fluent-sort

A fluent sorting library for JavaScript

fluent-sort is a compact, dependency-free library (about 1.5kb gzipped) that provides a fluent API for sorting JavaScript arrays with a more sane API.

Example

const testCases = [
  {
    id: 0,
    name: "Strong Monster",
    strength: 10,
    agility: 5,
    intelligence: 8,
    monsterdexOrder: 5
  },
  {
    id: 1,
    name: "Fast Monster",
    strength: 5,
    agility: 10,
    intelligence: 5,
    monsterdexOrder: 1
  },
  {
    id: 2,
    name: "Mediocre Monster",
    strength: 7.5,
    agility: 7.5,
    intelligence: 8,
    monsterdexOrder: 6
  },
  {
    id: 3,
    name: "Unimpressive Monster",
    strength: 2,
    agility: 2,
    intelligence: 2,
    monsterdexOrder: 4
  },
  {
    id: 4,
    name: "Slow Monster",
    strength: 7.5,
    agility: 3,
    intelligence: 8,
    monsterdexOrder: 17
  },
  {
    id: 5,
    name: "Smart Monster",
    strength: 3,
    agility: 7.5,
    intelligence: 15,
    monsterdexOrder: 75
  }
];
 
const secondTest = [...testCases];
const thirdTestCase = [...testCases];
 
const sortedTests = new FluentSortArray(...testCases) // Spreads the array to construct a new FluentSortArray using native Array constructor syntax
  .sortBy(x => x.intelligence) // Returns the extended array
  .thenBy(y => y.agility) // Returns the same extended array
  .executeCompositeSort(); // Performs the sort and returns the extended array
 
const secondTestFromFluent = FluentSortArray.fromArray(secondTest); // Constructs a new FluentSortArray from the array provided
const thirdTestMakingFluent = FluentSortArray.makeFluent(thirdTestCase)
  .sortBy(x => x.monsterdexOrder)
  .executeCompositeSort(); // Mutates thirdTestCase into a FluentSortArray
 
console.log(sortedTests.map(x => x.name).join(""));
console.log(secondTest.map(x => x.name).join(""));
console.log(secondTestFromFluent.map(x => x.name).join(""));
console.log(thirdTestCase.map(x => x.name).join(""));
console.log(thirdTestMakingFluent.map(x => x.name).join(""));
/*
Unimpressive Monster, Fast Monster, Slow Monster, Strong Monster, Mediocre Monster, Smart Monster
Strong Monster, Fast Monster, Mediocre Monster, Unimpressive Monster, Slow Monster, Smart Monster
Strong Monster, Fast Monster, Mediocre Monster, Unimpressive Monster, Slow Monster, Smart Monster
Fast Monster, Unimpressive Monster, Strong Monster, Mediocre Monster, Slow Monster, Smart Monster
