Yet Another Linked List
|
|
|
|
There are many doubly-linked list implementations like it, but this
|
|
one is mine.
|
|
|
|
For when an array would be too big, and a Map can't be iterated in
|
|
reverse order.

|
|
|
|
## basic usage
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
var yallist = require('yallist')
|
|
var myList = yallist.create([1, 2, 3])
|
|
myList.push('foo')
|
|
myList.unshift('bar')
|
|
// of course pop() and shift() are there, too
|
|
console.log(myList.toArray()) // ['bar', 1, 2, 3, 'foo']
|
|
myList.forEach(function (k) {
|
|
// walk the list head to tail
|
|
})
|
|
myList.forEachReverse(function (k, index, list) {
|
|
// walk the list tail to head
|
|
})
|
|
var myDoubledList = myList.map(function (k) {
|
|
return k + k
|
|
})
|
|
// now myDoubledList contains ['barbar', 2, 4, 6, 'foofoo']
|
|
// mapReverse is also a thing
|
|
var myDoubledListReverse = myList.mapReverse(function (k) {
|
|
return k + k
|
|
}) // ['foofoo', 6, 4, 2, 'barbar']
|
|
|
|
var reduced = myList.reduce(function (set, entry) {
|
|
set += entry
|
|
return set
|
|
}, 'start')
|
|
console.log(reduced) // 'startfoo123bar'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## api
|
|
|
|
The whole API is considered "public".
|
|
|
|
Functions with the same name as an Array method work more or less the
|
|
same way.
|
|
|
|
There's reverse versions of most things because that's the point.
|
|
|
|
### Yallist
|
|
|
|
Default export, the class that holds and manages a list.
|
|
|
|
Call it with either a forEach-able (like an array) or a set of
|
|
arguments, to initialize the list.
|
|
|
|
The Array-ish methods all act like you'd expect. No magic length,
|
|
though, so if you change that it won't automatically prune or add
|
|
empty spots.
|
|
|
|
### Yallist.create(..)
|
|
|
|
Alias for Yallist function. Some people like factories.
|
|
|
|
#### yallist.head
|
|
|
|
The first node in the list
|
|
|
|
#### yallist.tail
|
|
|
|
The last node in the list
|
|
|
|
#### yallist.length
|
|
|
|
The number of nodes in the list. (Change this at your peril. It is
|
|
not magic like Array length.)
|
|
|
|
#### yallist.toArray()
|
|
|
|
Convert the list to an array.
|
|
|
|
#### yallist.forEach(fn, [thisp])
|
|
|
|
Call a function on each item in the list.
|
|
|
|
#### yallist.forEachReverse(fn, [thisp])
|
|
|
|
Call a function on each item in the list, in reverse order.
|
|
|
|
#### yallist.get(n)
|
|
|
|
Get the data at position `n` in the list. If you use this a lot,
|
|
probably better off just using an Array.
|
|
|
|
#### yallist.getReverse(n)
|
|
|
|
Get the data at position `n`, counting from the tail.
|
|
|
|
#### yallist.map(fn, thisp)
|
|
|
|
Create a new Yallist with the result of calling the function on each
|
|
item.
|
|
|
|
#### yallist.mapReverse(fn, thisp)
|
|
|
|
Same as `map`, but in reverse.
|
|
|
|
#### yallist.pop()
|
|
|
|
Get the data from the list tail, and remove the tail from the list.
|
|
|
|
#### yallist.push(item, ...)
|
|
|
|
Insert one or more items to the tail of the list.
|
|
|
|
#### yallist.reduce(fn, initialValue)
|
|
|
|
Like Array.reduce.
|
|
|
|
#### yallist.reduceReverse
|
|
|
|
Like Array.reduce, but in reverse.
|
|
|
|
#### yallist.reverse
|
|
|
|
Reverse the list in place.
|
|
|
|
#### yallist.shift()
|
|
|
|
Get the data from the list head, and remove the head from the list.
|
|
|
|
#### yallist.slice([from], [to])
|
|
|
|
Just like Array.slice, but returns a new Yallist.
|
|
|
|
#### yallist.sliceReverse([from], [to])
|
|
|
|
Just like yallist.slice, but the result is returned in reverse.
|
|
|
|
#### yallist.toArray()
|
|
|
|
Create an array representation of the list.
|
|
|
|
#### yallist.toArrayReverse()
|
|
|
|
Create a reversed array representation of the list.
|
|
|
|
#### yallist.unshift(item, ...)
|
|
|
|
Insert one or more items to the head of the list.
|
|
|
|
#### yallist.unshiftNode(node)
|
|
|
|
Move a Node object to the front of the list. (That is, pull it out of
|
|
wherever it lives, and make it the new head.)
|
|
|
|
If the node belongs to a different list, then that list will remove it
|
|
first.
|
|
|
|
#### yallist.pushNode(node)
|
|
|
|
Move a Node object to the end of the list. (That is, pull it out of
|
|
wherever it lives, and make it the new tail.)
|
|
|
|
If the node belongs to a list already, then that list will remove it
|
|
first.
|
|
|
|
#### yallist.removeNode(node)
|
|
|
|
Remove a node from the list, preserving referential integrity of head
|
|
and tail and other nodes.
|
|
|
|
Will throw an error if you try to have a list remove a node that
|
|
doesn't belong to it.
|
|
|
|
### Yallist.Node
|
|
|
|
The class that holds the data and is actually the list.
|
|
|
|
Call with `var n = new Node(value, previousNode, nextNode)`
|
|
|
|
Note that if you do direct operations on Nodes themselves, it's very
|
|
easy to get into weird states where the list is broken. Be careful :)
|
|
|
|
#### node.next
|
|
|
|
The next node in the list.
|
|
|
|
#### node.prev
|
|
|
|
The previous node in the list.
|
|
|
|
#### node.value
|
|
|
|
The data the node contains.
|
|
|
|
#### node.list
|
|
|
|
The list to which this node belongs. (Null if it does not belong to
|
|
any list.)
