Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

Quicksort

NPM Build status Maintainability status Coverage status Bundle size Code style: XO Release: Semantic

Yet another implementation of quicksort in JavaScript aimed to be flexible, lightweight and fast.

Install

npm install @alvarocastro/quicksort

Usage

const sort = require('@alvarocastro/quicksort');

const elements = [8, -1, 3, 0.5, 200];
sort(elements);
// => [-1, 0.5, 3, 8, 200]

sort(elements[, compare[, getPivot]])

Returns a new sorted array based on the compare function criteria.

elements

Type: Array

List of elements to sort.

compare

Type: Function Default: comparatorAscending

The function to use to compare two elements and find their sorting order. The expected return of the function is:

  • -1 to sort the element to the left.
  • 1 to sort the element to the right.
  • 0 when the elements are the same, no sorting is made.

A descending function is also provided in utils.js.

getPivot

Type: Function Default: pickMiddleValue

The function to use to pick a pivot value from the array. The expected return of the function is one element from the array being sorted.

Performance

Want to test the performance?

Included is the command npm run performance that will run a battery of profiled tests for your needs.

Here is an example of the output (YMMV depending your hardware)

Sorting random numbers generated in the range [-1,1]:
#1 - 10 numbers
> Quicksort: 1ms
> Array.sort: 0ms
#2 - 100 numbers
> Quicksort: 0ms
> Array.sort: 1ms
#3 - 1000 numbers
> Quicksort: 10ms
> Array.sort: 1ms
#4 - 10000 numbers
> Quicksort: 17ms
> Array.sort: 23ms
#5 - 100000 numbers
> Quicksort: 162ms
> Array.sort: 422ms
#6 - 1000000 numbers
> Quicksort: 1523ms
> Array.sort: 7164ms

More examples

Reverse order

const sort = require('@alvarocastro/quicksort');
const {comparatorDescending} = require('@alvarocastro/quicksort/utils');

const elements = [8, -1, 3, 0.5, 200];
sort(elements, comparatorDescending);
// => [200, 8, 3, 0.5, -1]

Custom elements

const sort = require('@alvarocastro/quicksort');

const elements = [
	{name: 'Sarah Connor', firstAppearance: 'The Terminator'},
	{name: 'T-800', firstAppearance: 'The Terminator'},
	{name: 'Kyle Reese', firstAppearance: 'The Terminator'},
	{name: 'John Connor', firstAppearance: 'Terminator 2: Judgement Day'},
	{name: 'T-1000', firstAppearance: 'Terminator 2: Judgement Day'}
];
const comparator = function (a, b) {
	if (a.name < b.name) {
		return -1;
	} else if (a.name > b.name) {
		return 1;
	}
	return 0;
};
sort(elements, comparator);
// => [
// {name: 'John Connor', firstAppearance: 'Terminator 2: Judgement Day'},
// {name: 'Kyle Reese', firstAppearance: 'The Terminator'},
// {name: 'Sarah Connor', firstAppearance: 'The Terminator'},
// {name: 'T-800', firstAppearance: 'The Terminator'},
// {name: 'T-1000', firstAppearance: 'Terminator 2: Judgement Day'}
// ]
