Installation

npm install pqjs

Usage

Importing the PriorityQueue

import {PriorityQueue} from "pqjs"

Creating a PriorityQueue

const pq = new PriorityQueue()

Creating a PriorityQueue with Initial Values

const initialValues = [10, 5, 20]
const pq = new PriorityQueue(initialValues)

Adding Elements

pq.push(10)
pq.push(5)
pq.push(20)

Accessing the Top Element

console.log(pq.top()) // 20 for Max-Heap by default

Removing the Top Element

console.log(pq.pop()) // 20

Checking if the Queue is Empty

console.log(pq.empty()) // false

Clearing the Queue

pq.clear()
console.log(pq.empty()) // true

Converting to an Array

console.log(pq.toArray()) // []

Using a Comparator for Min-Heap

const minHeapComparator = (a, b) => b - a
const minHeap = new PriorityQueue([], minHeapComparator)

minHeap.push(10)
minHeap.push(5)
minHeap.push(20)

console.log(minHeap.pop()) // 5 for Min-Heap
console.log(minHeap.pop()) // 10 for Min-Heap
console.log(minHeap.pop()) // 20 for Min-Heap
