Composable iterator and async iterator tools, supporting old platforms without yield or async/await
An iterator / async-iterator library with support for old platforms that don't have iterables or async-iterables. Iterly provides several useful functions for composing, manipulating and iterating through iterables, async-iterables, arrays, streams, and array-like objects such as nodejs Buffer.
Even though iterly doesn't use async functions or generators, and should work on browsers as far back as ie10, you will still need to pass your code through Babel or similar to transpile modern syntax used in this library, such as destructuring.
yarn add iterly or npm install iterly
Loops over any iterable, async-iterable, iterator, async-iterator or array-like, calling fn for each item. If looping over an async-iterable / async-iterator a promise will be returned by each with the value of the final return from fn.
x number The number of async items to run in parallel, has no effect on sync iterables. (optional, default 1)fn (function (value) | function (value, done)) The fn to call for each item. The function will be called
for every value in the iterable / async-iterable. If the function has a second param (done) then
the loop function will be called when the iterable / async-iterable is done, with a done value of true.
If no second param (done) is provided then the loop function will only be called with the values from
the iterable / async-iterable.it (iterable | asyncIterable) The iterable, async-iterable, iterator, async-iterator or array-like
to loop over.each((value) => console.log(value), [1, 2, 3, 4])
// Will print:
// 1
// 2
// 3
// 4
Returns (Promise | undefined) Returns a Promise that resolves to the last value returned by fn if looping over an async-iterable. If looping over an iterable returns undefined.
Gets an iterator / async-iterator for any iterable, async-iterable, array-like, or function with a sentinel.
obj Object The possible iterable to create an iterator for.options Object (optional, default {})
options.sentinel Any distinct value to use as a stop indicator when creating an iterator from a function,
see iterFn.options.isAsync Boolean If true and obj is a function, an async-iterator will be returned. (optional, default false)Returns (@@iterator | @@asyncIterator | undefined) Returns an iterator, async-iterator, or undefined if obj is not iterable.
Gets an iterator for any array-like; that is anything with a length property that can be indexed with array[index] notation.
a (Array | arrayLike) The array-like to create an iterator from.chunkSize number If set larger than zero, will break the array up
into chunks of length chunkSize. (optional, default 0)var it = iterArray([1, 2, 3, 4])
// Will give you an iterator with the values: 1, 2, 3, 4
var it = iterArray([1, 2, 3, 4], 2)
// Will give you an iterator with the values: [1, 2], [3, 4]
Returns @@iterator Returns an iterator with the values from the array-like.
Gets an iterator of [key, value] pairs for any javascript object.
o Object The object to create an iterator from. Only iterates over an objects own-properties.var it = iterObject({a: 1, b: 2, c: 3})
// Will give you an iterator with the values: [a, 1], [b, 2], [c, 3]
Returns @@iterator Returns an iterator with the [key, value] pairs from the object.
Turns a function into an iterator.
fn function ({i, sentinel}) The iterator will return whatever this function returns,
until it returns the sentinel value, then it will stop. The function is given an object with
an index i and the sentinel value, you can add any other state you want to keep between iterations
to this object if you like.options Object This options object must contain the sentinel property, the sentinel
is returned by fn to signal the end of iteration.
options.sentinel Any distinct value to use as an indicator that the iterator function is done.options.isAsync Boolean If true an async-iterator will be returned. (optional, default false)var it = iterFn(({i, sentinel}) => i >= 4 ? sentinel : i * 2, {sentinel: {}})
// Will give you an iterator with the values: 0, 2, 4, 6
Returns (@@iterator | @@asyncIterator) Returns an iterator or async-iterator with the values returned by fn.
Perhaps the most useful function here; allows you to compose (combine) other functions into one new function that takes one argument of an iterable, async-iterable, iterator, or async-iterator.
fns ...function Any number of functions to combine.var urlPrefix = 'http://some.resource.com/'
var files = ['file.txt', 'file2.txt', 'file3.txt', 'file4.txt']
var getShortTexts = compose(
filter.curry(file => file != 'file3.txt'), // Removes file3.txt
map.curry(file => urlPrefix + file), // Adds the url prefix to the file names, creating the file url
amap.curry(url => fetch(url).then(res => res.text())), // Fetches the files from the web
afilter.curry(txt => txt.length <= 140), // Removes files longer than 140 characters
)
each(txt => console.log(txt), getShortTexts([files]))
// Will print out the contents of the files with 140 or fewer chracters, skipping file3.txt.
