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

iterDedupeBy

NPM version Build Status Coverage Status

Create an iterator which removes consecutive values that resolve to the same value according to a provided function.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/iter-dedupe-by

Usage

var iterDedupeBy = require( '@stdlib/iter-dedupe-by' );

iterDedupeBy( iterator, [limit,] fcn )

Returns an iterator which removes consecutive values that resolve to the same value according to a provided function.

var array2iterator = require( '@stdlib/array-to-iterator' );

function fcn( v ) {
    return v;
}

var arr = array2iterator( [ 1, 1, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4 ] );
var it = iterDedupeBy( arr, fcn );
// returns <Object>

var v = it.next().value;
// returns 1

v = it.next().value;
// returns 2

v = it.next().value;
// returns 3

v = it.next().value;
// returns 4

var bool = it.next().done;
// returns true

The returned iterator protocol-compliant object has the following properties:

  • next: function which returns an iterator protocol-compliant object containing the next iterated value (if one exists) assigned to a value property and a done property having a boolean value indicating whether the iterator is finished.
  • return: function which closes an iterator and returns a single (optional) argument in an iterator protocol-compliant object.

The callback function is provided five arguments:

  • curr: current source iterated value.
  • sprev: previous source iterated value.
  • dprev: previous downstream iterated value.
  • index: source iteration index (zero-based).
  • acc: previous resolved value.

The returned iterator removes consecutive values which resolve to the same value and does not return globally "unique" values.

var array2iterator = require( '@stdlib/array-to-iterator' );

function fcn( v ) {
    return v;
}

var arr = array2iterator( [ 1, 1, 2, 1, 1, 2 ] );
var it = iterDedupeBy( arr, fcn );
// returns <Object>

var v = it.next().value;
// returns 1

v = it.next().value;
// returns 2

v = it.next().value;
// returns 1

v = it.next().value;
// returns 2

var bool = it.next().done;
// returns true

To specify the number of allowed consecutive duplicated values, provide a limit argument.

var array2iterator = require( '@stdlib/array-to-iterator' );

function fcn( v ) {
    return v;
}

var arr = array2iterator( [ 1, 1, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4 ] );
var it = iterDedupeBy( arr, 2, fcn );
// returns <Object>

var v = it.next().value;
// returns 1

v = it.next().value;
// returns 1

v = it.next().value;
// returns 2

v = it.next().value;
// returns 3

v = it.next().value;
// returns 3

v = it.next().value;
// returns 4

v = it.next().value;
// returns 4

var bool = it.next().done;
// returns true

Notes

  • If an environment supports Symbol.iterator and a provided iterator is iterable, the returned iterator is iterable.

Examples

var randi = require( '@stdlib/random-iter-discrete-uniform' );
var iterDedupe = require( '@stdlib/iter-dedupe' );
var iterDedupeBy = require( '@stdlib/iter-dedupe-by' );

function fcn( curr, sprev, dprev, i, acc ) {
    if ( curr < dprev ) {
        return 1;
    }
    if ( curr === dprev ) {
        return acc; // ensures that duplicate values are removed
    }
    // curr > dprev
    return -1;
}

// Create a seeded iterator for generating pseudorandom integers:
var rand = randi( 1, 10, {
    'seed': 1234,
    'iter': 100
});

// Create an iterator which removes consecutive duplicated values:
var deduped = iterDedupe( rand );

// Create an iterator which forces consecutive values to follow an alternating less than, greater than pattern:
var it = iterDedupeBy( deduped, fcn );

// Perform manual iteration...
var v;
while ( true ) {
    v = it.next();
    if ( v.done ) {
        break;
    }
    console.log( v.value );
}
