@beastboyadi/collection NPM

Collection

Collection is a package inspired by @discordjs/collection used for caching and managing keys and values. It's a better version of @discordjs/collection made with Javascript instead of Typescript which makes it more fast. It also has much extra features and functions than @discordjs/collection, making it the best choice for all.

Install

# install locally (recommended)
npm install @beastboyadi/collection --save

jsonCollection

In jsonCollection the collection uses JSON for caching which is faster than Map. But it uses a bit more memory as compared to Map.

mapCollection

In mapCollection the collection uses Map for caching which is memory efficient but not faster than JSON. It also saves all Number type strings into BigInt which uses 5 times less memory

Both jsonCollection and mapCollection have same functions making it easy to shift to any of them.

Usage

Importing the module

const collection = require("@beastboyadi/collection");

Initiating jsonCollection class

const json = new collection.json();

Initiating mapCollection class

const map = new collection.map();
