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

|
|
## basic usage |
|
|
|
```javascript |
|
var yallist = require('yallist') |
|
var myList = yallist.create([1, 2, 3]) |
|
myList.push('foo') |
|
myList.unshift('bar') |
|
// of course pop() and shift() are there, too |
|
console.log(myList.toArray()) // ['bar', 1, 2, 3, 'foo'] |
|
myList.forEach(function (k) { |
|
// walk the list head to tail |
|
}) |
|
myList.forEachReverse(function (k, index, list) { |
|
// walk the list tail to head |
|
}) |
|
var myDoubledList = myList.map(function (k) { |
|
return k + k |
|
}) |
|
// now myDoubledList contains ['barbar', 2, 4, 6, 'foofoo'] |
|
// mapReverse is also a thing |
|
var myDoubledListReverse = myList.mapReverse(function (k) { |
|
return k + k |
|
}) // ['foofoo', 6, 4, 2, 'barbar'] |
|
|
|
var reduced = myList.reduce(function (set, entry) { |
|
set += entry |
|
return set |
|
}, 'start') |
|
console.log(reduced) // 'startfoo123bar' |
|
``` |
|
|
|
## api |
|
|
|
The whole API is considered "public". |
|
|
|
Functions with the same name as an Array method work more or less the |
|
same way. |
|
|
|
There's reverse versions of most things because that's the point. |
|
|
|
### Yallist |
|
|
|
Default export, the class that holds and manages a list. |
|
|
|
Call it with either a forEach-able (like an array) or a set of |
|
arguments, to initialize the list. |
|
|
|
The Array-ish methods all act like you'd expect. No magic length, |
|
though, so if you change that it won't automatically prune or add |
|
empty spots. |
|
|
|
### Yallist.create(..) |
|
|
|
Alias for Yallist function. Some people like factories. |
|
|
|
#### yallist.head |
|
|
|
The first node in the list |
|
|
|
#### yallist.tail |
|
|
|
The last node in the list |
|
|
|
#### yallist.length |
|
|
|
The number of nodes in the list. (Change this at your peril. It is |
|
not magic like Array length.) |
|
|
|
#### yallist.toArray() |
|
|
|
Convert the list to an array. |
|
|
|
#### yallist.forEach(fn, [thisp]) |
|
|
|
Call a function on each item in the list. |
|
|
|
#### yallist.forEachReverse(fn, [thisp]) |
|
|
|
Call a function on each item in the list, in reverse order. |
|
|
|
#### yallist.get(n) |
|
|
|
Get the data at position `n` in the list. If you use this a lot, |
|
probably better off just using an Array. |
|
|
|
#### yallist.getReverse(n) |
|
|
|
Get the data at position `n`, counting from the tail. |
|
|
|
#### yallist.map(fn, thisp) |
|
|
|
Create a new Yallist with the result of calling the function on each |
|
item. |
|
|
|
#### yallist.mapReverse(fn, thisp) |
|
|
|
Same as `map`, but in reverse. |
|
|
|
#### yallist.pop() |
|
|
|
Get the data from the list tail, and remove the tail from the list. |
|
|
|
#### yallist.push(item, ...) |
|
|
|
Insert one or more items to the tail of the list. |
|
|
|
#### yallist.reduce(fn, initialValue) |
|
|
|
Like Array.reduce. |
|
|
|
#### yallist.reduceReverse |
|
|
|
Like Array.reduce, but in reverse. |
|
|
|
#### yallist.reverse |
|
|
|
Reverse the list in place. |
|
|
|
#### yallist.shift() |
|
|
|
Get the data from the list head, and remove the head from the list. |
|
|
|
#### yallist.slice([from], [to]) |
|
|
|
Just like Array.slice, but returns a new Yallist. |
|
|
|
#### yallist.sliceReverse([from], [to]) |
|
|
|
Just like yallist.slice, but the result is returned in reverse. |
|
|
|
#### yallist.toArray() |
|
|
|
Create an array representation of the list. |
|
|
|
#### yallist.toArrayReverse() |
|
|
|
Create a reversed array representation of the list. |
|
|
|
#### yallist.unshift(item, ...) |
|
|
|
Insert one or more items to the head of the list. |
|
|
|
#### yallist.unshiftNode(node) |
|
|
|
Move a Node object to the front of the list. (That is, pull it out of |
|
wherever it lives, and make it the new head.) |
|
|
|
If the node belongs to a different list, then that list will remove it |
|
first. |
|
|
|
#### yallist.pushNode(node) |
|
|
|
Move a Node object to the end of the list. (That is, pull it out of |
|
wherever it lives, and make it the new tail.) |
|
|
|
If the node belongs to a list already, then that list will remove it |
|
first. |
|
|
|
#### yallist.removeNode(node) |
|
|
|
Remove a node from the list, preserving referential integrity of head |
|
and tail and other nodes. |
|
|
|
Will throw an error if you try to have a list remove a node that |
|
doesn't belong to it. |
|
|
|
### Yallist.Node |
|
|
|
The class that holds the data and is actually the list. |
|
|
|
Call with `var n = new Node(value, previousNode, nextNode)` |
|
|
|
Note that if you do direct operations on Nodes themselves, it's very |
|
easy to get into weird states where the list is broken. Be careful :) |
|
|
|
#### node.next |
|
|
|
The next node in the list. |
|
|
|
#### node.prev |
|
|
|
The previous node in the list. |
|
|
|
#### node.value |
|
|
|
The data the node contains. |
|
|
|
#### node.list |
|
|
|
The list to which this node belongs. (Null if it does not belong to |
|
any list.)
