	`'..'`	The separator between the Ranges' `min` and `max` values

Specifying the length of the hexadecimal representation does not take the minus (-) into consideration, nor does it pad the INF symbol which represents Infinity.

import { Range } from '@konfirm/range';
const range = new Range(100, 199);

range.toHex(); // '64..c7'

Or with a different length

import { Range } from '@konfirm/range';
const range = new Range(100, 199);

range.toHex(4); // '0064..00c7'
range.toHex(7); // '0000064..00000c7'

Or with a different separator

import { Range } from '@konfirm/range';
const range = new Range(100, 199);

range.toHex(0, '/'); // '64/c7'
range.toHex(4, '/'); // '0064/00c7'
range.toHex(7, '/'); // '00000064/00000c7'

toJSON

Represent the Range in a JSON-able format.

import { Range } from '@konfirm/range';
const range = new Range(100, 199);

range.toJSON(); // {min:100,max:199}
JSON.stringify(range); // '{"min":100,"max":199}'

If the Range consists of a single value, only min will be specified

import { Range } from '@konfirm/range';
const range = new Range(100);

range.toJSON(); // {min:100}
JSON.stringify(range); // '{"min":100}'

iterator

Range implements the Symbol.iterator method as generator, allowing it to be used in a for..of loop and for Array destructing

import { Range } from '@konfirm/range';
const range = new Range(0, 5);

for (const value of range) {
	console.log(value);
}
// expected output: 0
// expected output: 1
// expected output: 2
// expected output: 3
// expected output: 4
// expected output: 5

const array = [...range]; // [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Range.fromString

Create a Range instance from a string representation with decimal value format (e.g. created with the toString method)

argument	type	default	description
`range`	`String`		The string representing the Range with decimal formatted values
`separator`	`String`	`'..'`	The separator between the Ranges' `min` and `max` values

import { Range } from '@konfirm/range';
const range = Range.fromString('123..789');

range.min; //  123
range.max; //  789
