bp-array-sort

bp-array-sort

bp-array-sort is a failover implemenations for faulty Array.prototype.sort method browser's implementation

Installation

We use requirehit for loading it into the browser, but you should be able to use it with others browser module managers.

To use on nodejs:

npm i --save bp-array-sort

Usage

You could access sort method by saving it into a var:

var sort = require( 'bp-array-sort' );

var myArray = [ 3, 6, 2, 5, 7, 4, 9, 8 ];

sort( myArray );

Or you can replace engine's native method:

require( 'bp-array-sort' ).prototify();

var myArray = [ 3, 6, 2, 5, 7, 4, 9, 8 ];

myArray.sort();

It also has exacly the same behaviors as engine's native method, meaning that you could provide a function to run on each iteration:

require( 'bp-array-sort' ).prototify();

var myArray = [ 3, 6, 2, 5, 7, 4, 9, 8 ];

// Randomly sort with 1:4 positive ratio
myArray.sort(function () {
  return ( Math.random() - 0.25 ) > 0;
});

Motivation

Gabriel found out that some browsers where deployed with a faulty sort, so he ended up creating our own. Inspite it's tiny as hell, that doesn't ovelaps how important it is for every frontend developers, as so, we brought it to the Open-Source comunity so anyone could use, contribute and enjoy it.
