Overview
The library provides a flexible and powerful set of tools for querying and manipulating collections of objects in TypeScript. Whether you need to filter, paginate, or perform complex queries, this library offers an intuitive interface and extensive features.
Features
- Construct queries with a variety of comparison operators.
- Easily manipulate and filter object collections based on specific criteria.
- Perform data manipulation operations on collections.
- Calculate sums, select specific properties, and group elements by key.
- Implement pagination with methods to limit and offset the collection.
- Benefit from type safety and enhanced code completion when using TypeScript.
Installation
You can install the library using npm.
Using npm:
npm install @njs-lib/select-query --save

SelectQuery Class
The SelectQuery provides utility methods for querying and manipulating collections of objects.
Constructor
new SelectQuery([])
Creates a new instance of SelectQuery with the provided collection.
- @param
collection
: An array of objects to be used for querying.
Methods
first(): T | undefined
Gets the first element of the collection.
const data = [
{ id: 1, name: 'Jak', age: 30 },
{ id: 2, name: 'Bob', age: 25 },
{ id: 3, name: 'Tom', age: 20 },
{ id: 4, name: 'Sam', age: 20 },
];
const result = new SelectQuery(data).first();
// RESULT { id: 1, name: 'Jak', age: 30 };
last(): T | undefined
Gets the last element of the collection.
const data = [
{ id: 1, name: 'Jak', age: 30 },
{ id: 2, name: 'Bob', age: 25 },
{ id: 3, name: 'Tom', age: 20 },
{ id: 4, name: 'Sam', age: 20 },
];
const result = new SelectQuery(data).last();
// RESULT { id: 4, name: 'Sam', age: 20 };
get(): T[]
Gets all elements in the collection.
const data = [
{ id: 1, name: 'Jak', age: 30 },
{ id: 2, name: 'Bob', age: 25 },
{ id: 3, name: 'Tom', age: 20 },
{ id: 4, name: 'Sam', age: 20 },
];
const result = new SelectQuery(data).last();
/* RESULT
[
{ id: 1, name: 'Jak', age: 30 },
{ id: 2, name: 'Bob', age: 25 },
{ id: 3, name: 'Tom', age: 20 },
{ id: 4, name: 'Sam', age: 20 },
];
*/
count(): number
Gets the number of elements in the collection.
const data = [
{ id: 1, name: 'Jak', age: 30 },
{ id: 2, name: 'Bob', age: 25 },
{ id: 3, name: 'Tom', age: 20 },
{ id: 4, name: 'Sam', age: 20 },
];
const result = new SelectQuery(data).count();
// RESULT 4
limit(limit: number): SelectQuery<T>
Limits the number of objects in the collection to a specified maximum.
- @param
limit
The maximum number of objects to include in the collection
const data = [
{ id: 1, name: 'Jak', age: 30 },
{ id: 2, name: 'Bob', age: 25 },
{ id: 3, name: 'Tom', age: 20 },
{ id: 4, name: 'Sam', age: 20 },
];
const result = new SelectQuery(data).limit(2).get();
/* RESULT
[
{ id: 1, name: 'Jak', age: 30 },
{ id: 2, name: 'Bob', age: 25 },
]
*/
offset(offset: number): SelectQuery<T>
Offsets the collection by a specified number of objects.
- @param
offset
The number of objects to skip from the beginning of the collection.
const data = [
{ id: 1, name: 'Jak', age: 30 },
{ id: 2, name: 'Bob', age: 25 },
{ id: 3, name: 'Tom', age: 20 },
{ id: 4, name: 'Sam', age: 20 },
];
const result = new SelectQuery(data).offset(2).get();
/* RESULT
[
{ id: 3, name: 'Tom', age: 20 },
{ id: 4, name: 'Sam', age: 20 },
]
*/
paginate(num: number, size: number): SelectQuery<T>
Paginates the collection based on a page number and page size.
- @param
num
The page number (1-based). - @param
size
The number of objects per page.
const data = [
