Package Exports

arrayslicer

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (arrayslicer) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

Array Slicer

Node.JS module that implements an optimized binary search over a given array of objects.

Quick example

var IndexedArray = require("arrayslicer");

var ia = new IndexedArray([{num: 1}, {num: 2}, {num: 5}], "num");

ia.fetch(2); // ia.cursor is set to 1
ia.get(1); // -> {num: 1}
ia.getRange(2, 5); // -> [{num: 2}, {num: 5}]

API

IndexedArray(array, index)

Creates a new IndexedArray object based on array and indexed by the property index.

IndexedArray.sort()

Sort the IndexedArray by its index property. This is needed to ensure the values are retrieved properly.

IndexedArray.fetch(value)

If there are no matching elements, the properties nexthigh and nextlow are set to the nearest indexes to value.

IndexedArray.get(value)

Gets the element with index equal value.

If there are no matching elements, the function will return null.

IndexedArray.get(begin, end)

Returns an array containing all the elements within begin and end, including both values if exact matches are found within the data.

IndexedArray.setCompare(fn)

Use a custom compare function.

IndexedArray.setSort(fn)
