array-extended

array-extended is a Javascript library that can be used standalone or incorporated into extended

var array = require("array-extended");

Or

var myextended = require("extended")
    .register(require("array-extended"));

Installation

npm install array-extended

Or download the source (minified)

Usage

array-extended includes many useful methods that for array. All of the functions can be chained together using array-exteded as a function or you can use the functions directly as shown in the examples.

The following native ES5 methods are included for completeness.

  • forEach
  • map
  • filter
  • reduce
  • reduceRight
  • some
  • every
  • indexOf
  • lastIndexOf

Note forEach returns the original array for chaining purposes.

sum

Sums the values of an array.

 
array.sum([1,2,3]); //6
 
array([1,2,3]).sum().value(); //6
 

avg

Finds the average of an array of numbers.

 
array.avg([1,2,3]); //2
 
array([1,2,3]).avg().value(); //2
 

sort

Sorts an array based on a property, by natural ordering, or by a custom comparator.

Note this does not change the original array.

 
array.sort([{a: 1},{a: 2},{a: -2}], "a"); //[{a: -2},{a: 1},{a: 2}];
 
array([{a: 1},{a: 2},{a: -2}]).sort("a"); //[{a: -2},{a: 1},{a: 2}];
 
 

min

Finds the minimum value in an array based on a property, by natural ordering, or by a custom comparator.

 
array.min([ 3, -3, -2, -1, 1, 2]); //-3
 
array.min([{a: 1},{a: 2},{a: -2}], "a"); //{a : -2}
 
array([ 3, -3, -2, -1, 1, 2]).min(); //-3
 
array([{a: 1},{a: 2},{a: -2}]).min("a"); //{a : -2}
 

max

Finds the maximum value in an array based on a property, by natural ordering, or by a custom comparator.

 
array.max([ 3, -3, -2, -1, 1, 2]); //2
 
array.max([{a: 1},{a: 2},{a: -2}], "a"); //{a : 2}
 
array([ 3, -3, -2, -1, 1, 2]).max(); //2
 
array([{a: 1},{a: 2},{a: -2}]).max("a"); //{a : 2}
 

difference

Finds the difference between two arrays.

array.difference([1, 2, 3], [2]); //[1, 3]
array.difference([true, false], [false]); //[true]
array.difference(["a", "b", 3], [3]); //["a", "b"]
 
var a = , b = , c = ;
array.difference([{a: 1}, {a: 2}, {a: 3}], [{a: 2}, {a: 3}]); //[{a: 1}]
 
array([true, false]).difference([false]).value()// [true]
array([1, 2, 3]).difference([2]).value()// [1, 3]
array([1, 2, 3]).difference([2], [3]).value(); //[1]
array(["a", "b", 3]).difference([3]).value(); ["a", "b"]
array([{a: 1}, {a: 2}, {a: 3}]).difference([{a: 2}, {a: 3}]).value(); [{a: 1}]

unique

array.unique([1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4]); //[1, 2, 3, 4]
array([1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4]).unique().value();  //[1, 2, 3, 4]
 
array(["a", "b", "b"]).unique().value(); //["a", "b"]
array.unique(["a", "b", "b"]); //["a", "b"]
