3 | Yet Another Linked List
|
---|
4 |
|
---|
5 | There are many doubly-linked list implementations like it, but this
|
---|
6 | one is mine.
|
---|
7 |
|
---|
8 | For when an array would be too big, and a Map can't be iterated in
|
---|
9 | reverse order.

|
---|
14 | ## basic usage
|
---|
15 |
|
---|
16 | ```javascript
|
---|
17 | var yallist = require('yallist')
|
---|
18 | var myList = yallist.create([1, 2, 3])
|
---|
19 | myList.push('foo')
|
---|
20 | myList.unshift('bar')
|
---|
21 | // of course pop() and shift() are there, too
|
---|
22 | console.log(myList.toArray()) // ['bar', 1, 2, 3, 'foo']
|
---|
23 | myList.forEach(function (k) {
|
---|
24 | // walk the list head to tail
|
---|
25 | })
|
---|
26 | myList.forEachReverse(function (k, index, list) {
|
---|
27 | // walk the list tail to head
|
---|
28 | })
|
---|
29 | var myDoubledList = myList.map(function (k) {
|
---|
30 | return k + k
|
---|
31 | })
|
---|
32 | // now myDoubledList contains ['barbar', 2, 4, 6, 'foofoo']
|
---|
33 | // mapReverse is also a thing
|
---|
34 | var myDoubledListReverse = myList.mapReverse(function (k) {
|
---|
35 | return k + k
|
---|
36 | }) // ['foofoo', 6, 4, 2, 'barbar']
|
---|
37 |
|
---|
38 | var reduced = myList.reduce(function (set, entry) {
|
---|
39 | set += entry
|
---|
40 | return set
|
---|
41 | }, 'start')
|
---|
42 | console.log(reduced) // 'startfoo123bar'
|
---|
43 | ```
|
---|
44 |
|
---|
45 | ## api
|
---|
46 |
|
---|
47 | The whole API is considered "public".
|
---|
48 |
|
---|
49 | Functions with the same name as an Array method work more or less the
|
---|
50 | same way.
|
---|
51 |
|
---|
52 | There's reverse versions of most things because that's the point.
|
---|
53 |
|
---|
54 | ### Yallist
|
---|
55 |
|
---|
56 | Default export, the class that holds and manages a list.
|
---|
57 |
|
---|
58 | Call it with either a forEach-able (like an array) or a set of
|
---|
59 | arguments, to initialize the list.
|
---|
60 |
|
---|
61 | The Array-ish methods all act like you'd expect. No magic length,
|
---|
62 | though, so if you change that it won't automatically prune or add
|
---|
63 | empty spots.
|
---|
64 |
|
---|
65 | ### Yallist.create(..)
|
---|
66 |
|
---|
67 | Alias for Yallist function. Some people like factories.
|
---|
68 |
|
---|
69 | #### yallist.head
|
---|
70 |
|
---|
71 | The first node in the list
|
---|
72 |
|
---|
73 | #### yallist.tail
|
---|
74 |
|
---|
75 | The last node in the list
|
---|
76 |
|
---|
77 | #### yallist.length
|
---|
78 |
|
---|
79 | The number of nodes in the list. (Change this at your peril. It is
|
---|
80 | not magic like Array length.)
|
---|
81 |
|
---|
82 | #### yallist.toArray()
|
---|
83 |
|
---|
84 | Convert the list to an array.
|
---|
85 |
|
---|
86 | #### yallist.forEach(fn, [thisp])
|
---|
87 |
|
---|
88 | Call a function on each item in the list.
|
---|
89 |
|
---|
90 | #### yallist.forEachReverse(fn, [thisp])
|
---|
91 |
|
---|
92 | Call a function on each item in the list, in reverse order.
|
---|
93 |
|
---|
94 | #### yallist.get(n)
|
---|
95 |
|
---|
96 | Get the data at position `n` in the list. If you use this a lot,
|
---|
97 | probably better off just using an Array.
|
---|
98 |
|
---|
99 | #### yallist.getReverse(n)
|
---|
100 |
|
---|
101 | Get the data at position `n`, counting from the tail.
|
---|
102 |
|
---|
103 | #### yallist.map(fn, thisp)
|
---|
104 |
|
---|
105 | Create a new Yallist with the result of calling the function on each
|
---|
106 | item.
|
---|
107 |
|
---|
108 | #### yallist.mapReverse(fn, thisp)
|
---|
109 |
|
---|
110 | Same as `map`, but in reverse.
|
---|
111 |
|
---|
112 | #### yallist.pop()
|
---|
113 |
|
---|
114 | Get the data from the list tail, and remove the tail from the list.
|
---|
115 |
|
---|
116 | #### yallist.push(item, ...)
|
---|
117 |
|
---|
118 | Insert one or more items to the tail of the list.
|
---|
119 |
|
---|
120 | #### yallist.reduce(fn, initialValue)
|
---|
121 |
|
---|
122 | Like Array.reduce.
|
---|
123 |
|
---|
124 | #### yallist.reduceReverse
|
---|
125 |
|
---|
126 | Like Array.reduce, but in reverse.
|
---|
127 |
|
---|
128 | #### yallist.reverse
|
---|
129 |
|
---|
130 | Reverse the list in place.
|
---|
131 |
|
---|
132 | #### yallist.shift()
|
---|
133 |
|
---|
134 | Get the data from the list head, and remove the head from the list.
|
---|
135 |
|
---|
136 | #### yallist.slice([from], [to])
|
---|
137 |
|
---|
138 | Just like Array.slice, but returns a new Yallist.
|
---|
139 |
|
---|
140 | #### yallist.sliceReverse([from], [to])
|
---|
141 |
|
---|
142 | Just like yallist.slice, but the result is returned in reverse.
|
---|
143 |
|
---|
144 | #### yallist.toArray()
|
---|
145 |
|
---|
146 | Create an array representation of the list.
|
---|
147 |
|
---|
148 | #### yallist.toArrayReverse()
|
---|
149 |
|
---|
150 | Create a reversed array representation of the list.
|
---|
151 |
|
---|
152 | #### yallist.unshift(item, ...)
|
---|
153 |
|
---|
154 | Insert one or more items to the head of the list.
|
---|
155 |
|
---|
156 | #### yallist.unshiftNode(node)
|
---|
157 |
|
---|
158 | Move a Node object to the front of the list. (That is, pull it out of
|
---|
159 | wherever it lives, and make it the new head.)
|
---|
160 |
|
---|
161 | If the node belongs to a different list, then that list will remove it
|
---|
162 | first.
|
---|
163 |
|
---|
164 | #### yallist.pushNode(node)
|
---|
165 |
|
---|
166 | Move a Node object to the end of the list. (That is, pull it out of
|
---|
167 | wherever it lives, and make it the new tail.)
|
---|
168 |
|
---|
169 | If the node belongs to a list already, then that list will remove it
|
---|
170 | first.
|
---|
171 |
|
---|
172 | #### yallist.removeNode(node)
|
---|
173 |
|
---|
174 | Remove a node from the list, preserving referential integrity of head
|
---|
175 | and tail and other nodes.
|
---|
176 |
|
---|
177 | Will throw an error if you try to have a list remove a node that
|
---|
178 | doesn't belong to it.
|
---|
179 |
|
---|
180 | ### Yallist.Node
|
---|
181 |
|
---|
182 | The class that holds the data and is actually the list.
|
---|
183 |
|
---|
184 | Call with `var n = new Node(value, previousNode, nextNode)`
|
---|
185 |
|
---|
186 | Note that if you do direct operations on Nodes themselves, it's very
|
---|
187 | easy to get into weird states where the list is broken. Be careful :)
|
---|
188 |
|
---|
189 | #### node.next
|
---|
190 |
|
---|
191 | The next node in the list.
|
---|
192 |
|
---|
193 | #### node.prev
|
---|
194 |
|
---|
195 | The previous node in the list.
|
---|
196 |
|
---|
197 | #### node.value
|
---|
198 |
|
---|
199 | The data the node contains.
|
---|
200 |
|
---|
201 | #### node.list
|
---|
202 |
|
---|
203 | The list to which this node belongs. (Null if it does not belong to
|
---|
204 | any list.)
|
---|
