A collection of functions for operating upon Lists.
Lists is a pair of key list and value list, with unique keys. It is an an
alternative to Entries. Unless entries are implemented as structs by v8,
lists should be more space efficient. This package includes common functions
related to querying about lists, generating them, comparing one with
another, finding their size, adding and removing entries, obtaining
its properties, getting a part of it, getting a subset entries in
it, finding an entry in it, performing functional operations,
manipulating it in various ways, combining together lists or its
sub-entries, of performing set operations upon it. All functions except
fromEntries()
take lists as 1st parameter.
This package is available in Node.js and Web formats. To use it on the web,
simply use the extra_lists
global variable after loading with a <script>
tag from the jsDelivr CDN.
Stability: Experimental.
const xlists = require('extra-lists');
// import * as xlists from 'extra-lists';
// import * as xlists from 'https://unpkg.com/extra-lists/index.mjs'; (deno)
var x = [['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e'], [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]];
xlists.filter(x, v => v % 2 === 1);
// → [ [ 'a', 'c', 'e' ], [ 1, 3, 5 ] ]
var x = [['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'], [1, 2, -3, -4]];
xlists.some(x, v => v > 10);
// → false
var x = [['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'], [1, 2, -3, -4]];
xlists.min(x);
// → -4
var x = [['a', 'b', 'c'], [1, 2, 3]];
[...xlists.subsets(x)].map(a => [[...a[0]], [...a[1]]]);
// → [
// → [ [], [] ],
// → [ [ 'a' ], [ 1 ] ],
// → [ [ 'b' ], [ 2 ] ],
// → [ [ 'a', 'b' ], [ 1, 2 ] ],
// → [ [ 'c' ], [ 3 ] ],
// → [ [ 'a', 'c' ], [ 1, 3 ] ],
// → [ [ 'b', 'c' ], [ 2, 3 ] ],
// → [ [ 'a', 'b', 'c' ], [ 1, 2, 3 ] ]
// → ]
