Array View for TypeScript and JavaScript

Array View is a TypeScript library that provides a powerful set of utilities for working with arrays in a versatile and efficient manner. These classes enable developers to create views of arrays, manipulate data with ease, and select specific elements using index lists, masks, and slice parameters.

Array View offers a Python-like slicing experience for efficient data manipulation and selection of array elements.

Features

• Create array views for easy data manipulation.
• Select elements using Python-like slice notation.
• Handle array slicing operations with ease.
• Enable efficient selection of elements using index lists and boolean masks.

Installation

npm install array-view

Quick examples

Slicing

import { view } from "array-view";

const originalArray = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9];
const originalView = view(originalArray);

originalView.loc['1:7:2']; // [2, 4, 6]
originalView.loc[':3']; // [1, 2, 3]
originalView.loc['::-1']; // [9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1]

originalView.loc[2]; // 3
originalView.loc[4]; // 5
originalView.loc[-1]; // 9
originalView.loc[-2]; // 8

originalView.loc['1:7:2'] = [22, 44, 66];
originalArray; // [1, 22, 3, 44, 5, 66, 7, 8, 9]

Subviews

import { view, mask, select, slice } from "array-view";

const originalArray = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
const originalView = view(originalArray);

originalView.subview(mask([true, false, true, false, true])).toArray(); // [1, 3, 5]
originalView.subview(select([1, 2, 4])).toArray(); // [2, 3, 5]
originalView.subview(slice('::-1')).toArray(); // [5, 4, 3, 2, 1]
originalView.subview(slice([,,-1])).toArray(); // [5, 4, 3, 2, 1]

originalView.subview(mask([true, false, true, false, true])).apply((x: number) => x * 10);
originalArray; // [10, 2, 30, 4, 50]

Combining subviews

import { view, mask, select, slice } from "array-view";

const originalArray = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10];

const subview = view(originalArray)
  .subview('::2')                                 // [1, 3, 5, 7, 9]
  .subview(mask([true, false, true, true, true])) // [1, 5, 7, 9]
  .subview(select([0, 1, 2]))                     // [1, 5, 7]
  .subview('1:')                                  // [5, 7]

subview.loc[':'] = [55, 77];
originalArray; // [1, 2, 3, 4, 55, 6, 77, 8, 9, 10]

Mask example

import { view, mask } from "array-view";

const array1 = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10];
const array2 = [-1, -2, -3, -4, -5, -6, -7, -8, -9, -10];

const mask = view(array1).is((x: number) => x % 3 === 0);
// MaskSelector([false, false, true, false, false, true, false, false, true, false])

view(array2)
  .subview(mask)
  .applyWith(
    view(array1).subview(mask),
    (lhs: number, rhs: number) => lhs + rhs,
  )
  .toArray();
// [-1, -2, 0, -4, -5, 0, -7, -8, 0, -10]);
