    linear-array

    Javascript / Node.js utility library. Returns a set of utility functions, available through the lineArr namespace, which serve to generate arrays populated with sequences such as natural or stepWithOffset sequence, and to check if an array is a sequence of a certain type (like a natural sequence [0,1,2,3,4]).

    Install

    There are 2 ways to install and use the library.

    1. npm
    $ npm install --save linear-array
    1. import with a <script> tag
    <script type="module" src="https://unpkg.com/linear-array@2.0.0"></script>

    Importing and using in project

    Since this package can be used on the client side, as UMD or ES6 module, and server side, as CommonJS module, there are 2 ways to import it into your .js file:

    • CommonJS
    const lineArr = require('linear-array');
     
    // ...
     
    linear.isSeqNaturalNumbers([1, 2, 3]); // false
    • ES6
    import {
      isSeqNaturalNumbers,
      fillSeqNaturalNumbers,
      fillStepSequenceWithOffset,
      isStepSequenceWithOffset,
    } from 'linear-array';
     
    // ...
     
    isSeqNaturalNumbers([0, 1, 2, 3]); // true
     
    // OR
     
    import * as lineArr from 'linear-array';
     
    // ...
     
    lineArr.isSeqNaturalNumbers([0, 1, 2, 3]); // true
    • UMD

    If you imported the linear-array library with the <script> tag it will be attached to the globally available window object.

    That's why you can use the module directly in your code by referencing the lineArr module directly

    <!-- index.html -->
    <html>
      <head>
        <!--  -->
      </head>
      <body>
        <script src="https://unpkg.com/linear-array@2.0.0"></script> 
        <script src="custom.js"></script> 
      </body>
    </html>
    // custom.js
     
    lineArr.isStepSequenceWithOffset([1, 2, 3]); // false

    Usage

    Currently, there are 4 methods available in the package.

    Based on the differences in their input and output data types, they can be divided into 2 categories;

    1. inputs / arguments are finite integers, the output value is a filled array of finite integers sorted in an increasing order according to a specific pattern
    2. input / argument is an array of finite integers, and the output value is a boolean which indicates it the given array conforms to a specific pattern

    But both categories operate on the same pattern of data types, and these patterns can be categorized in a mathematical sense as Sequences.

    But, repetition of numbers in the arrays is not allowed.

    Sequence of natural numbers

    fillSeqNaturalNumbers (limiter: number, [includeLast = false]: boolean) => number[]

    fillSeqNaturalNumbers(limiter, inludeLast?) === [0, 1, 2, 3, ... , includeLast ? limiter : (limiter - 1)]
     
    (0) -> []
     
    (7) -> [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
     
    (7, true) -> [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]
     

    isSeqNaturalNumbers(arr: number[]) => boolean

    isSeqNaturalNumbers(arr) === true || false
     
    ([]) -> false
     
    ([0]) -> true
     
    ([0,1,2,3,4]) -> true
     
    ([2,3,4,5,6]) -> false
     
    ([0,1,2,3,5]) -> false
     

    Sequence of numbers with a specified fixed step and offset

    fillStepSequenceWithOffset (limiter: number, [step = 1]: number, [offset = 0]: number) => number[]

    fillStepSequenceWithOffset(limiter, step?, offset?) === [0+offset, step + offset, 2*step + offset, ..., (limiter - 1)*step + offset]
     
    (0) -> []
     
    (0,1,1) -> []
     
    (1,1,1) -> [1]
     
    (5) -> [0, 1, 2, 3, 4]
     
    (5,1,3) -> [3, 4, 5, 6, 7]
     
    (5,3) -> [0, 3, 6, 9, 12]
     
    (5,2,2) -> [2, 4, 6, 8, 10]

    isStepSequenceWithOffset (arr: number[], [step = 1]: number, [offset = 0]: number) => boolean

    isStepSequenceWithOffset(arr, step?, offset?) === true || false
     
    ([]) -> false
     
    ([0]) -> true
     
    ([0],1,1) -> false
     
    ([0,1,2,3,4]) -> true
     
    ([0,1,2,3,4], 2) -> false
     
    ([0,1,2,3,4], 1, 1) -> false
     
    ([1,2,3,4,5], 1, 1) -> true
     
    ([6,9,12,15,18], 3, 6) -> true
     
    ([5,9,12,15,19], 3, 6) -> false

    Release history

    2.0.0.

    BREAKING CHANGES:

    The linearArray method no longer exists and it is not imported directly from the library.

    The closes equivalent to the old linearArray method is now fillSeqNaturalNumbers

    NEW FEATURES:

    This update has 4 new methods:

    • fillSeqNaturalNumbers

    • isSeqNaturalNumbers

    • fillStepSequenceWithOffset

    • isStepSequenceWithOffset

    See the Usage section on what they are and how they are used.
