SortedList

sorted list in JavaScript (browsers (ES5 compatible), Node.js)

Installation

git clone git://github.com/shinout/SortedList.git
OR
npm install sortedlist

Usage

// sort number
var list = SortedList.create();
list.insert(13, 2, 9, 8, 0);
console.log(list.toArray()); // [0,2,8,9,13]
// sort string
var arr = ["foo", "bar", "hoge"];
var strList = SortedList.create(arr, {
compare: "string"
});
console.log(strList.toArray()); // ["bar", "foo", "hoge"]
// SortedList is not Array
console.assert(!Array.isArray(list));
// SortedList is instanceof Array
console.assert(list instanceof Array);
// SortedList extends Array
console.assert(list[2], 8);
console.assert(list.length, 5);
console.assert(list.pop(), 13);
// register an already filtered array
var list = SortedList.create([0,1,2,3,4], { resume: true });

SortedList.create(options, arr)

create an instance of SortedList.

options is option object as follows.

key	type	description	example
unique	boolean	filter unique values in insertion.	true
filter	function	register a filtration function which returns boolean indicating valid value, running before insertion. By default, function(v) { returns true }, that is, no filtration.	function (v) { return !isNaN(Number(v) }
compare	one of "string", "number"	comparison function comparing two strings or two numbers asc. By default, "number" comparison.	"number"
compare	function	a custom comparison function which returns one of [1, 0, -1]. The same spec as Array#sort(fn). See Mozilla official site.	function(a,b) { return a.start - b.start }
resume	boolean	if true, sets the array given in the second arguments with no filtration	true

arr is a initial value. All elements are shallowly copied.

Returns an instance of SortedList.

sortedList.insertOne(val)

Inserts val to the list.

Returns inserted position if succeeded, false if failed.

sortedList.insert(val1, val2, ...)

Inserts val1val2, ... to the list.

Returns list of the result of executing insertOne(val).

console.log(SortedList.create().insert(3,1,2,4,5));
// [0,0,1,3,4]

sortedList.remove(pos)

Removes a value in the position pos.

Returns this.

sortedList.unique(createNew)

Make the list unique. If createNew is true, returns a new array.

Otherwise, duplicated elements are internally removed, and this method returns this.

sortedList.bsearch(val)

Executes binary search with the given val. Returns the position before insertion.

var list = SortedList.create([1,2,4,6,10]);
console.log(list.bsearch(4)); // 2
console.log(list.bsearch(5)); // 2
console.log(list.bsearch(0)); // -1
console.log(list.bsearch(12)); // 4

sortedList.key(val)

If the given val exists, returns the first position.

Otherwise, returns null.

var list = SortedList.create([1,2,4,4,4,6,10]);
console.log(list.key(10)); // 6
console.log(list.key(4)); // 2
console.log(list.key(5)); // null
console.log(list.key(1)); // 0

sortedList.keys(val)

If the given val exists, returns an array of all the positions with val.

Otherwise, returns null.

var list = SortedList.create([1,2,4,4,4,6,10]);
console.log(list.keys(10)); // [4]
console.log(list.keys(4)); // [2, 3, 4]
console.log(list.keys(5)); // null
console.log(list.keys(1)); // [0]

sortedList.toArray()

Creates a new array with this list.

SortedList extends Array

As SortedList extends Array, we can use every method in Array.

var list = SortedList.create([1,2,4,6,10]);
console.log(list[2]) // 4
list.forEach(function(total, v) {
// ...
});
var newArr = list.map(function(total, v) {
// ...
});

Be careful of these differences.

Array.isArray(SortedList.create()) // false
(SortedList.create()) instanceof Array // true
