container-doublylist

DoublyList implementation in JavaScript

To manage a list of elements. Best use case: elements are frequently removed from the list. Complexity in O(1) for addition and removal.

Note: Benchmarks seem to show that list iteration is as fast as array iteration on all major browsers.

To instantiate a new list:

var myList = new DoublyList();

To add an element:

var myObjectReference = myList.add(myObject); // add on front by default
// or
var myObjectReference = myList.addFront(myObject);
// or
var myObjectReference = myList.addBack(myObject);

To remove an element:

myList.removeByReference(myObjectReference); // O(1)
// or
myList.remove(myObject); // O(n)

To pop an element:

var myObject = myList.pop(); // pop from front by default
// or
var myObject = myList.popFront();
// or
var myObject = myList.popBack();

To insert an element before the given node:

var myOtherObjectReference = myList.addBefore(myObjectReference, myOtherObject);

To insert an element after the given node:

var myOtherObjectReference = myList.addAfter(myObjectReference, myOtherObject);

To move an element to the beginning:

myList.moveToTheBeginning(myObjectReference);

To move an element to the end:

myList.moveToTheEnd(myObjectReference);

To iterate through the elements:

for (var node = myList.first; node !== null; node = node.next) {
    node.object += 1;
}

To apply a treatment on all the elements:

myList.forEach(function (object) {
    console.log(object);
});

To convert into an array:

var myArray = myList.toArray();
