itiriri

A library built for ES6 iteration protocol.

function* numbers() {
  let n = 1;

  while (true) {
    yield n++;
  }
}

const s = itiriri(numbers()).map(n => 1 / (n * n)).take(1000).sum();
console.log(Math.sqrt(6 * s));
// 3.1406380562059946

itiriri provides similar functions as JavaScript arrays: filter, slice, map, reduce, every, some etc. and more. The functions are optimized for ES6 iterators and can be chained to perform simple but powerful manipulations over iterables.

Installation

Using npm

$ npm install 'itiriri' --save

Importing

import itiriri from 'itiriri';

Support

The itiriri library can be used with any ES6 compatible runtime.

Usage

itiriri can be used with a build-it type like array, Map, Set, a generator function or a custom iterable.

import itiriri from 'itiriri';

const values = [2, 0, 4, 8];

const s = itiriri(values).map(n => n / 2).reverse();
console.log(s.toString()); // prints: 4,2,0,1

// prints: 4 2 0 1
for (const n of s) {
  console.log(n)
}

console.log(s.sum()); // prints: 7

Deferred execution

JavaScript's array methods like filter, slice and others that return an array create a shallow copy for the result and are executed once called.

itiriri functions that return iterables are not executed unless chained with a function that reduces a value or transforms to a built-in type. The iterable source is iterated only once.

Let's see what happens in the below example.

import itiriri from 'itiriri';

function* fibonacci() {
  let [a, b] = [0, 1];

  while (true) {
    yield a;
    [a, b] = [b, a + b];
  }
}

// Finding first 3 Fibonacci numbers that contain 42
const result = itiriri(fibonacci())
  .filter(x => x.toString().indexOf('42') !== -1)
  .take(3);

for (const e of result) {
  console.log(e);
}

// outputs: 514229, 267914296, 7778742049

Step by step:

result is assigned to a itiriri. At this point numbers array is not iterated, the execution is deferred until the result is being iterated.
filter method creates an iterator to pipe only numbers passing the predicate. filter does not buffer elements and only pipes them one-by-one to take as it is iterated.
take pipes only first three elements as it is iterated and breaks.
for...of instruction starts iteration and requests elements one at a time.

Due to deferred execution, most of the functions that don't need entire sequence of elements to build an iterator (like filter, map, concat etc.) can be used with infinite iterables (like Fibonacci in the above example). These functions are also optimized to pass elements through and do not buffer them resulting in a more optimized memory usage.

Functions like sort, reverse, shuffle etc. that require entire sequence of elements in order to build an iterator expect to receive a finite iterable.

Benchmarks

Using itiriri is considerable faster than using array methods when processing large inputs.

In filter-map-slice example arrays of different size are used to filter and map a result of 100 elements:

Array size (N)	`array`	`itiriri`
1000	111,611 ops/sec ±9.63% (86 runs)	44,213 ops/sec ±1.92% (88 runs)
5000	18,507 ops/sec ±0.67% (90 runs)	42,103 ops/sec ±2.63% (84 runs)
10000	8,655 ops/sec ±0.70% (91 runs)	42,803 ops/sec ±2.20% (86 runs)
50000	1,640 ops/sec ±0.79% (88 runs)	43,446 ops/sec ±2.17% (88 runs)
100000	848 ops/sec ±0.93% (87 runs)	43,137 ops/sec ±2.15% (87 runs)
200000	46.38 ops/sec ±0.74% (59 runs)	42,445 ops/sec ±2.48% (90 runs)

Using array methods performance drops significantly for large inputs due to creation of intermediary states for filter and map.
Using itiriri iteration always stops after 100 elements are found, therefore the size of the input doesn't affect the performance.

More benchmarks can be found in /benchmark.

Running Tests

$ npm install
$ npm test

Bundling

If you want to use itiriri in the browser, there is a gulp task that creates a minified file:

$ npm install
$ gulp bundle
// creates itiriri.min.js file in the root folder

Once you include the itiriri.min.js file on your page, you can use it as:

<script src="itiriri.min.js"></script>
<!-- ... -->
<script>
    // source can be an array or an Iterable
    const source = [1, 2, 3];
    console.log(itiriri(source).sum());
</script>

prepend(other: Iterable<T>): IterableQuery<T>;
prepend(other: T): IterableQuery<T>;
Parameters

other - (required) the sequence or element to be added at the beginning

Example
import itiriri from 'itiriri';

itiriri([1, 2, 3]).prepend([9, 10]).toArray(); // returns [1, 2, 3, 9, 10]
prepend is a deferred method and is executed only when the result sequence is iterated.

reduce

Applies a function against an accumulator and each element (from left to right) to reduce it to a single value.

Syntax
reduce(
    callback: (accumulator: T, current: T, index: number) => T,
  ): T;

reduce<S>(
    callback: (accumulator: S, current: T, index: number) => S,
    initialValue: S,
  ): S;
Parameters

callback - (required) function to execute on each element in the sequence, taking three arguments

accumulator the accumulator accumulates the callback's return values;

current the current element being processed;

currentIndex the index of the current element being processed;

initialValue - (optional) value to use as the first argument to the first call of the callback

Calling reduce on an empty sequence without an initial value throws an error.

reduceRight(
    callback: (accumulator: T, current: T, index: number) => T,
  ): T;

reduceRight<S>(
    callback: (accumulator: S, current: T, index: number) => S,
    initialValue: S,
  ): S;
Parameters

callback - (required) function to execute on each element in the sequence, taking three arguments

accumulator the accumulator accumulates the callback's return values;

current the current element being processed;

    leftKeySelector: (element: T, index: number) => TKey,
    joinSelector: (right: TRight, left?: T) => TResult,
  ): IterableQuery<TResult>;
Parameters

other - (required) sequence to join

rightKeySelector - (required) function that provides the key of each element from joined sequence, accepts two arguments:

returns element's key

joinSelector - (required) a transformation function to apply on each matched tuple, accepts two arguments:

right - element from the joined sequence

left - element from the source sequence, or undefined if no match found

returns new result

The rightJoin method works as an sql right join. When an element from the right sequence doesn't match with any of the elements from the left sequence, the rightJoin function is called with an undefined left value.

Example
import itiriri from 'itiriri';

itiriri([1, 2, 3])
  .rightJoin([2, 3, 4, 2], n => n, n => n, (a, b) => `${a || '#'}-${b}`)
  .toArray();
// returns ['2-2', '3-3', '#-4', '2-2']

itiriri([{book: 'History', owner: 3}, {book: 'Math', owner: 2}]])
  .rightJoin(
    [{id: 1, name: 'Alice'}, {id: 2, name: 'Bob'}, {id: 3, name: 'Eve'}],
    right => right.id,
    left => left.owner,
    (right, left) => ({student: right.name, book: left && left.book || '--'}))
  .toArray();
// returns [
//   {student: 'Alice', book: '--'},
//   {student: 'Bob', book: 'Math'},
//   {student: 'Eve', book: 'History'}]
rightJoin is a deferred method and is executed only when the result sequence is iterated.

shuffle

Returns the sequence of elements in a random order.

Syntax
shuffle(): IterableQuery<T>;
This method is implemented using Fisher–Yates algorithm for generating the random permutation. Math.rand() is used to generate random numbers.

Example
import itiriri from 'itiriri';

itiriri([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]).shuffle().toArray();
// returns a random permutation of the same elements
// like: [2, 5, 3, 1, 4]

When count is greater than actual number of elements, results in an empty sequence.
Accepts also a negative count, in which case skips the elements from the end of the sequence.

Example
import itiriri from 'itiriri';

itiriri([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]).skip(2).toArray(); // [3, 4, 5]
itiriri([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]).skip(10).toArray(); // []

This method fallbacks to native JavaScript array sort method.

Example
import itiriri from 'itiriri';

itiriri([7, 9, 0, 4, 12]).sort().toArray(); // returns [0, 4, 7, 9, 12]
itiriri([
