simple-linked-lists

About

simple-linked-lists is a package for creating a linked list structure.
It provides one LinkedList class you can instanciate and populate with LinkedListNode instances.

Install

npm install --save simple-linked-lists
yarn add simple-linked-lists

Usage

simple-linked-lists exports a LinkedList and a LinkedListNode classes you can import :

// ES6
import { LinkedList, LinkedListNode } from "simple-linked-lists";

// ES5
const LinkedList = require("simple-linked-lists").LinkedList;
const LinkedListNode = require("simple-linked-lists").LinkedListNode;

Once imported, you just have to instanciate nodes and add them to the list to have an usable linked list.

import { LinkedList, LinkedListNode } from "simple-linked-lists";

const node = new LinkedListNode();
const list = new LinkedList();

list.addToHead(node); // Add the node to the head of the list
list.addToTail(node); // Add the node to the tail of the list
list.removeHead(); // Remove the head node of the list
list.removeTail(); // Remove the tail node of the list

You can extend the LinkedListNode to create your own data set you can put in the list.
