Installation
$ npm install -s 'ig-types'
Basic usage
To extend everything:
require('ig-types')
To have access to additional library types and utilities:
var types = require('ig-types')
types.js is organized so as to be able to import/extend only specific
sub-modules mostly independently so...
In case there is a need to only extend a specific constructor just import
the module dealing with that constructor (Array in this case):
// require `ig-types/<constructor-name>`...
require('ig-types/Array')
Note that type patching modules are mostly independent.
And to import specific library modules only:
var containers = require('ig-types/containers')
Object
require('ig-types/Object')
Note that this module imports from
object.js and
object-run.js,
see those modules for more details.
Object.deepKeys(..)
Get list of keys from all objects in the prototype chain.
Object.deepKeys(<obj>)
-> <keys>
This is different from Object.keys(..) which only gets own keys from the
current object.
Example:
var a = { x: 123 }
var b = Object.create(a)
b.y = 321
// get own keys of b...
Object.keys(b) // -> ['y']
// get all keys accessible from b...
Object.deepKeys(b) // -> ['x', 'y']
For more details see: https://github.com/flynx/object.js#deepkeys
Object.copy(..) (EXPERIMENTAL)
Create a copy of <obj>
Object.copy(<obj>)
-> <obj-copy>
Object.copy(<obj>, <constructor>)
-> <obj-copy>
This will:
- create a blank
<obj-copy> - link
<obj-copy>to the same prototype chain - assign all own keys from
<obj>to<obj-copy>
This is similar to Object.clone(..) but instead of creating a new descendant of
the input object with no data this will instead create a new sibling with a copy
of the instance data.
<constructor> if given is called to create the instance to be populated,
otherwise Object.create(<obj>) is used.
Note that .assign(..) is used to copy data, thus properties will be copied as values, to copy instance properties use object.js's
.mixinFlat(..).
Note that this will make no attempt to clone object type, a <constructor>
should be passed manually if any instance type other that Object is required.
Object.flatCopy(..)
Copy all attributes from the prototype chain of <obj> into <new-obj>.
Object.flatCopy(<obj>)
-> <new-obj>
Object.flatCopy(<obj>, <constructor>)
-> <new-obj>
This is different to .copy(..) in that if
no <constructor> is given <new-obj> will not be linked into the
prototype chain of <obj>, if this behavior is desired use o => Object.create(o)
as the <constructor>.
Object.match(..)
Attribute/value match two objects (non-recursive).
Object.match(<object>, <other>)
-> <bool>
Objects A and B match iff:
AandBare identical, i.e.A === B
or
typeof A == typeof Band,AandBhave the same number of attributes and,- attribute names match and,
- attribute values are identical.
And for a less strict match:
Object.match(<object>, <other>, true)
-> <bool>
Like the default case but uses equality instead of identity to match values.
For more details see: https://github.com/flynx/object.js#match
Object.matchPartial(..)
Object.matchPartial(<object>, <other>)
-> <bool>
Object.matchPartial(<object>, <other>, true)
-> <bool>
Like .match(..) but will check for a partial match, i.e. when <other> is a non-strict subset of <object>.
For more details see: https://github.com/flynx/object.js#matchpartial
<object>.run(..)
<object>.run(<func>)
-> <object>
-> <other>
Run a function in the context of <object> returning either <object>
itself (if returning undefined) or the result.
Note that this is accessible from all JavaScript non-primitive objects,
i.e. everything that inherits from Object.
Example:
var L = [1, 2, 3]
.map(function(e){
return e * 2 })
// see if the first element is 1 and prepend 1 if it is not...
.run(function(){
if(this[0] != 1){
this.unshift(1) } })
console.log(L) // -> [1, 2, 6, 8]
.run(..) is also available standalone via:
$ npm install -s object-run
For more details see:
https://github.com/flynx/object-run.js
Object.sort(..)
Sort <obj> attributes (similar to Array's .sort(..))
Object.sort(<obj>)
-> <obj>
Sort <obj> attributes via <cmp> function.
Object.sort(<obj>, <cmp>)
-> <obj>
Sort <obj> attributes to the same order of <order-list>.
Object.sort(<obj>, <order-list>)
-> <obj>
Note that this rewrites all the keys of <obj> thus for very large
sets of keys/attributes this may be quite expensive.
Note that some keys of Object may misbehave in JavaScript, currently keys
that are string values of numbers are sorted automatically by number value
and are not affected by .sort(..), this affects both Chrome and Firefox.
Example:
var o = {x: 0, a: 1, '100':2, '0':3, ' 27 ':4, b:5}
// notice that the order is already different to the order of attributes above...
Object.keys(o)
// -> ['0', '100', 'x', 'a', ' 27 ', 'b']
// '0' and '100' are not affected by .sort(..) while ' 27 ' is...
Object.keys(Object.sort(o, ['x', 'a', '100']))
// -> [ '0', '100', 'x', 'a', ' 27 ', 'b' ]
This is similar to <map>.sort(..) and <ser>.sort(..).
Function
var func = require('ig-types/Function')
func.AsyncFunction
The async function constructor.
This enables us to test if an object is an instance of an async function.
var a = async function(){
// ...
}
a instanceof func.AsyncFunction // -> true
This is hidden by JavaScript by default.
Array
require('ig-types/Array')
or
var array = require('ig-types/Array')
<array>.first(..) / <array>.last(..)
Get the first/last items of <array>.
<array>.first()
-> <item>
<array>.last()
-> <item>
Set the first/last items of <array>.
<array>.first(<item>)
-> <array>
<array>.last(<item>)
-> <array>
Note that these do not affect <array> length unless setting items on
an empty <array>.
<array>.rol(..)
Roll <array> in-place left.
<array>.rol()
<array>.rol(1)
-> <array>
<array>.rol(n)
-> <array>
To roll right pass a negative n to .rol(..).
<array>.compact()
<array>.compact()
-> <compact-array>
Generate a compact <array> from a sparse <array>, i.e. removing all
the empty slots.
<array>.len
Number of non-empty slots/elements in <array>.
This is similar to:
var L = [,,, 1,, 2, 3,,]
// this is the same as L.len...
L.compact().length
Note that this is different from .length in that writing to .len has
no effect.
<array>.unique() / <array>.tailUnique()
Generate an array with all duplicate elements removed.
<array>.unique()
-> <array>
<array>.tailUnique()
-> <array>
The difference between the two versions is in that .unique(..) keeps the
first occurrence of a value while .tailUnique(..) keeps the last.
<array>.trim() / <array>.trimStart() / <array>.trimEnd()
Copy array removing empty slots from array start, end or both.
<array>.trim()
-> <array>
<array>.trimStart()
-> <array>
<array>.trimEnd()
-> <array>
This is similar to String's equivalent methods but removing empty slots
instead of spaces.
<array>.cmp(..)
Compare two arrays.
<array>.cmp(<other>)
-> <bool>
This will return true if:
<array> === <other>
or
- lengths are the same and,
- values on the same positions are equal.
<array>.setCmp(..)
Compare to arrays ignoring element order and count.
<array>.setCmp(<other>)
-> <bool>
<array>.sortAs(..)
Sort array as a different array.
<array>.sortAs(<other>)
-> <array>
Elements not present in <other> retain their relative order and are
placed after the sorted elements.
Example:
var L = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
var O = [5, 3, 1, 0]
L.sortAs(O) // -> [5, 3, 1, 2, 4, 6]
<array>.inplaceSortAs(..)
Sort array as a different array keeping positions of unsorted elements.
<array>.inplaceSortAs(<other>)
-> <array>
Example:
var L = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
var O = [5, 3, 1, 0]
L.inplaceSortAs(O) // -> [5, 2, 3, 4, 1, 6]
<array>.toKeys(..)
Create an object with array values as keys and index as value.
<array>.toKeys()
-> <object>
Normalize resulting <object> keys:
<array>.toKeys(<normalize>)
-> <object>
<normalize>(<elem>, <index>)
-> <key>
If <array> contains the same value multiple times it will be written
to <object> only once with the last occurrences' index.
Since object keys can only be strings array items that are not
strings will be converted to strings. If this is not desired use .toMap(..)
instead.
<array>.toMap(..)
Create a map with array values as keys and index as value.
<array>.toMap()
-> <map>
Normalize resulting <map> keys:
<array>.toMap(<normalize>)
-> <map>
<normalize>(<elem>, <index>)
-> <key>
Note that if <array> contains the same value multiple times it will be used
as key only once and retain the last occurrences' index.
Array.zip(..) / <array>.zip(..)
Zip input array items.
Array.zip(<array>, <array>, ..)
-> <array>
<array>.zip(<array>, <array>, ..)
-> <array>
Example:
var A = [1, 2, 3]
var B = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd']
Array.zip(A, B) // -> [[1, 'a'], [2, 'b'], [3, 'c'], [, 'd']]
Array sparseness is retained -- if one of the arrays has an empty slot, or is not long enough, the corresponding spot in the result will be empty.
Resulting array length is strictly equal to the longest input array length.
Array.iter(..) / <array>.iter()
Return an iterator/generator from the current array.
This is mostly useful in combination with the Generator extensions and utilities
Abortable Array iteration
A an alternative to Array's .map(..) / .filter(..) / .. methods with ability to
stop the iteration process by throwing STOP or STOP(<value>).
var {STOP} = require('ig-types/Array')
This can be used in two ways:
-
throwas-is to simply stop...;[1,2,3,4,5] .smap(function(e){ // simply abort here and now... throw STOP })Since we aborted the iteration without passing any arguments to
STOP,.smap(..)will returnundefined. -
throwan instance and return the argument...// this will print "4" -- the value passed to STOP... console.log([1,2,3,4,5] .smap(function(e){ if(e > 3){ // NOTE: new is optional here... // ...StopIteratiom is an object.js constructor. throw new STOP(e) } }))
Note that no partial result is returned unless passed through STOP(..).
array.STOP / array.STOP(..)
An object/constructor that if raised (as an exception) while iterating via a supporting iterator method will abort further execution and correctly exit.
<array>.smap(..) / <array>.sfilter(..) / <array>.sreduce(..) / <array>.sforEach(..)
Like Array's .map(..), .filter(..), .reduce(..) and .forEach(..) but
with added support for aborting iteration by throwing STOP or STOP(<value>).
Large Array iteration (chunked)
Iterating over very large Array instances in JavaScript can block execution,
to avoid this types.js implements .map(..)/.filter(..)/.reduce(..)
equivalent methods that iterate the array in chunks and do it asynchronously
giving the runtime a chance to run in between.
In the simplest cases these are almost a drop-in replacements for the equivalent methods but return a promise.
var a = [1,2,3,4,5]
.map(function(e){
return e*2 })
var b
;[1,2,3,4,5]
.mapChunks(function(e){
return e*2 })
.then(function(res){
b = res })
// or with await...
var c = await [1,2,3,4,5]
.mapChunks(function(e){
return e*2 })
These support setting the chunk size (default: 50) as the first argument:
var c = await [1,2,3,4,5]
.mapChunks(2, function(e){
return e*2 })
array.STOP / array.STOP(..)
Like for <array>.smap(..) and friends iteration
can be stopped by throwing a array.STOP / array.STOP(<value>) and as before
there are two ways to go:
-
throwas-is to simply stop;[1,2,3,4,5] .mapChunks(function(e){ // simply abort here and now... throw STOP }) .catch(function(){ console.log('done.') }) -
Throwan instance and pass a value to.catch(..);[1,2,3,4,5] .mapChunks(function(e){ if(e > 3){ // NOTE: new is optional here... // ...StopIteratiom is an object.js constructor. throw new STOP(e) } }) .catch(function(e){ console.log('first value greater than 3:', e) })
<array>.CHUNK_SIZE
The default iteration chunk size.
Note that the smaller this is the more responsive the code is, especially in UI applications but there is a small overhead added per chunk.
Default value: 50
<array>.mapChunks(..) / <array>.filterChunks(..) / <array>.reduceChunks(..)
The .map(..), .filter(..) and .reduce(..) alternatives respectively:
<array>.mapChunks(<func>)
<array>.mapChunks(<chunk-size>, <func>)
-> <promise>
<func>(<item>, <index>, <array>)
-> <new-item>
<array>.filterChunks(<func>)
<array>.filterChunks(<chunk-size>, <func>)
-> <promise>
<func>(<item>, <index>, <array>)
-> <bool>
<array>.reduceChunks(<func>, <state>)
<array>.mreduceChunks(<chunk-size>, <func>, <state>)
-> <promise>
<func>(<state>, <item>, <index>, <array>)
-> <state>
All three support chunk handlers in the same way (illustrated on .mapChunks(..)):
<array>.mapChunks([<func>, <chunk-handler>])
<array>.mapChunks(<chunk-size>, [<func>, <chunk-handler>])
-> <promise>
<func>(<item>, <index>, <array>)
-> <new-item>
<chunk-handler>(<chunk>, <result>, <offset>)
The <chunk-handler> gets the completed chunk of data after it is computed
but before the timeout.
Map
require('ig-types/Map')
<map>.replaceKey(..)
Replace key in map retaining item order
<map>.replaceKey(<old>, <new>)
<map>.replaceKey(<old>, <new>, true)
-> <map>
Replace the key without sorting
<map>.replaceKey(<old>, <new>, false)
-> <map>
Note that when sorting large maps this can get expensive.
<map>.sort(..)
Sort <map> keys in-place
<map>.sort()
-> <map>
<map>.sort(<cmp>)
-> <map>
In the general case this is similar to
<array>.sort(..)
with the addition of the <array>.sortAs(..)'s ability to sort
as a list
<map>.sort(<sorted-keys>)
-> <map>
This is similar to <set>.sort(..) and Object.sort(..),
see the later for more info.
Set
require('ig-types/Set')
<set>.unite(..)
Unite two sets and return the resulting set
<set>.unite(<other>)
-> <union-set>
This is a shorthand for new Set([...<set>, ...<other>])
<set>.intersect(..)
Intersect two sets and return the intersection set
<set>.untersect(<other>)
-> <intersection-set>
<set>.subtract(..)
Subtract <other> from set and return resulting set
<set>.subtract(<other>)
-> <sub-set>
<set>.splice(..)
In-place splice a set
<set>.splice(<from>)
<set>.splice(<from>, <count>)
<set>.splice(<from>, <count>, ...<items>)
-> <removed>
This is the same as
<array>.splice(..)
but without the ability to add more than one instance of an item.
<set>.replace(..)
Replace value in set with other value retaining item order (in-place)
<set>.replace(<old>, <new>)
<set>.replace(<old>, <new>, true)
-> <set>
Replace the value without sorting
<set>.replace(<old>, <new>, false)
-> <set>
Note that when sorting large sets this can get expensive.
<set>.replaceAt(..)
Replace item at position in set retaining order (in-place)
<set>.replaceAt(<index>, <new>)
<set>.replaceAt(<index>, <new>, true)
-> <set>
If <index> is less than 0 the <new> item will be prepended to <set>,
if the <index> is greater than or equal to <set>.size then <new> is
appended.
Replace the value at index without sorting
<set>.replaceAt(<index>, <new>, false)
-> <set>
Here, if <index> is less than 0 or greater than or equal to <set>.size
<new> will always be appended to <set>.
Note that when sorting large sets this can get expensive.
<set>.sort(..)
Sort <set> (in-place)
<set>.sort()
-> <set>
<set>.sort(<cmp>)
-> <set>
In the general case this is similar to
<array>.sort(..)
with the addition of the <array>.sortAs(..)'s ability to sort
as a list
<set>.sort(<sorted-values>)
-> <set>
This is similar to <map>.sort(..) and Object.sort(..),
see the later for more info.
Date
require('ig-types/Date')
Date.timeStamp(..)
Generate a timestamp (format: 'YYYYMMDDHHMMSS')
Date.timeStamp()
-> <timestamp>
Generate a full timestamp, including milliseconds (format: 'YYYYMMDDHHMMSSmmm')
Date.timeStamp(true)
-> <timestamp>
This is a shorthand to: (new Date()).getTimeStamp(..)
The timestamp is generated from the time of call, for generating timestamps form specific <date> objects see:
<date>.getTimeStamp(..)
Date.fromTimeStamp(..)
Create a <date> from a timestamp
Date.fromTimeStamp(<timestamp>)
-> <date>
This is a shorthand to: (new Date()).setTimeStamp(<timestamp>)
Date.str2ms(..)
Convert a string describing a time period into milliseconds.
Date.str2ms(<str>)
-> <number>
Examples:
// time units (d/h/m/s/ms) and their variants...
var a = Date.str2ms('3 seconds') // -> 3000
var b = Date.str2ms('0.1h') // -> 360000
// time period (DD:HH:MM:SS:mmm)...
var c = Date.str2ms('00:20:001') // -> 20001
var d = Date.str2ms('1:3') // -> 63000
Note that time periods are seconds-based by default unless it contains three digits then it defaults to milliseconds:
// least significant unit is seconds by default...
var e = Date.str2ms(':3') // -> 3000
// when the least significant unit contains 3 digits it is read as ms...
var f = Date.str2ms(':030') // -> 30
Supported formats:
<str> ::=
<milliseconds>
| <seconds>
| <minutes>
| <hours>
| <days>
| <period>
<milliseconds> ::=
<number>
| <number>ms
| <number>m[illi][-]s[ec[ond[s]]]
<seconds> ::=
<number>s
| <number>s[ec[ond[s]]]
<seconds> ::=
<number>m
| <number>m[in[ute[s]]]
<seconds> ::=
<number>h
| <number>h[our[s]]
<seconds> ::=
<number>d
| <number>d[ay[s]]
<period> ::=
[[[DD:]HH:]MM]:SS[:mmm]

(format: 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS')
<date>.toShortDate()
-> <short-date>
Generate a short date string including milliseconds from <date>
(format: 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS:mmm')
<date>.toShortDate(true)
-> <short-date>
Note that <short-date> is directly parseable by new Date(..)
var a = (new Date()).toShortDate(true)
// parse the <short-date> and generate a new short date from it...
var b = (new Date(a)).toShortDate(true)
a == b // -> true
<date>.getTimeStamp(..)
Generate a timestamp from <date>
(format 'YYYYMMDDHHMMSS')
<date>.getTimeStamp()
-> <timestamp>
Generate a timestamp from <date> including milliseconds
(format 'YYYYMMDDHHMMSSmmm')
<date>.getTimeStamp(true)
-> <timestamp>
<date>.setTimeStamp(..)
Update a <date> from a timestamp
<date>.setTimeStamp(<timestamp>)
-> <date>
String
require('ig-types/String')
<string>.capitalize()
Capitalize the first character of a string
<string>.capitalize()
-> <string>
<string>.indent(..)
Indent each line in <string> by <size> spaces
<string>.indent(<size>)
-> <string>
Indent/prepend each line in <string> by the <prefix> string
<string>.indent(<prefix>)
-> <string>
RegExp
require('ig-types/RegExp')
RegExp.quoteRegExp(..)
Quote regexp reserved characters in a string
RegExp.quoteRegExp(<str>)
-> <str>
This is mainly used to quote strings to be matched as-is within a regular expression.
Promise
require('ig-types/Promise')
or
var promise = require('ig-types/Promise')
Interactive promises
Interactive promises can be sent messages and then handle them.
var printer = Promise.interactive(function(resolve, reject, onmessage){
var buf = []
var state = 'pending'
onmessage(function(type, ...args){
type == 'flush' ?
(buf = buf
.filter(function([type, state, ...args]){
console[type](`(${ state }):`, ...args) }))
: type == 'close' ?
(resolve(...args),
state = 'resolved')
: buf.push([type, state, ...args]) }) })
printer
.send('log', 'some message...')
.send('warn', 'some warning...')
.send('flush')
.send('close')
Note that message handling is independent of promise state, so in the above case we can still populate the buffer and flush it even if the promise is resolved
printer
.send('log', 'some other message...')
.send('flush')
If the user wants to handle messages differently (ignore for example) after the
promise is finalized it is their responsibility
(see: <onmessage>(..) for more info)
Promise.interactive(..)
Create and interactive promise
Promise.interactive(<handler>)
-> <promise-inter>
The <handler> accepts one additional argument, compared to the Promise(..)
handler, <onmessage>, used to register message handlers.
<handler>(<resolve>, <reject>, <onmessage>)
<onmessage>(<message-handler>)
Remove <message-handler>
<onmessage>(<message-handler>, false)
Remove all handlers
<onmessage>(false)
<message-handler> is called when a message is sent via
<promise-inter>.send().
<promise-inter>.send(..)
Send a message to an interactive promise
<promise-inter>.send()
<promise-inter>.send(...)
-> <promise-inter>
Sending a message triggers message handlers registered via <onmessage>(..)
passing each handler the arguments.
<promise-inter>.then(..)
Extended .then(..) implementation.
See <promise-iter>.then(..) for details.
Cooperative promises
A cooperative promise is one that can be finalized externally/cooperatively.
This can be useful for breaking recursive dependencies between promises or when it is simpler to thread the result receiver promise down the stack than building a promise stack and manually threading the result up.
Example:
// NOTE: implementing this via Promise.any(..) would also require implementing a
// way to stop the "workers" after the result is found...
async function controller(trigger){
while(!trigger.isSet)
// do things...
trigger.isSet
|| trigger.set(result) } }
async function controlled(trigger){
// do things independently of trigger...
trigger
.then(function(){
// do things after trigger...
}) }
var t = Promise.cooperative()
// multiple cooperative controllers competing to create a result...
controller(t)
controller(t)
controller(t)
// ...
// prepare and process result...
// NOTE: calling .then() here is completely optional and done out of role
// hygene -- isolating cooperative API from the client...
controlled(t.then())
// ...
Note that this functionally can be considered a special-case of an interactive promise, but in reality they are two different implementations, the main differences are:
- Cooperative promise constructor does not need a resolver function,
- Cooperative promises do not the implement
.send(..)API.
Note that implementing Cooperative promises on top of Interactive promises
cleanly, though feeling more "beautiful", would be more complex than the
current standalone implementation, as it would require both implementing
the .set(..) API/logic and active encapsulation of the message API.
Promise.cooperative()
Create a cooperative promise
Promise.cooperative()
-> <promise-coop>
<promise-coop>.set(..)
Resolve <promise-coop> with <value>
<promise-coop>.set(<value>)
<promise-coop>.set(<value>, true)
-> <promise-coop>
If <value> is a promise, then <promise-coop> will be bound to its state, i.e.
resolved if <value> is resolved and rejected if it is rejected with the same
values.
Reject <promise-coop> with <value>
<promise-coop>.set(<value>, false)
-> <promise-coop>
Calling .set(..) will set .isSet to true.
<promise-coop>.isSet
Property representing if the cooperative promise was set / .set(..) was
called (value is true) or no (false).
This property is read-only.
<promise-coop>.then(..)
Extended .then(..) implementation.
See <promise-iter>.then(..) for details.
Promise iteration
An iterable promise is on one hand very similar to Promise.all(..) in that it
generally takes a list of values each could be either an explicit value or a
promise, and it is similar to a generator in that it allows iteration over the
contained values and chaining of operations but unlike Promise.all(..) this
iteration occurs depth-first instead of breadth first.
One can think of promise iterators vs. generators as the former being internally controlled and asynchronous while the later being externally controlled and synchronous.
Here is a traditional example using Promise.all(..):
var p = Promise.all([ .. ])
// this will not execute until ALL the inputs resolve...
.then(function(lst){
return lst
.filter(function(e){
// ...
})
// this will not run until ALL of lst is filtered...
.map(function(e){
// ...
}) })
And a promise iterator:
var p = Promise.iter([ .. ])
// each element is processed as soon as it is ready disregarding of its order
// in the input array...
.filter(function(e){
// ...
})
// items reach here as soon as they are returned by the filter stage handler...
.map(function(e){
// ...
})
// .then(..) explicitly waits for the whole list of inputs to resolve...
.then(function(lst){
// ...
})
This approach has a number of advantages:
- items are processed as soon as they are available without waiting for the slowest promise on each level to resolve
- simpler and more intuitive code
And some disadvantages:
- item indexes are unknowable until all the promises resolve.
Calling each of the <promise-iter> methods will return a new and unresolved
promise, even if the original is resolved.
If all values are resolved the <promise-iter> will resolve on the next
execution frame.
There are two types of iterator methods here, both are transparent but different in how they process values:
- Parallel methods
These handle elements as soon as they are available even if the parent promise is not yet resolved. - Proxies These methods simply wait for the main promise to resolve and then call the appropriate method on the result.
Promise.iter(..) / promise.IterablePromise(..)
Create an iterable promise
Promise.iter(<array>)
Promise.iter(<promise>)
-> <promise-iter>
<promise>.iter()
Wrap a promise in an promise iterator.
<promise>.iter()
-> <promise-iter>
If <promise> resolves to a non-array value it will be treated as a single
element, otherwise the array will be iterated over.
<promise-iter>.iter()
Return a shallow copy of the current promise iterator.
<promise-iter>.iter()
-> <promise-iter>
<promise-iter>.map(..) / <promise-iter>.filter(..) / <promise-iter>.reduce(..)
Methods similar but not fully equivalent to Array's
.map(..),
.filter(..),
and .reduce(..)
<promise-iter>.map(<handler>)
-> <promise-iter>
<handler>(<elem>)
-> <elem>
<promise-iter>.filter(<handler>)
-> <promise-iter>
<handler>(<elem>)
-> <bool>
<promise-iter>.reduce(<handler>, <state>)
-> <promise>
<handler>(<state>, <elem>)
-> <state>
Note that these are different to Array's equivalents in some details:
<handler>is not called in the order of element occurrence but rather in the order of elements are resolved/ready.<handler>does not get either the element index or the container.
this is because in out-of-order and depth-first execution the index is unknowable and the container is a promise/black-box.
This is especially critical for .reduce(..) as the iteration in an order
different from the order of elements can affect actual result if this is
not expected.
.reduce(..) is also a bit different here in that it will return a basic
<promise> rather than an iterable promise object as we can't know what
will it will reduce to.
Note that since .reduce(..) handler's execution order can not be known,
there is no point in implementing .reduceRigth(..).
<promise-iter>.flat(..)
<promise-iter>.flat()
<promise-iter>.flat(<depth>)
-> <promise-iter>
This is similar to <array>.flat(..) see it for more info.
<promise-iter>.reverse()
<promise-iter>.reverse()
-> <promise-iter>
This is deferent from <array>.reverse() in that it will not reverse in-place,
but rather a reversed copy will be created.
This is similar to <array>.reverse() see it for more info.
<promise-iter>.concat(..)
<promise-iter>.concat(<other>)
-> <promise-iter>
This is similar to <array>.concat(..) see it for more info.
<promise-iter>.push(..) / <promise-iter>.unshift(..)
<promise-iter>.push(<elem>)
-> <promise-iter>
<promise-iter>.unshift(<elem>)
-> <promise-iter>
These are similar to <array>.push(..)
and <array>.unshift(..)
see them for more info.
<promise-iter>.at(..) / <promise-iter>.first() / <promise-iter>.last()
Proxies to the appropriate array methods with a special-case: when getting elements
at positions 0 or -1 (i.e. .first() / .last()) these can resolve before the
parent <promise-iter>.
XXX
<promise-iter>.some(..) / <promise-iter>.find(..)
<promise-iter>.some(<func>)
-> <promise>
<promise-iter>.find(<func>)
-> <promise>
The main difference between .some(..) and .find(..) is in that the <promise>
returned from the former will resolve to either true or false, and in the later
to the found value or undefined.
.find(..) supports an additional argument that controls what returned <promise>
is resolved to...
<promise-iter>.find(<func>)
<promise-iter>.find(<func>, 'value')
-> <promise>
<promise-iter>.find(<func>, 'bool')
-> <promise>
<promise-iter>.find(<func>, 'result')
-> <promise>
value(default)
resolve to the stored value if found andundefinedotherwise.bool
resolve totrueif the value is found andfalseotherwise, this is how.some(..)is impelemnted.result
resolve to the return value of the test<func>.
These are similar to <array>.some(..)
and <array>.find(..)
see them for more info.
Array proxy methods returning <promise-iter>
<promise-iter>.sort(..)<promise-iter>.slice(..)<promise-iter>.entries()/<promise-iter>.keys()/<promise-iter>.values()
These methods are proxies to the appropriate array methods.
<promise-iter>.<method>(..)
-> <promise-iter>
These methods need the parent <promise-iter> to resolve before resolving themselves.
XXX links...
Array proxy methods returning a <promise>
<promise-iter>.indexOf(..)<promise-iter>.includes(..)<promise-iter>.every(..)<promise-iter>.findIndex(..)
These methods are proxies to the appropriate array methods.
<promise-iter>.<method>(..)
-> <promise>
These methods need the parent <promise-iter> to resolve before resolving themselves.
Since the equivalent array methods do not return iterables these will return a basic
(non-iterable) <promise>.
XXX links...
<promise-iter>.then(..) / <promise-iter>.catch(..) / <promise-iter>.finally(..)
An extension to
<promise>.then(..) API
this adds the ability to pass no arguments
<promise-iter>.then()
-> <promise>
This will return a generic promise wrapper passing through the results as-is. This can be useful to hide the extended promise API from further code.
promise.IterablePromise.STOP / promise.IterablePromise.STOP(..)
A special object that when thrown from a function/promise handler will stop further iteration.
This is undefined until the ig-types/Array module is loaded.
For more info see: Stopping the iteration below, and the 'Array' STOP section
Advanced handler
Promise.iter(<block>, <handler>)
-> <iterable-promise>
The <handler> will get passed each resolved <value> of the input <block>
as soon as it's available/resolved.
The <handler> return value is unwrapped into the resulting array, allowing
each call to both remove elements (i.e. returning []) from the resulting
<block> as well as insert multiple items (by returning an array of items).
<handler>(<value>)
-> []
-> [ <elem>, .. ]
-> <non-array>
<block> ::=
[]
| [ <elem>, .. ]
<elem> ::=
<value>
| <promise>(<value>)
Example:
var p = Promise.iter(
[1, 2, 3, Promise.resolve(4), [5, 6]],
function(elem){
// duplicate even numbers...
return elem % 2 == 0 ?
[elem, elem]
// return arrays as-is...
: elem instanceof Array ?
[elem]
// remove other elements...
: [] })
.then(function(lst){
console.log(lst) }) // -> [2, 2, 4, 4, [5, 6]]
Stopping the iteration
Like the Array module, this support throwing STOP to
stop iteration. As we uses .smap(..)
stopping support is supported if ig-types/Array module is loaded.
require('ig-types/Array')
This is also different semantically, as promise iteration can happen out of order,
stopping affects the order of processing and not order of the input array with one exception: promises already created can not be stopped in JavaScript.
Any handler function passed to a <promise-iter> method can throw a STOP.
For more details see: the 'Array' STOP section
Promise proxies
Promise proxies generate a set of prototype methods returning promises that when the parent promise is resolved will resolve to a specific method call.
Example:
var o = {
method: function(...args){
console.log('method:', ...args)
},
}
var p = Peomise.cooperative().as(o)
p.method(1, 2, 3) // returns a promise...
// ...
// resolving a promise will trigger all the proxy emthod execution, so
// here 'method: 1, 2, 3' will get printed...
p.set(o)
<promise>.as(..)
Create a promise proxy
<promise>.as(<object>)
<promise>.as(<constructor>)
-> <promise-proxy>
A proxy promise will be populated with proxy methods to all the methods of the <object> or <constructor>.prototype.
<promise-proxy>.<method>(..)
When <promise> resolves, call the .<method>(..) on the resolved value.
<promise-proxy>.<method>(..)
-> <method-promise>
<method-promise> will resolve the the return value of the <method> when
the main <promise> is resolved.
Generator extensions and utilities
var generator = require('ig-types/generator')
The basics
The generator hierarchy in JavaScript is a bit complicated.
Consider the following:
// generator constructor function...
var Iter = function*(L){
for(var e of L){
yield e }}
// generator instance...
var iter = Iter([1, 2, 3])
We can test that iter is an instance of Iter:
iter instanceof Iter // -> true
Note that there is no generator constructor constructor or meta-generator,
i.e. Iter is created syntactically and not constructed via a new constructor.
Due to the three level structure of generators we use a slightly different terminology to reference different levels of API's:
Generator- the generator meta-constructor.
This is a constructor that is used to create/prototype<Generator>'s, i.e. generator constructors.
Generatoris mainly used forinstanceofchecks, but can be used as a prototype for extending generators.<Generator>- the generator constructor.
This is the product of either aGeneratormeta-constructor or afunction*(..){ .. }statement.
In the above exampleIteris a generator constructor.<generator>- the generator instance.
Generator instances are created by calling a<Generator>/ generator constructor.
In the above exampleiteris a generator instance.
Iterators and generators are similar but not the same. Some objects like Array's,
Map's and Set's provide a number of generic iterators that are not implemented
as generators. These objects are also extended by ig-types/generator to match the
<generator> object API defined below.
generator.Generator
Exposes the hidden JavaScript generator meta-constructor.
This is similar to the JavaScript's
Function constructor
var g = generator.Generator(`
yield 123
yield 321 `)
// prints 123 then 321...
for(var e of g()){
console.log(e.value) }
This can be used to test if a function is a generator constructor
Iter instanceof generator.Generator // -> true
Note that currently in JavaScript there is no built-in way to test if a
constructor/function, Iter in this case, is a generator constructor.
generator.iter(..)
Generic generator wrapper
generator.iter()
-> <generator>
generator.iter(<iterable>)
-> <generator>
Example:
for(var i of generator.iter([1, 2, 3])){
console.log(i) }
The following are equivalent:
var a = generator.iter()
var b = new generator.Generator()
But Generator() takes no arguments and thus can not be used as a wrapper
while .iter(..) is designed to accept an iterable value like an array object.
generator.STOP
Generator instance iteration
This is a set of Array-like iterator methods that enable chaining of
generators and Promise-like API to handle the generated results.
Chained generators handle items depth-first, i.e. the items are passed as they are yielded down the generator chain.
<generator>.iter(..)
Iterate over the generator.
<generator>.iter()
-> <generator>
XXX move this to generator.iter(..)
Compatible with <array>'s .iter().
.iter(..) also supports a handler function
<generator>.iter(<handler>)
-> <generator>
<handler>(<elem>, <index>)
-> <elem>
-> [<elem>, ..]
-> []
Note that the iterables returned by <handler>(..) will be expanded, to prevent
this wrap them in an array.
<generator>.map(..) / <generator>.filter(..)
Equivalents to Array's .map(..), .filter(..) and .reduce(..) but return
generators that yield the handler return values.
.map(..) here also supports a generator as a handler
var expand = function*(n){
yield* (new Array(n)).fill(n) }
// will create: [1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3]
var L = [1,2,3]
.iter()
.map(expand)
.toArray()
Throwing STOP form within the handler will stop generation, throwing
STOP(<value>) will yield the <value> then stop.
var stopAt = function(n){
return function(e){
if(e == n){
// stop iteration yielding the value we are stopping at...
throw generator.STOP(e) }
return e } }
var L = [1,2,3,4,5]
.iter()
.map(stopAt(3))
.toArray()
<generator>.reduce(..) / <generator>.greduce(..)
<generator>.slice(..)
<generator>.slice()
<generator>.slice(<from>)
<generator>.slice(<from>, <to>)
-> <generator>
Note that this does not support negative indexes as it not possible to know the generator length until it is fully done.
Otherwise this is similar to Array's .slice(..) but will return a generator
instead of an array, for more info see:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/slice
<generator>.at(..) / <generator>.gat(..)
<generator>.at(<index>)
-> <value>
-> undefined
<generator>.gat(<index>)
-> <generator>
<generator>.flat(..)
<generator>.flat()
<generator>.flat(<depth>)
-> <generator>
Equivalent to Array's .flat(..) but will return a generator instead of an
array, for more info see:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/flat
<generator>.shift() / <generator>.pop() / <generator>.gshift() / <generator>.gpop()
Return the first/last item in generator.
<generator>.shift()
<generator>.pop()
-> <value>
-> undefined
Return a <generator> that will yield the first/last item in the generator.
<generator>.gshift()
<generator>.gpop()
-> <generator>
Note that there are no equivalents to .push(..) and .unshift(..) as they
would require breaking item processing order.
Note that .shift()/.gshift() will yield the item the generator is at at
time of call, this may not be the first item if the generator is partially
depleted.
<generator>.unshift(..) / <generator>.push(..)
Add a value to the generator sequence at start/end.
<generator>.unshift(<value>)
<generator>.push(<value>)
-> <generator>
Value added by .unshift(..) will be yielded by <generator> "first", i.e. on
next call to .next(), regardless of the current generator state.
<generator>.then(..) / <generator>.catch(..) / <generator>.finally(..)
Return a promise and resolve it with the generator value.
<generator>.then()
-> <promise>
Adding handlers to the promise
<generator>.then(<resolve>, <reject>)
-> <promise>
<generator>.then(<resolve>)
-> <promise>
<generator>.finally(<handler>)
-> <promise>
Note that this will deplete the generator.
These are the same as equivalent Promise methods, for more info see:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Promise
<generator>.toArray()
Unwind a generator into an array
<generator>.toArray()
-> <array>
This is equivalent to [...<generator>] but more suited for the concatenative style.
Treating iterators the same as generators
Most iterator methods of Array, Set and Map are extended with the same
API supported by the <generator>, so
effectively most built-in iterator methods can be transparently treated as
generators.
// this will generate: [1, 4, 9]
var L = [ ...[1, 2, 3]
// Note that this is implemented as an iterator in JS and not a generator...
.values()
.map(function(e){
return e * e }) ]
Generator constructor iteration
This API is essentially the same as generator iteration with some minor omissions, but will return a reusable generator pipeline instead of a generator.
var sumOdds = generator.iter
.filter(function(e){
return e % 2 == 1 })
.reduce(function(r, e){
return r + e }, 0)
.pop()
// sumOdds(..) is essentially a function that can be reused...
console.log(sumOdds([1, 2, 3])) // -> 4
console.log(sumOdds([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7])) // -> 16
The above code is the same in function to:
var sumOdds = function(lst){
return generator.iter(lst)
.filter(function(e){
return e % 2 == 1 })
.reduce(function(r, e){
return r + e }, 0)
.pop() }
console.log(sumOdds([1, 2, 3])) // -> 4
console.log(sumOdds([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7])) // -> 16
<Generator> methods fall into two categories:
<constructor>
create a new chained<Generator>object that when called will return a<generator><finalizer>
create a chained function that when called will return a<value>/undefined
<Generator>.<constructor>(..)
-> <Generator>
<Generator>.<finalizer>(..)
-> <func>
<Generator>(<iterable>)
-> <generator>
<func>(<iterable>)
-> <value>
-> undefined
<Generator>.iter(..)
This is a shorthand to iter(..).
This is here mainly for compatibility with
Array's .iter(..).
<Generator>.at(..) / <Generator>.gat(..)
<Generator>.at(<index>)
-> <func>
<Generator>.gat(<index>)
-> <Generator>
Equivalents to <generator>'s .at(..)/.gat(..)
but returning a reusable <func>/<Generator>.
<Generator>.shift() / <Generator>.pop() / <Generator>.gshift() / <Generator>.gpop()
<Generator>.shift()
<Generator>.pop()
-> <func>
<Generator>.gshift()
<Generator>.gpop()
-> <Generator>
Note that .shift()/.gshift() will get the element the generator is at
currently which may not be the first element in the sequence.
Equivalents to <generator>'s .shift(..)/.pop(..)/..
but returning a reusable <func>/<Generator>.
<generator>.unshift(..) / <generator>.push(..)
<Generator>.unshift(<value>)
<Generator>.push(<value>)
-> <Generator>
Equivalents to <generator>'s .unshift(..)/.push(..)
but returning a reusable <Generator>.
<Generator>.slice(..)
<Generator>.slice(<from>)
<Generator>.slice(<from>, <to>)
-> <Generator>
Unlike Array's .slice(..) this does not support negative indexes.
Equivalent to <generator>'s .slice(..)
but returning a reusable <Generator>.
<Generator>.map(..) / <Generator>.filter(..) / <Generator>.reduce(..) / <Generator>.flat()
Counterparts to <generator>'s
.map(..), .filter(..), .reduce(..)/.greduce(..) and
.flat(..)
but return a <Generator>.
<Generator>.toArray()
Return a function that will return a <generator> output as an Array.
<Generator>.toArray()
-> <function>
<Generator>.then(..) / <Generator>.catch(..) / <Generator>.finally(..)
Generator combinators
<Generator>.chain(..) / <generator>.chain(..)
<Generator>.chain(<Generator>, ..)
-> <Generator>
<generator>.chain(<Generator>, ..)
-> <generator>
// double each element...
var x2 = generator.iter
.map(function(e){ return e * 2 })
generator.range(0, 100).chain(x2)
<Generator>.concat(..) / <generator>.concat(..)
Concatenate the results from generators
<Generator>.concat(<Generator>, ..)
-> <Generator>
<generator>.concat(<generator>, ..)
-> <generator>
Generator library
generator.range(..)
Create a generator yielding a range of numbers
range()
range(<to>)
range(<from>, <to>)
range(<from>, <to>, <step>)
-> <generator>
generator.repeat(..)
Create a generator repeatedly yielding <value>
repeat()
repeat(<value>)
repeat(<value>, <stop>)
-> <generator>
<stop>(<value>)
-> <bool>
If no value is given true is yielded by default.
<stop> if given will be called with each <value> before it is yielded and
if it returns false the iteration is stopped.
generator.produce(..)
Create a generator calling a function to produce yielded values
produce()
produce(<func>)
-> <generator>
<func>()
-> <value>
<func>(..) can throw STOP or STOP(<value>) to stop production at any time.
Generator helpers
generator.stoppable(..)
Wrap function/generator adding support for stopping mid-iteration by throwing STOP.
stoppable(<generator>)
-> <generator>
Async generator extensions
XXX EXPERIMENTAL
generator.AsyncGenerator
<async-generator>.then(..) / <async-generator>.catch(..) / <async-generator>.finally(..)
<async-generator>.iter(..)
<async-generator>.map(..) / <async-generator>.filter(..) / <async-generator>.reduce(..)
<async-generator>.chain(..)
<async-generator>.flat(..)
<async-generator>.concat(..)
<async-generator>.push(..) / <async-generator>.unshift(..)
Containers
var containers = require('ig-types').containers
or, to only import containers:
var containers = require('ig-types/containers')
Note that this will also import ig-types/Map.
containers.UniqueKeyMap() (Map)
UniqueKeyMap implements a key-value container (i.e. Map) that supports
and maintains duplicate keys by appending an index to them.
The original keys are stored internally thus the renaming mechanics are
stable.
UniqueKeyMap extends the Map constructor, so all the usual Map
methods and properties apply here.
To construct an instance:
var x = new UniqueKeyMap()
or:
// new is optional...
var y = UniqueKeyMap()
UniqueKeyMap supports the same initialization signature as Map but
treats repeating keys differently.
var z = UniqueKeyMap([['a', 1], ['a', 2], ['b', 1]])
The second "a" item will automatically get re-keyed as "a (1)":
console.log([...z.keys()]) // -> ['a', 'a (1)', 'b']
Note that .set(..) will never rewrite an element:
z.set('a', 3)
console.log([...z.keys()]) // -> ['a', 'a (1)', 'b', 'a (2)']
z.get('a') // -> 1
z.get('a (1)') // -> 2
To get the generated key:
var k = z.set('a', 4, true)
console.log(k) // -> 'a (3)'
To explicitly rewrite an item:
z.reset('a (1)', 4)
z.get('a (1)') // -> 4
And we can rename items, i.e. change their key:
z.rename('a (2)', 'c')
console.log([...z.keys()]) // -> ['a', 'a (1)', 'b', 'a (3)', 'c']
For more info on Map see:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Map
<unique-key-map>.set(..)
<unique-key-map>.reset(<key>, <item>)
-> <unique-key-map>
<unique-key-map>.reset(<key>, <item>, true)
-> <new-key>
Add an <item> to <unique-key-map>.
If <key> already exists then add an index to it to make it unique.
Key updating is done via <unique-key-map>.__key_pattern__.
<unique-key-map>.reset(..)
<unique-key-map>.reset(<key>, <item>)
-> <unique-key-map>
Explicitly write an <item> under <key> as-is, this is like Map's .set(..).
<unique-key-map>.rename(..)
<unique-key-map>.rename(<from-key>, <to-key>)
-> <unique-key-map>
<unique-key-map>.rename(<from-key>, <to-key>, true)
-> <new-key>
Rename item key from <from-key> to <to-key>.
Same mechanics apply as for .set(..) for key uniqueness.
Note, if .__unordered_rename__ is
false (default) this calls .orderedRename(..)
otherwise .unorderedRename(..) is called.
<unique-key-map>.orderedRename(..)
<unique-key-map>.unorderedRename(..)
<unique-key-map>.keysOf(..)
<unique-key-map>.originalKey(..)
<unique-key-map>.uniqueKey(..)
<unique-key-map>.__key_pattern__
<unique-key-map>.__unordered_rename__

that handles the queue data.
This is a shorthand for:
var handler_queue = Queue({
handler: function(item){ .. },
..
},
.. )
<queue>.state

FinalizableQueue(..) / FinalizableQueue.runTasks(..) (Queue)
This is similar to Queue(..) but adds two terminal states ("done" and
"aborted") and a promise-mapping.
FinalizableQueue.handle(<func>, ...<data>)
FinalizableQueue.handle(<options>, <func>, ...<data>)
-> <finalizable-queue>
When a <finalizable-queue> reaches a terminal state it is frozen.
<finalizable-queue>.done(..) (event/method)
<finalizable-queue>.abort(..) (event/method)
<finalizable-queue>.promise(..)
<finalizable-queue>.then(..)
<finalizable-queue>.catch(..)
