            alert(item);
        }
    
    </script>
  </body>
</html>

Usage [↑]

Create a sequence [↑]

const Enumerable = require('node-enumerable');

function *testGenerator() {
    yield 111;
    yield 222;
    yield 333;
}

// from a list of values / objects with variable length
let seq1 = Enumerable.create(1, 'MK', true, null, {});

// from an array
let seq2 = Enumerable.from([11, 22, 33, 44]);
// from a generator
let seq3 = Enumerable.from( testGenerator() );
// from a string
// 
// 'A', 'j', 'n', 'a', 't'
let seq4 = Enumerable.from('Ajnat');  // alt: Enumerable.fromString('Ajnat');

// range of numbers: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
let seq5 = Enumerable.range(2, 5);

// 5979 'TM' strings
let seq6 = Enumerable.repeat('TM', 5979);

// build, using factory function
// 
// 'item_1', 'item_2', 'item_3'
let seq7 = Enumerable.build((cancel, index) => {
    if (index < 3) {
        return 'item_' + (index + 1);
    }
    else {
        cancel();  // we tell that we
                   // want to cancel here
    }
});

// build, using factory function
// by building a flatten list
// 
// 1, 10, 100, 2, 20, 200, 3, 30, 300
let seq8 = Enumerable.buildMany((cancel, index) => {
    let n = index + 1;

    return [ n, n * 10, n * 100 ];
}, 3);  // create 3 elements
        // 
        // the 'build()' function has
        // a same argument

// create empty sequence
let seq9 = Enumerable.empty();

Work with them [↑]

let seq = Enumerable.create(5979, 23979, null, '23979', 1781, 241279);

let newSeq = seq.where((x) => x !== null)  // remove all elements that are (null)
                .skip(1)  // skip one element (5979)
                .take(3)  // take next remaining 3 elements (23979, 23979, 1781)
                .distinct()  // remove duplicates
                .select((x) => "" + x)  // convert to strings
                .order();  // order by element ascending

// you also can use the
// 'each' and 'forEach' methods
// of the sequence to do the
// following job
for (let item of newSeq) {
    // [0] 1781
    // [1] 23979
    console.log(item);
}

Most methods are chainable as in .NET context.

Async operations [↑]

const FS = require('fs');
const Path = require('path');

let seq = Enumerable.create('file1.txt', 'file2.txt', 'file3.txt', 'file4.txt');

seq.async((context) => {
    if (context.isFirst) {
        context.result = 0;  // initialize a counter
                             // value for the result
                             // s. 'counter' parameter
                             // of then() method below
    }

    // [0] file1.txt
    // [1] file2.txt
    // [2] file3.txt
    // [3] file4.txt
    let fileName = context.item;

    let fullPath = Path.join(__dirname, fileName);

    if (context.index < 2) {
        FS.readFile(fullPath, (err, data) => {
            if (err) {
                context.reject(err);  // has to be called if action
                                      // FAILED with the error object
                                      // or value as argument
            }
            else {
                ++context.result;  // update counter value
                                   // for the result
                                   // s. 'counter' of then()
                                   // method below

                context.resolve();  // has to be invoked if
                                    // invocation was SUCCESSFUL
            }
        });
    }
    else {
        context.cancel();  // cancel at 3rd element
    }
}).then((counter) => {
    // OK

    console.log('Number of loaded files: ' + counter);  // 2
}).catch((err) => {
    console.log('One action failed: ' + err);
});

The context argument of the async() method uses the AsyncActionContext interface.

Examples [↑]

Filters [↑]

// distinct()
// 1, 2, 4, 3
Enumerable.create(1, 2, 4, 2, 3)
          .distinct();
// distinctBy()
// "grape", "passionfruit", "banana", "raspberry"
Enumerable.create("grape", "passionfruit", "banana", "mango", 
                  "orange", "raspberry", "apple", "blueberry")
          .distinctBy(x => x.length);
 
// except()
// 2.0, 2.1, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5
Enumerable.create(2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5)
          .except([2.2]); 
 
// intersect()
// 26, 30
Enumerable.create(44, 26, 92, 30, 71, 38)
          .intersect([30, 59, 83, 47, 26, 4, 3]);
       
// ofType()
// '5979', 'Tanja'
Enumerable.create(1, '5979', 2, 'Tanja', 3)
          .ofType('string');  // typeof x === 'string'
          
// union()
// 5, 3, 9, 7, 8, 6, 4, 1, 0
Enumerable.create(5, 3, 9, 7, 5, 9, 3, 7)
          .union([8, 3, 6, 4, 4, 9, 1, 0]);
          
// where()
// 1, 2, 3
Enumerable.create(1, 2, 3, 4)
          .where((x) => x < 4);

Sort elements [↑]

// orderBy(), thenBy()
//
// "apple", "grape", "mango", "banana",
// "orange", "blueberry", "raspberry", "passionfruit"
Enumerable.create("grape", "passionfruit", "banana", "mango", 
                  "orange", "raspberry", "apple", "blueberry")
          .orderBy((x) => x.length)  // complement: orderByDescending()
          .thenBy((x) => x);  // complement: thenByDescending()
                              // shorter: then()

// reverse()
// 4, 3, 2, 1
Enumerable.create(1, 2, 3, 4)
          .reverse();

// rand()
// e.g.: 2, 5, 7, 8, 0, 4, 6, 9, 3, 1
Enumerable.range(0, 10)
          .rand();  // alt: shuffle()

Take / skip elements [↑]

// skip()
// 3, 4
Enumerable.create(0, 1, 2, 3, 4)
          .skip(3);

// skipLast()
// 0, 1, 2, 3
Enumerable.create(0, 1, 2, 3, 4)
          .skipLast();

// skipWhile()
// 55, 666, 77
Enumerable.create(22, 33, 44, 55, 666, 77)
          .skipWhile((x) => x < 50);
          
// take()
// 0, 1, 2
Enumerable.create(0, 1, 2, 3, 4)
          .take(3);

// takeWhile()
// 22, 33, 44
Enumerable.create(22, 33, 44, 55)
          .takeWhile((x) => x < 50);

Get one element [↑]

// elementAt()
// 33
Enumerable.create(11, 22, 33, 44)
          .elementAt(2);
          
// elementAtOrDefault()
// 'TM'
Enumerable.create(11, 22, 33, 44)
          .elementAtOrDefault(4, 'TM');  // out of range
          
// first()
// 11
Enumerable.create(11, 22, 33, 44)
          .first();
          
// firstOrDefault()
// 'MK'
Enumerable.create()
          .firstOrDefault('MK');
          
// last()
// 44
Enumerable.create(11, 22, 33, 44)
          .last();
          
// lastOrDefault()
// 'PZ'
Enumerable.create()
          .lastOrDefault('PZ');

// single()
// EXCEPTION, because we have more than one element
Enumerable.create(11, 22, 33, 44)
          .single();
          
// singleOrDefault()
// 11
Enumerable.create(11)
          .singleOrDefault('YS');

All methods with NO OrDefault suffix will throw exceptions if no element was found.

You also can use a function as first argument for all of these methods that works as filter / condition:

// first()
// 22
Enumerable.create(11, 22, 33, 44)
          .first((x) => x >= 20);

Accumulators [↑]

// aggregate()
// " Marcel Joachim Kloubert"
Enumerable.create('Marcel', 'Joachim', 'Kloubert')
          .aggregate((accumulator, item) => {
                         return accumulator += ' ' + item;
                     }, '');

// average()
// 2.5
Enumerable.create(1, 2, 3, 4)
          .average();

// "M., Tanja"
Enumerable.create('M.', 'Tanja')
          .joinToString(', ');

Minimum / maximum values [↑]

// max()
// 3
Enumerable.create(1, 3, 2)
          .max(); 
          
// min()
// 1
Enumerable.create(2, 3, 1, 2)
          .min();
