circular-iterable

npm version Build Status

Create circular, iterable data structures in JS.

Transpiling

NB This library is written in ES2015 and implements the iterable and iterator protocols and also makes use of a generator function. As such you will either need to be using an ES2015 runtime or transpiling your code.

If using Babel then ensure you have the babel-runtime package installed. This module should work with babelify with no further configuration. If using in node Babel will not transpile node_modules by default and you will have to modify its ignore regex, check out the docs for more info, here is a CLI example:

babel-node --ignore node_modules\/!circular-iterable/

Installation

npm i -S circular-iterable

API

Import

import circularIterable from 'circular-iterable';

Create

const circularData = circularIterable(1, 2, 3);
 
// alternatively:
const circularDataFromArray = circularIterable(...[1, 2, 3]);

Access Data

circularData(-2); // => 2
circularData(-1); // => 3
circularData(0); // => 1
circularData(1); // => 2
circularData(2); // => 3
circularData(3); // => 1
circularData(4); // => 2
circularData(256); // => 2
circularData(-256); // => 3

Create Iterators

const iterator = circularData[Symbol.iterator]();
iterator.next(); // => {value: 1, done: false}
iterator.next(); // => {value: 2, done: false}
iterator.next(); // => {value: 3, done: false}
iterator.next(); // => {value: 1, done: false}
iterator.next(); // => {value: 2, done: false}
// ad infinitum...
 
// state of iterators is kept separate:
const newIterator = circularData[Symbol.iterator]();
newIterator.next(); // => {value: 1, done: false}
iterator.next(); // => {value: 3, done: false}

toArray

circularData.toArray(); // => [1, 2, 3]

Transducer Example

import circularIterable from 'circular-iterable';
import {append, compose, flip, map, multiply, take, transduce} from 'ramda';
 
const circularData = circularIterable(1, 2, 3);
const transducer = compose(map(multiply(3)), take(5));
transduce(transducer, flip(append), [], circularData); // => [3, 6, 9, 3, 6]

Implementation

There is no deep cloning of elements passed to circular-iterable so mutate them at your own peril.
