Non resizable array

Array that don't resize itself when push and pop are called. A separate index is used. This is usefull in scenarios where the array is under a lot of changes, and can make the garbage collector go crazy (in a game loop for instance).

Installation

$ npm install --save non-resizable-array

Usage

const array = new NonResizableArray();
 
array.push(0);
const value = array.pop(0);
 
for(let i = 0; i < array.length; i++) {
  const value = array.peek(i);
}

API

array = new NonResizableArray()

Create a new instance.

value = array.peek(index)

Get the value at index, without modifying the array.

array.push(value)

Push a new value at the tail of the array.

value = array.pop()

Get the tail value of the array. Modify the array.

array.clear()

Clear internal array excess. For instance, if you push a 100 items, then remove 50, the excess is 100 - 50 = 50.

array.dispose()
