array-x.js

Functional methods (inspired by LINQ) on JavaScript arrays

Examples

var ArrayX: typeof X.Array = require("array-x");

var arr = new ArrayX<any>(
    new Date("March 21, 2020"),
    /abc[.]+/g,
    "a", "b", "c",
    1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7,
    [
        0,
        1
    ],
    [
        2,
        3
    ],
    [
        4,
        5,
        [
            6,
            7,
            [
                8,
                [
                    9,
                    10
                ]
            ]
        ]
    ],
    "last"
);

console.log("first(): " + arr.first());
console.log("last(): " + arr.last());
console.log("skip(2): " + arr.skip(2));
console.log("where(x=>x>3):" + arr.where(x => x > 3));
console.log("select(x=>x.length): " + arr.select(x => x.length));
console.log("flatten(): " + arr.flatten());
console.log("append(): " + arr.append(["a", "b", "c"]));

Output:

last(): last
skip(2): a,b,c,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,last
where(x=>x>3):Sat Mar 21 2020 00:00:00 GMT-0700 (Pacific Daylight Time),4,5,6,7
select(x=>x.length): ,,1,1,1,,,,,,,,2,2,3,4
