bin-search-tree

#Overview#

This package is base high-performance realization of binary search tree. Saying "base" I mean it not contains any balancing logic. There are different balancing algorithms such as AVL tree, Red-Black tree, Splay tree and so on... You can implement your own realization of balanced binary search tree based on this package or use one of the next ready modules:

• Red-Black Tree (currently in development)
• AVL Tree (currently in development)
• Splay Tree (currently in development)

If you don't know what is binary search tree look at the next resources.

#Installation#

As always: go to your package folder and run:

npm i ---save bin-search-tree

This will installl latest bin-search-tree package and add it to dependencies of your package.json file.

#Usage#

var BinarySearchTree = require('bin-search-tree');

/* Creation of binary search tree */

// Using default key comparison logic (key1 < key2):
var tree1 = new BinarySearchTree(); 

// Some custom comparison logic with boolean value as result:
var tree2 = new BinarySearchTree(function(key1, key2) { return key1 < key2 });

// Some custom comparison logic with number value as resul:
var tree3 = new BinarySearchTree(function(key1, key2) { 
    return ((key1 < key2) && -1) || ((key1 > key2) && 1) || 0;
});

/* Setting data to tree */

// Keys can be enithing
tree.set('key1', 'value1').set('key2', 'value2'); // string keys
tree.set(1234,   'value1').set(2345,   'value2'); // number keys
tree.set({a:10}, 'value1').set({b:20}, 'value2'); // object keys
tree.set([1,2],  'value1').set({c:40}, 'value2'); // mixing keys with different types

/* Getting data from tree */

// Returns value if such exists for specified key, or `undefined` otherwise
var value1 = tree.get('key1');
var value2 = tree.get('key2');
var value3 = tree.get({a:10});
var value4 = tree.get(123);

/* Checkint data existance by key */

if (tree.has('key2')) { /* data exists */ } else { /* data does not exists */ }
if (tree.has(123))    { /* data exists */ } else { /* data does not exists */ }
if (tree.has([3,4])   { /* data exists */ } else { /* data does not exists */ }

/* Removing data from binary search tree */

// Returns `true` if value was successfully deleted, or `false` otherwise
var isDeleted = tree.delete('key1');
var isDeleted = tree.delete(123);
var isDeleted = tree.delete([1,2]);

/* Tree traversal: functional array methods */

// By default "in order" from left traversing type
tree.forEach(function(value, key, tree) { console.log(value, key) });

// "pre-order" from right traversing type
tree.forEach('pre:right', function(value, key, tree) { console.log(value, key) });

// "in-order" from left traversing type (default type)
tree.forEach('in:left', function(value, key, tree) { console.log(value, key) });

// "post-order" from right traversing type
tree.forEach('post:right', function(value, key, tree) { console.log(value, key) });

// "level-order" from left traversing type
tree.forEach('level', function(value, key, tree) { console.log(value, key) });

// array-like 'some()' method with "in-order" from right traversing type
var hasSomeValue = tree.some('in:right', function(value, key, tree)   { return value === 10 });

// array-like 'every()' method with "level-order" from left traversing type
var hasAllValues = tree.every('level:left', function(value, key, tree)  { return value === 'hello' });

// array-like 'reduce()' method with "pre-order" form left traversing type
var sumAllValues = tree.reduce('pre:left', function(prev, value, key, tree) { return prev + value }, 0);

/* Tree traversal: Iterators (ES6 support) */

for (let value of tree) { console.log(value) }
for (let value of tree.values()) { console.log(value) }
for (let key   of tree.keys())   { console.log(key)   }
for (let [key, value] of tree.entries()) { console.log(key, value) }

##Common (Map methods)##

###.get()###

var value = tree.get(key);

• key: The key of the value to get from tree.

Returns searched value, or undefined if value does not exists for specified key.

var v1 = tree.get('some_key');
var v2 = tree.get(14123);

Sets the value for the key into the tree.

var tree = tree.set(key, value);

• key: The key of the node to add to the tree.
• value: The value of the node to add to the tree.

Returns the tree for chaining purpose.

tree.set(325, 'hello').set(80.34, 'goodby').set('key3', 'here again');

###.has()###

Checks whether value exists for specified key.

var isExists = tree.has(key);

• key: The key of the value to test for presence.

Returns true is value exists, false - otherwise.

var isZeroExists = tree.has(0);
var isCatExists  = tree.has('cat');
var isBoobsExists = tree.has('boobs');

###.delete()###

Deletes value specified by key from the tree.

var wasDeleted = tree.delete(key);

• key: The key of the value to delete from the tree.

Returns true - if value was successfully deleted from the tree, false - if value does not exists for specified key.

var numberKeyWasDeleted = tree.delete(1234);
var stringKeyWasDeleted = tree.delete('some_string');

##Functional (Array methods)##

###.forEach()###

Executes provieded function once per each node of the tree. Direction of tree traversion: from the min key to the max key. You will be able to change direction in the future versions of the library.

tree.forEach([travType,] callback);
