hasharray

hash-array

A data structure that combines a hash and an array for CRUD operations by object keys or index.

Complex key paths can be used.

Install

npm install hasharray

Testing

mocha

Example

Simple Usage

var HashArray = require ('hasharray');

// Create new hasharray with two key mappings.
var ha = new HashArray(['name', 'zip']);

// Add 2 objects to the hash. Key mappings are automatically created.
var item1 = {name: 'Josh', zip: '54321'};
var item2 = {name: 'Josh', zip: '12345'};
ha.add(item1, item2);

if (ha.has('Josh'))
{
  console.log(ha.get('Josh'));
}

// Display the number of unique objects. In this case, 2.
console.log(ha.all.length);

// Remove an element by key
ha.removeByKey('54321'); // This removes item1

// Remove item2 directly
ha.remove(item2); // This removes the first item that was added

Complex Keys

var HashArray = require ('hasharray');
var ha = new HashArray([
      ['name', 'last'],
      ['name', 'first'],
      'zip'
    ]);

ha.add({
    name: {
      first: 'Josh',
      last: 'Jung'
    },
    zip: 60616
  });

console.log(ha.get(60616) === ha.get('Josh') == ha.get('Jung'));
