counter-hash-js

counter-hash-js

Purpose

A Node.js library implementing a simple CounterHash class, for incrementing and decrementing keys.

Often it is useful to traverse some data structure, accumulating conters in the process. Class CounterHash provides functions to increment, decrement, add, subtract, and obtain the sum, values, and sorted-keys of the hash.

Examples

Setup

Add counter-hash-js to your project or package.json file:

npm install counter-hash-js

Require counter-hash-js in your code:

CounterHash  = require("counter-hash-js").CounterHash

Note: this library is now implemented in TypeScript, but these examples are in CoffeeScript. For users of TypeScript, see the declaration file for this library at:

https://github.com/cjoakim/counter-hash-js/blob/master/lib/counter-hash-js.d.ts

CounterHash

Methods value(key), increment(key), decrement(key), add(key, n), subtract(key, n), value(key), sum(), sorted_keys(), and sorted_tuples() are available.

h = new CounterHash()
h.increment('a')
h.increment('a')
h.increment('b')
h.decrement('q')
h.increment('z')

h.sum()       -> 3

h.value('a')  -> 2
h.value('x')  -> undefined

h.add('x', 100)
h.subtract('x', 7)

h.value('x')  -> 93

h.sorted_keys() -> [ 'a', 'b', 'q', 'x', 'z' ]

h.sorted_tuples() -> [ ['a', 2], ['b', 1],['q', -1], ['z', 1] ]

CounterHash.VERSION  -> '0.2.0'
