KeySet with 4 classes to represent concepts of All, None, Some, and AllExceptSome, the last 2 with a sorted uniq list of keys, and all with intersection calculations.

(TypeScript port of https://github.com/eturino/ruby_key_set)

Library bootstrapped using typescript-starter.

Installation

yarn add @eturino/key-set or npm install @eturino/key-set.

Usage

We have 4 classes:

• KeySetAll: represents the entirety of possible keys (𝕌)
• KeySetNone: represents an empty set (∅)
• KeySetSome: represents a concrete set (A ⊂ 𝕌)
• KeySetAllExceptSome: represents the complementary of a set, all the elements except the given ones (A' = {x ∈ 𝕌 | x ∉ A}) _(see Complement in Wikipedia)*

Creation: all(), none(), some([...]), allExceptSome([...]), someForced([...]), allExceptSomeForced([...])

Build your KeySets using the build functions

import {
  all,
  none,
  some,
  allExceptSome,
  someForced,
  allExceptSomeForced
} from "@eturino/key-set";

all(); // => returns a new instance of KeySetAll
none(); // => returns a new instance of KeySetNone

some([1, 3, 2, 3]); // returns a new instance of KeySetSome with keys [1, 2, 3] (sorted, unique)
some([]); // returns a new instance of KeySetNone

allExceptSome([1, 3, 2, 3]); // returns a new instance of KeySetAllExceptSome with keys [1, 2, 3] (sorted, unique)
allExceptSome([]); // returns a new instance of KeySetAll

someForced([1, 3, 2, 3]); // returns a new instance of KeySetSome with keys [1, 2, 3] (sorted, unique)
someForced([]); // throws an InvalidEmptySetError

allExceptSomeForced([1, 3, 2, 3]); // returns a new instance of KeySetAllExceptSome with keys [1, 2, 3] (sorted, unique)
allExceptSomeForced([]); // throws an InvalidEmptySetError

type

All KeySet expose a type property that will return a member of the KeySetTypes enum.

• KeySetAll returns ALL
• KeySetAllExceptSome returns ALL_EXCEPT_SOME
• KeySetNone returns NONE
• KeySetSome returns SOME

type in v1.x vs v2.x

v2.0 changed the values returned by type, make them SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE, which allows for easier integration with GraphQL enums.

In v1.x, the values were all, allExceptSome, none and some.

representsXXX()

All KeySet expose 4 methods representXXX(). Each class return false for all except their own.

• representsAll(): KeySetAll returns true
• representsNone(): KeySetNone returns true
• representsSome(): KeySetSome returns true
• representsAllExceptSome(): KeySetAllExceptSome returns true

clone()

All KeySet has a clone() method, which will return a new instance of the same class that represents the same KeySet.

If the KeySet is KeySetSome or KeySetAllExceptSome, they will have an array with the same keys.

const newKeySet = keySet.clone();

isEqual(other)

All KeySet has an isEqual(other) method that returns true if the other keySet is of the same class and represents the same KeySet.

If the KeySet is KeySetSome or KeySetAllExceptSome, they will have to have an array with the same keys.

if (keySet.isEqual(otherKeySet))

invert()

All KeySet has an invert() method that returns an instance of the opposite class, which represents the complementary KeySet. _(see Complement in Wikipedia)*

• KeySetAll ⟷ KeySetNone
• KeySetSome ⟷ KeySetAllExceptSome

const complementaryKeySet = keySet.invert();

remove(other)

Returns a new KeySet with the difference between ThisSet - OtherSet (A - B)

const diffKeySet = keySet.remove(other);

intersect(other)

Returns a new KeySet with the intersection of both Sets (A ∩ B), representing the elements present in both sets

const diffKeySet = keySet.intersect(other);

Serialization

The Serialized representation of the KeySet (KeySetSerialized) is a plain object with type and optionally elements.

• { type: "ALL" }
• { type: "NONE" }
• { type: "SOME", elements: [1, 2, 3] }
• { type: "ALL_EXCEPT_SOME", elements: [1, 2, 3] }

There are 2 ways of getting the serialized representation of the keySet

• keySet.serialized()
• serializeKeySet(keySet)

Parsing

We can create a KeySet from the serialized representation

• parseKeySet(serialized)

we can also pass the actual KeySet to the parseKeySet, which will return the given KeySet without touching it.

Type Predicates

There are type predicates exposed, one for each KeySet type and the other for each KeySetSerialized.

• isKeySet(x): x is KeySet
• isKeySetAll(x): x is KeySetAll
• isKeySetAllExceptSome(x): x is KeySetAllExceptSome
• isKeySetNone(x): x is KeySetNone
• isKeySetSome(x): x is KeySetSome
• isKeySetSerialized(x): x is KeySetSerialized
• isKeySetAllSerialized(x): x is KeySetAllSerialized
• isKeySetAllExceptSomeSerialized(x): x is KeySetAllExceptSomeSerialized
• isKeySetNoneSerialized(x): x is KeySetNoneSerialized
• isKeySetSomeSerialized(x): x is KeySetSomeSerialized

Util functions

The lib also exports the 2 util functions used in the code

• uniqueArray(list): returns another array with unique items
  • adapted from https://medium.com/@jakubsynowiec/unique-array-values-in-javascript-7c932682766c (credit to Jakub Synowiec)
• arraysEqual(a, b): returns true if the 2 arrays have the same keys
  • adapted from https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3115982/how-to-check-if-two-arrays-are-equal-with-javascript (credit to enyo)

Util array types

The lib also exports 2 util array types EmptyArray<T> and NonEmptyArray<T>, with their corresponding type predicates isEmptyArray(), and isNonEmptyArray().

const lists: Array<NonEmptyArray<any>> = [
  [1], // ok
  [] // error
];

const lists2: Array<EmptyArray<any>> = [
  [], // ok
  [1] // error
];

const a: string[] = [];
isEmptyArray(a); // => true (also sets that a is EmptyArray<string>)
isNonEmptyArray(a); // => false

const b: string[] = ["something"];
isEmptyArray(b); // => false
isNonEmptyArray(b); // => true (also sets that a is NonEmptyArray<string>)
