About stdlib...
We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.
The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.
When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.
To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!
iterFlow
Create a fluent interface for chaining together iterator methods.
Installation
npm install @stdlib/iter-flowUsage
var iterFlow = require( '@stdlib/iter-flow' );iterFlow( methods )
Returns a fluent interface iterator constructor with a customized prototype based on provided methods.
var iterHead = require( '@stdlib/iter-head' );
var iterSome = require( '@stdlib/iter-some' );
// Create a mini-fluent interface having just the methods `head` and `some`:
var FluentIterator = iterFlow({
'head': iterHead,
'some': iterSome
});The methods argument should be an object which maps constructor method names to iterator functions. Each iterator function should have the following function signature:
function iterFcn( iterator[, ...args] ) {...}
where
When a fluent interface iterator method is invoked, the method invokes the corresponding iterator function with an iterator and provided method arguments.
If an iterator function returns an iterator, the corresponding fluent interface method returns a new fluent interface instance; otherwise, the corresponding fluent interface method returns the iterator function result.
FluentIterator( iterator )
Returns a new fluent interface iterator from a source iterator.
var array2iterator = require( '@stdlib/array-to-iterator' );
var iterHead = require( '@stdlib/iter-head' );
var iterSome = require( '@stdlib/iter-some' );
// Create a mini-fluent interface having just the methods `head` and `some`:
var FluentIterator = iterFlow({
'head': iterHead,
'some': iterSome
});
// Create a source iterator:
var src = array2iterator( [ 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1 ] );
// Convert the source iterator to a fluent interface iterator:
var it = new FluentIterator( src );
// Test if at least 3 of the first 5 iterated values are truthy:
var bool = it.head( 5 ).some( 3 );
// returns trueFluentIterator.prototype.next()
Returns an iterator protocol-compliant object containing the next iterated value (if one exists) assigned to a value property and a done property having a boolean value indicating whether the iterator is finished.
var array2iterator = require( '@stdlib/array-to-iterator' );
var iterHead = require( '@stdlib/iter-head' );
var iterSome = require( '@stdlib/iter-some' );
// Create a mini-fluent interface having just the methods `head` and `some`:
var FluentIterator = iterFlow({
'head': iterHead,
'some': iterSome
});
// Create a source iterator:
var src = array2iterator( [ 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1 ] );
// Create a fluent interface iterator:
var it1 = new FluentIterator( src );
// Invoke the `head` method to return an iterator limited to the first 5 source values:
var it2 = it1.head( 5 );
// Perform manual iteration...
var v;
while ( true ) {
v = it2.next();
if ( v.done ) {
break;
}
console.log( v.value );
}FluentIterator.prototype.return( [value] )
Closes a fluent interface iterator and returns a single (optional) argument in an iterator protocol-compliant object.
var array2iterator = require( '@stdlib/array-to-iterator' );
var iterHead = require( '@stdlib/iter-head' );
var iterSome = require( '@stdlib/iter-some' );
// Create a mini-fluent interface having just the methods `head` and `some`:
var FluentIterator = iterFlow({
'head': iterHead,
'some': iterSome
});
// Create a source iterator:
var src = array2iterator( [ 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1 ] );
// Create a fluent interface iterator:
var it1 = new FluentIterator( src );
// Invoke the `head` method to return an iterator limited to the first 5 source values:
var it2 = it1.head( 5 );
// Get the first value:
var v = it2.next().value;
// returns 0
// Get the second value:
v = it2.next().value;
// returns 0
// Get the third value:
v = it2.next().value;
// returns 1
// Close the iterator:
var bool = it2.return().done;
// returns true
// Attempt to get the fourth value:
v = it2.next().value;
// returns undefinedNotes
- The iterator function evaluation context is always
null. -
Iterator functions which return iterators are expected to return iterator protocol-compliant objects (i.e., an
objecthaving anextmethod which returns the next iterated value (if one exists) assigned to avalueproperty and adoneproperty having abooleanvalue indicating whether the iterator is finished). - If an environment supports
Symbol.iterator, the returned iterator is iterable.
Examples
var array2iterator = require( '@stdlib/array-to-iterator' );
var iterHead = require( '@stdlib/iter-head' );
var iterSome = require( '@stdlib/iter-some' );
var iterFlow = require( '@stdlib/iter-flow' );
// Create a "fluent" interface:
var FluentIterator = iterFlow({
'head': iterHead,
'some': iterSome
});
// Create a source iterator:
var arr = array2iterator( [ 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1 ] );
// Create a new iterator:
var it = new FluentIterator( arr );
var bool = it.head( 5 ).some( 3 );
// returns true
// Create another source iterator:
arr = array2iterator( [ 0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1 ] );
// Create a new iterator:
it = new FluentIterator( arr );
bool = it.head( 5 ).some( 3 );
// returns falseSee Also
