Features

• Efficient String Manipulation: Build strings efficiently without the performance overhead of regular string concatenation.
• Simple API: Easy-to-use methods for appending, clearing, and converting strings.
• Lightweight and Fast: Minimal overhead, focusing on performance and simplicity.

Usage

StringBuilder

The StringBuilder class provides a way to build strings efficiently by appending multiple parts. It's especially useful when dealing with loops or conditions that require frequent string concatenations.

Basic Usage

To start using StringBuilder, first import it from the library and create a new instance. You can then use the append method to add strings, and toString to get the final concatenated string.

import { StringBuilder } from '@osaedasia/std';

const builder = new StringBuilder();
builder.append('Hello, ');
builder.append('world!');
console.log(builder.toString()); // Output: Hello, world!

Using Initial Value

You can initialize StringBuilder with an initial value by passing a string to its constructor. This is helpful when you have a starting string and want to build upon it.

import { StringBuilder } from '@osaedasia/std';

const builder = new StringBuilder('Start: ');
builder.append('Middle, ');
builder.append('End.');
console.log(builder.toString()); // Output: Start: Middle, End.

Loop Appending

When building a string within a loop, StringBuilder enhances performance by minimizing the overhead of string concatenation. Here's how you can use it in a loop to create a multi-line string:

import { StringBuilder } from '@osaedasia/std';

const builder = new StringBuilder();
for (let i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
    builder.append(`Line ${i}\n`);
}
console.log(builder.toString());
// Output:
// Line 0
// Line 1
// Line 2
// Line 3
// Line 4

Clearing and Reusing

If you need to reuse the StringBuilder instance for building a new string, you can clear its content using the clear method. This allows you to reset the builder without creating a new instance.

import { StringBuilder } from '@osaedasia/std';

const builder = new StringBuilder('Initial ');
builder.append('Content.');
console.log(builder.toString()); // Output: Initial Content.

builder.clear();
builder.append('New Content.');
console.log(builder.toString()); // Output: New Content.

Reporting Issues

If you encounter any issues while using the library, feel free to report them by creating an issue on the GitLab repository. Since I’m the sole maintainer, please provide as much detail as possible to help me resolve the issue efficiently. Make sure to include:

• Clear description of the problem.
• Steps to reproduce the issue.
• library version.
• Relevant information such as:
  • Stack trace.
  • Environment details (e.g., operating system, Node.js version, Deno version, etc.).
  • Code snippets where the issue occurs.

Your detailed feedback is crucial in improving the library for everyone.
